The gourmet kitchen boasts granite countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and opens to a sunny breakfast area and great room. An elegant dining room, a dedicated home office, and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace offer both function and style.

The second bedroom is a true en suite, offering its own private full bath. The third bedroom—an expansive space created by combining two original bedrooms—has a full bathroom accessed from the main hallway. If desired, this room can easily be reconfigured back into two separate bedrooms, restoring the original four-bedroom layout upstairs. The walk-out lower level features a light-filled living area with fireplace, the 5th bedroom and full bath, a bonus room with direct access to the backyard, a mud room, access to the 2-car garage equipped with built-in organizers, plus a large utility & storage room. The exterior of this home is a true outdoor oasis, perfect for hosting memorable gatherings or simply retreating from the outside world. As a bonus, the home comes with a membership to the Palisades Swim and Tennis Club—a rare and valuable perk! Ideally located just minutes from the C&O Canal, Glen Echo, Downtown Bethesda, and Georgetown, and with easy access to major commuter routes, this home is a true gem in Cabin John.
