Property Description
5323 Massachusetts Avenue, a beautifully maintained, light-filled brick Colonial that balances timeless charm with thoughtful updates, is just steps from Spring Valley (DC), Friendship Heights, the new Westbard Square, and the Capital Crescent Trail. Sited elegantly on a deep Bethesda lot, this picturesque brick façade home is framed by lush landscaping and manicured gardens. Inside, quintessential details abound: hardwood floors, crown and tray ceilings, recessed lighting, and a handsome wood-burning fireplace set the tone for elegant yet comfortable living. Tucked in the heart of Westhaven, one of Bethesda's most enduring neighborhoods, this home offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a floor plan that feels both classic and current. The center-hall foyer unfolds into a generous living room and formal dining room -- both sun-drenched and inviting. The bright, functional kitchen includes a breakfast nook with a bay window seat and offers opportunity to expand or reimagine with modern finishes. Just off the kitchen, a mudroom provides the perfect entry - with storage and easy access from the garage, driveway, and rear patio with fully fenced backyard that's perfect for entertaining, dining al fresco, or letting pets play. A rare main-level bedroom with cathedral ceilings and sliding glass doors to the patio offers incredible flexibility -- perfect for a guest suite, home office, or in-law space. A full bath and new powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes multiple custom closets, built-ins, and an en suite full bath. Two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the second floor. Need more space? The walk-up attic is fully floored and ready to be finished into a bonus room, office, or expanded owner's retreat The lower level features a recreation room with built-ins, a full bathroom, and private entrance -- ideal for an au pair or guest suite, or a fourth bedroom setup. Laundry and ample storage round out the space. The spacious and tiered back gardens are resplendent with flowering bushes, trees, wide and grassy areas for play. Private and fully fenced, the expansive hardscaped patio is large enough for any multi-generational barbeque. Additional highlights include an attached garage, long private driveway, storage shed, and extensive mechanical and system updates throughout. From this prime location, enjoy walkability to Westbrook and Westland schools, parks, trails, and shopping -- with quick access to Downtown Bethesda, Metro, Walter Reed, NIH, and major commuter routes. 5323 Massachusetts Avenue in Bethesda is a rare blend of architectural integrity, flexible living, and unbeatable location -- a home ready to grow with you.
