Property Description
This classic brick Colonial combines timeless Wood Acres architecture with an impressive list of recent improvements. Over the past three years, there have been substantial investments made throughout the property, including a new asphalt-shingle roof (2024), new air-conditioning system (2024), and new furnace (2025). The lower level was completely redesigned and finished in 2024 with upgraded insulation, new LVP flooring, new recessed lighting, new windows, a full bath, and a renovated laundry room. The primary and hall baths were refreshed with new vanities, toilet, and ventilation. The homes beautiful hardwood floors were refinished, the interior was painted throughout, new ceiling fan and light fixtures were installed, and recessed lighting was added to the living room. Additional improvements include new flues for the furnace and hot water heater, new chimney cap and crown, professionally cleaned ductwork, smart smoke detectors, window treatments, and a radon remediation system. In 2026, the exterior brick was painted, new screens were installed on the rear porch, and the kitchen was refreshed with newly installed countertops. But perhaps the most valuable feature of this home is something that simply cannot be added or renovated: its extraordinary location. Of the 400+ homes in Wood Acres, only about 15 enjoy the remarkable convenience of having Wood Acres Park directly outside their backyard. This is one of those special properties. Step through your own private rear gate and you are immediately in the heart of the community. Walk the dog, take a morning jog, meet friends for tennis or basketball, head to the ball fields, or let the kids enjoy not one, but two renovated playgrounds featuring specialty equipment. Throw a birthday party and invite the entire gang to meet you at the park. With Wood Acres Elementary adjacent to the park, so much of neighborhood life is literally right outside your back door. The possibilities are endless. Despite this extraordinary access, the backyard itself feels wonderfully private. Mature landscaping includes flowering azaleas in shades of white, pink, purple, and orange, along with a newly planted dogwood tree positioned behind a delightful garden bencha peaceful setting just steps from all the activity of the park. And then there is Wood Acres itself. Wood Acres has long been considered one of Bethesdas finest neighborhoods, treasured for its rolling terrain, centrally located community park, highly acclaimed elementary school, and remarkably consistent architecture. The new Westbard Square shops and restaurants are just a short stroll away. Living here captures some of the magic of an era gone bya neighborhood where children walk to school, neighbors gather in the park, and generations of families have formed lasting friendships and memories. The postcard-like colonial architecture that gives Wood Acres its distinctive character has been carefully preserved and nurtured over the decades, aided in large part by an active, resident-led Wood Acres Citizens Association. There are many wonderful homes in Wood Acres. There are very few that offer this combination of classic architecture, extensive recent improvements, a private backyard, and direct gated access to the park. This is one of them.
