OFFER DEADLINE TUE FEB 24 at 11:00 a.m. This is a home that is the backdrop for what comes next. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Greenwich Forest, this classic brick Bethesda home offers the space, layout, and location to evolve. Close to everything, it is an ideal property with room for what is ahead, all just moments from downtown Bethesda.

A cheerful brick facade, landscaped grounds, and a wrap-around covered front porch create immediate curb appeal and hint to the warmth within. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors and sun-filled spaces define the main level. The gracious living room is anchored by a fireplace and framed by a gorgeous bay window, offering warmth and tradition from the moment you enter. A convenient main-level powder room adds everyday functionality.

Upstairs offers the ultimate in owner flexibility, with three bedrooms on the second level that share a full hall bath. The entire third floor is dedicated to the owner's retreat, featuring dual closets, a dressing area, and a dual-vanity en-suite bath. A private sanctuary tucked above it all. But if needed, a fully functioning teen lounge, office space, or guest suite. Many options dependent upon changing needs.

The lower level offers a finished family room with a built-in office nook, an additional powder room, laundry, and ample storage. There is room to add a shower to create a full bath or finish the space for another legal bedroom.

The best part of this home is the yard -- positioned for privacy, large enough for games and gardening, and with ample space for friends to gather. Even the four-legged kind.

A private driveway provides off-street parking, complemented by a storage shed for added convenience.
