Property Description
Behind a classic white picket fence on one of Glen Echo's quietest streets, this charming expanded split-level has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for 48 years. Located across from some of the neighborhood's oldest homes, dating to the 1840s, the setting offers a wonderful sense of community and history while remaining convenient to Glen Echo Park, the C&O Canal and major commuter routes.
Originally built as a 1960s split-level, the home has been thoughtfully expanded to create a 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence with approximately 3,470 total square feet, including approximately 2,504 finished square feet plus 966 square feet of partially finished lower-level space.
The main living level offers an inviting open flow with beautiful hardwood floors, exposed beams, a built-in wet bar, abundant natural light and a handsome brick fireplace. The spacious living room flows to a dining area with a wall of windows overlooking the neighborhood. The adjoining kitchen features custom-quality wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, abundant storage and a convenient pull-out pantry. French doors open to a lovely deck and brick patio for easy indoor-outdoor living.
The generous primary bedroom features a private en-suite bath with soaking tub, walk-in closet, vaulted ceiling, large windows and multiple custom storage areas. Three additional bedrooms and a small office provide excellent flexibility and abundant closet space. The fourth bedroom/den includes a newer attached bath with shower bench, creating a comfortable private guest suite.
The lower level adds valuable versatility with multiple windows and a walk-out to the side yard. The partially finished space can serve as an office, studio, recreation area or workshop and includes a private entrance, wine racks and full laundry.
Outside, the beautifully maintained lawn and garden are framed by a charming picket fence and flagstone walkway, with a rear deck and brick patio providing inviting spaces for relaxing, dining and entertaining.
Recent improvements include remodeled mid- and lower-level bathrooms, new hot water heater and A/C, HardiePlank siding, Pella windows and doors, updated appliances and flooring, retaining walls, fresh paint and more.
Glen Echo offers a vibrant, close-knit community with holiday parties and potlucks at Town Hall, a community garden, local newspaper, Little Free Library and easy access to nearby trails. Convenient to Bethesda, Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, I-495 and I-270, and located in the Bannockburn Elementary, Thomas W. Pyle Middle and Walt Whitman High School cluster.
Glen Echo — historic charm, modern comfort and an extraordinary sense of community.
