5608 Harwick Road • Bethesda, MD 20816

Welcome to one of the most coveted streets in the fabulous neighborhood of Wood Acres - upper Harwick Road! This lucky block of residents enjoy a long stretch of level road which is a scarce commodity in Wood Acres. This handsome colonial sits mid-block and is unique in having a level backyard with a pastoral view - there is no house directly behind this one. The driveway provides off-street parking for up to three cars and there is plenty of street parking.<br/><br/>The house has been customized and expanded to have a Family room with a dramatic cathedral ceiling, an Office (or separate Dining room) with a picture window view of the lovely backyard, a renovated Kitchen with a granite island and breakfast area, and a Mudroom. Also on this level you will find a generous Bedroom and adjoining full bath - well suited to be the Primary bedroom if so desired - with an exit door to the flagstone patio, which is ideal for outdoor entertainment and perfect for all types of games. This versatile floor plan is conducive to everyday convenience and gracious entertaining, flowing seamlessly throughout the main level.<br/><br>The second floor has the original three bedrooms and you will be delighted with the stylishly remodeled bathrooms, one of which is en-suite with the largest bedroom. The exquisite tile work by the acclaimed Alexander Brothers, is a source of pride.<br/><br/>The lower level offers a nicely finished recreation room with new carpeting and the utility/laundry area. Wood Acres homes were solidly built by Albert Walker with brick, block and steel beams that have passed the test of time with honors!<br/><br/>The home has been recently painted and the newly refinished hardwood flooring looks better than new. There are gorgeous built-ins throughout the home. It is a short two and a half block walk to the nucleus of the neighborhood, wonderful Wood Acres Park where everyone gathers for the old fashioned Independence Day Celebration. The Capital Crescent Trail is nearby for hiking/biking into thriving downtown Bethesda or all the way to Georgetown. People who live here also value the close proximity of Glen Echo Park, the C&O Canal and the Potomac river. And residents in this area are excited for the rapidly developing Westbard Square with the new Giant Food, Starbucks, Tatte, various restaurants and shops and a Post Office! It is already very popular and more is on the way. This nearby center will be a tremendous boon to neighborhood values in the near future. This special home is one you should see right away.
