NEWLY REVISED PRICE! 5811 Ridgefield Road offers one level living in one of the best neighborhoods of close-in Bethesda. The main level foyer opens to a warmly inviting living room accented by a traditional wood burning fireplace. The separate dining room has French doors to a lovely year-round sunroom overlooking the naturally beautiful backyard. The updated kitchen has ample cabinetry, granite counters and a breakfast island. The foyer also leads to a hallway with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom has an en-suite shower bathroom. Downstairs you will find a lovely family room with full sized windows for plenty of natural light and a half bath. The oversized garage is on this level along with a spacious unfinished utility and storage area. The house is in excellent condition with all replacement windows and a roof that was replaced only a few years ago. This part of the neighborhood enjoys sidewalks which lead to the popular Wood Acres Elementary School, only a block and a half away! Right behind the school is the locally famous Wood Acres Park where so many children make use of climbing equipment, a tennis court and a basketball court. The Capital Crescent Trail is less than a mile away, right past the Whole Foods and the newly developing Westbard Square. People love this neighborhood for the easy commute to downtown DC and quick access to thriving downtown Bethesda. Oh, and Walt Whitman High School. See you soon!
