| 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. You’ll love living here – we all do!
The extraordinary home pictured above, was built near the end of
Wood Acres construction, which means it is younger than most homes
in the neighborhood. The benefit of less age is obvious, but more
significantly, the builder had “stretched the plans”
by this phase of construction and the rooms in this house are a
foot or two bigger, in comparison with most other Wood Acres original
rooms. Further, the present owners completed a high-quality renovation
and expansion of the home to include a gracious foyer, a terrific
sky-lighted family room, an old-fashioned front porch, a private
office, more closets and a rebuilt bath in the master bedroom. Their
work also resulted in a more open floor plan that satisfies the
needs of today’s lifestyle and offers an excellent flow for
entertaining. Enjoy!
