Welcome to this contemporary 4 BR/3 BA house in the forest overlooking the Potomac River. Situated in a gorgeous setting, this spacious home is move-in ready with many updates in recent years. The house has a BRAND NEW roof and has just been fully painted. On the main level, the gourmet kitchen features cherry cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances (with a new gas/electric range). Recessed and under counter lighting has been added in many areas of the home to augment the original lighting package. All windows have been replaced over time and are double-paned. The AC and hot water heater also have been recently changed out. There is a wonderful deck off the living room and the first bedroom which provides winter views of the Potomac. Both the living room and the expansive family room on the lower level have fireplaces, with the latter incorporating a wood burning stove, and they both look out upon all the greenery of the neighborhood. A bedroom and office/den provide private space to work and to house guests. The location can't be beat - the C & O towpath, hiking and biking trails are just a stone's throw away. Mohican Pool and Glen Echo Neighborhood Park are also nearby. It has easy access to Macarthur Boulevard, Massachusetts Avenue, Goldsboro Rd, Clara Barton Parkway, Chain Bridge and I-495, plus it is just minutes to downtown Bethesda and DC.
