Description

Fresh, clean and neutral with walls of windows overlooking the tree tops, this sun-soaked Grosvenor Heights “Marshall” end-unit townhome was originally the model home for the community, and it shows! High-end finishes and window treatments, wood floors throughout and a fresh neutral paint job give a feeling of luxury to this lovely home. A gourmet kitchen with center island features Thermador appliances and a SubZero refrigerator. With two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding the living and dining rooms, the space is flooded with natural light. Privacy blinds are operated via the smart home system and allow light to filter in when closed, but the view is lovely … lush green trees and foliage. A linear gas fireplace with stone mantel and wet bar create the mood for cozy nights at home or entertaining a crowd. Three bedrooms up include a private primary suite with en suite bath and two walk-in closets (one with a window). Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. Laundry is located on the bedroom level. The entry level has an additional bedroom with full bath. This space is currently used as an exercise room but would also make an ideal home office. The two-car rear entry garage has been tricked out to include professional epoxy paint on the floor, making it easy to keep the garage sparkling clean. One of the highlights of this home is the spectacular private rooftop terrace, accessible by stairs or by elevator (the elevator connects each floor of the home). The terrace features a fireplace, built-in grill, wet bar and a mounted television. making this the perfect space for entertaining or watching the big game on a crisp autumn afternoon. This home comes with a state-of-the-art “Savant” smart home system that controls the blinds, sound, televisions, and lights, all operable through a control pad on the wall or your smart phone. This home is freshly painted in neutral colors. Ideally located at the front of the community, less than one mile to Metro, the Bethesda Trolley Trail, Fleming Park and Wildwood Shopping Center. Park your car in your garage and enjoy the convenience offered by this fabulous Bethesda location!

    "Bethesda is a great neighborhood. Unfortunately the small business owners are being pushed out by the the larger corp. that have bought up so much real estate. Rents are very high and commercial rent is as well. Sadly it is slowly losing its neighborhood charm and it will soon look like every other cookie cutter block with all the same large corporation businesses. There is a homeless shelter that’s not well advertised on Cordell ave & Wisconsin Ave so you will see people begging for money on the regular. Great access to I459, the Metro and DC if that’s seen as a plus for you. "

All of the Mom & Pop places are slowly being pushed out and the same old big box companies are moving in. Tons of new building are going up over night here. A bit pricy. It’s a great place put you definitely pay for it. "
