5511 Northfield Rd is an expanded and updated home in sought-after Greenwich Forest. An easy 1 mile to the Bethesda Farmers Market and downtown Bethesda, a short walk to NIH and Walter Reed and just steps to Greenwich Forest Park, this traditional colonial is filled with natural light. Larger than it seems, this special property includes a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a family room, a powder room and even a cozy sunroom on the entry level. The renovated kitchen with its granite counters, pantry and gas stove opens to the large, bay-windowed, breakfast room. Exiting to the private fenced backyard, a brick patio and a spectacular Japanese garden await. Upstairs finds the expanded primary bedroom with its own sitting room, two more bedrooms and the hall bathroom. Both the main and upper levels showcase hardwood floors. The lower level is spacious enough for a recreation room, gym or office. The possibilities are endless and the choice is yours!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
