Beautifully updated Cape Cod on a quiet street in Bethesda's sought-after Sumner neighborhood, offering six bedrooms, five full baths, and generously proportioned living space across three levels. The renovated open-concept kitchen anchors the main floor, featuring a large center island, gourmet stainless steel appliances, ample storage, and garden views that draw the eye toward the backyard. It flows naturally into a formal dining room and a sun-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a layout that works equally well for everyday living and entertaining. Three main-level bedrooms, including two with full baths, provide rare flexibility for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms include a beautifully renovated en-suite and a Jack-and-Jill bath. A spacious sunroom connects the interior to a private stone patio and a flat, tree-lined backyard that feels like a true retreat, fully fenced, quiet, and lush. The finished lower level adds a second fireplace, a full bath, and walk-out access, rounding out a home with space for nearly every need. Attached two-car garage, hardwood floors, plaster walls, and solid brick construction throughout. Recent updates include new roof (2026), electric car charger, fireplace chimney liner and damper (2026), ceiling fans, basement flooring and additional storage in garage attic. Wood Acres / Pyle / Walt Whitman schools. Minutes to downtown Bethesda, NW DC, the Clara Barton Parkway, and the C&O Canal. PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2026, 1:00-3:00 PM. BROKER OPEN HOUSE TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2026, 1:00-3:00 PM.
