4604 WESTERN AVE Bethesda, MD 20816

Welcome to this expanded home that harmoniously blends historic charm with modern upgrades in desirable Westgate in Bethesda. A true turn-key gem that has been artfully crafted by local, award-winning Scribe Development with architectural plans by local favorites, Thomson & Cooke. No detail is overlooked: energy-efficient windows, brand-new hardwoods, custom millwork, high-end lighting and fixtures, as well as luxury tile, quartz, and marble in the kitchen and bathrooms. Sited back from the street, this solid brick charmer is fully fenced for privacy. The delightful front porch greets you and beckons you inside. The large living room -- with gleaming hardwoods and a rebuilt wood-burning fireplace -- flows perfectly into the white and bright gourmet kitchen with custom shiplap walls, large island with seating for four and stainless steel appliances perfect for any chef. The not-to-be-missed wallpapered powder room is next to the side entrance with a full-light window that leads out to the private, expansive back yard with a bluestone patio for al fresco dining and a large grassy yard and a 2-car parking pad. The main floor also has a charming dining room with exposed brick. The 2nd level boasts three spacious bedrooms, two full baths with penny tile flooring, and a sophisticated primary suite with a luxe en-suite marble bath. The delightful treetop 3rd floor has another bedroom, sitting area and en suite bathroom, that could an alternate primary bedroom if desired. The lower level does not disappoint: more living space with a fourth full bath, the 5th bedroom, family room, and a laundry / mud room with high-efficiency front loaders and folding station that has egress to the backyard.

Nestled in the Westgate / Westbrook neighborhood, and named one of Bethesda Magazines Great Neighborhoods, this well-established community continues to delight residents decade after decade with its Fourth of July and Halloween parades, block parties and other community events. A short stroll to the neighborhood gem Millie's and the home-town butcher at Wagshal's and sidewalk dining at Pizzeria Paradiso and Compass Coffee, Crate & Barrel, and the Spring Valley Shopping Center. Just 1 mile to the Friendship Heights Metro and all its conveniences, dining, shopping, Amazon Grocery, medical offices, Whole Foods, and more.
