Wood Acres is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Bethesda, known for its attractive brick colonials shaded by towering trees. The atmosphere in Wood Acres is caring and friendly and there is a spirit of community that makes people proud to live here. The neighborhood elementary school was beautifully rebuilt in 2002 and the park behind the school is a “Norman Rockwell” setting for children of all ages. You may have even heard about the fabulous Halloween festivities or the old-fashioned Fourth of July parade and picnic that are famous in this part of Bethesda. Owning a home in Wood Acres gives you more than just a building with some rooms in it – you get the comforting feeling of belonging that comes with being part of a wonderful tradition that has been carefully nurtured by its residents for a very long time. It is an excellent place to live and you will love it!

The home pictured above has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated by Case Construction with a two-story brick addition, yielding four bedrooms and three baths on the second level. One of those is the new master suite with a large bath and a walk-in closet. The new kitchen is spacious and practical with plenty of room to work on the granite counters, including a breakfast bar. The adjacent breakfast area opens to the family room addition which features a stone fireplace with a 42” plasma television mounted above. There is a mudroom entrance from the side yard and the entrance from the garage takes you through the new first-floor laundry room. Built towards the end of the neighborhood’s development, the rooms here are just a little bigger than what you would find in a typical Wood Acres home. Add to that the flagstone patio and backyard playhouse and you have one of the most special homes in Wood Acres.
