Perched atop a hill on a beautiful wooded lot, this sun-filled mid-century modern in Glen Echo Heights offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms in an ideal Bethesda location with easy access to downtown DC, Virginia, and beyond. A circular driveway and a charming front entrance create a welcoming arrival, surrounded by mature landscaping, lush greenery, and ample garden space. A dramatic two-story foyer filled with natural light sets the tone for the home’s airy, architectural feel. The upper-level living room is bright and inviting, featuring vaulted and beamed ceilings, oversized windows, and a built-in bar, with glass doors opening to a patio overlooking the serene setting. The updated kitchen is thoughtfully designed with double ovens, a pantry, a Bosch dishwasher, and skylights that flood the space with sunlight, with direct access to one of the many decks for effortless everyday living. The open family room is both warm and functional, offering hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, custom built-ins, and a gas fireplace with a striking stone mantle. Oversized glass doors lead to a multi-level deck and patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that is perfect for entertaining. Throughout the home, generous storage and oversized closets add superb convenience. The main-level primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with wood floors, a spacious closet plus an additional large walk-in closet, and a well-appointed bath with a dual vanity, a separate water closet with tub, and charming angled ceilings with beam accents. On the lower level, you’ll find ample sunlight, two generous bedrooms, a renovated hall bathroom, and a spacious laundry room with a utility sink and exterior access. A bonus mudroom space provides additional storage and flexibility as well as access to the yard, bringing the beautiful setting inside. The lowest level features a utility and storage room for convenience. Ideally located in the Whitman cluster, this home offers a seamless blend of contemporary architecture and functional spaces, providing an exceptional move-in-ready opportunity in the heart of Bethesda!
