Beautifully sited on an oversized lot in "The Westbrook Neighborhood" of Bethesda, this classic Dutch Colonial-style home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Updated yet filled with stunning original details, period mouldings and woodwork, custom built-ins, and hardwood flooring, this four-bedroom, two-and-one-half-bath center-hall Colonial offers three spacious levels of sun-filled living and exceptional flow. A stone walkway welcomes all, with an elegant entrance framed by mature trees and manicured landscaping. The perfect floor plan includes a foyer for warm greetings and lingering farewells. Dinner parties large or small are easily accommodated in the formal dining room, opened and cleverly tied into the modern kitchen that shines with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and enhanced layout. The gracious living room with fireplace, main level study (considered a main-floor bedroom) with a bay window and nearby half bath creates an ideal work-from-home retreat. And the best feature -- a sunroom that opens directly to the newly constructed deck giving owners a natural extension of the living space. Upstairs, the primary suite features hardwood floors, large layout, dual closets, and a private rooftop deck for an unexpected and delightful retreat. Bathed in light, the bedroom level maximizes utility and storage with another bedroom, a den or nursery, closets, and a full hall bath complete this floor. The lower level offers exceptional versatility with separate entrance, guest bedroom, another full bath, and a utilities/laundry room with sink and additional storage. Outside, the spacious private, fenced backyard offers room to play, garden, entertain, or unwind. Room for a pool? Check! What about enough room to expand and add onto this classic home? Check! There is room for that as well! Along with a private driveway with oversized one-car garage adds rare convenience for the neighborhood, this home is perfect now and in the future, whatever that might look like for its next owner. 5009 Allan Road is just moments to Friendship Heights, Downtown Bethesda, Spring Valley, the Capital Crescent Trail, local parks, and everyday amenities. Westbrook / Westland / B-CC schools serve the community. A quintessential home in The Westbrook Neighborhood / Bethesda. As always, interior square footage is determined by a third-party contractor, is approximate, and deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Welcome home!
