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 is special because of the many upgrades
and improvements made to the original house. The wall between the
old kitchen and dining room was removed and a designer Maple cabinet
and black granite countertop kitchen and breakfast room was created
that is open and practical. Adjacent to that is where a wide opening
was made to incorporate the old garage space which has been converted
into an excellent family with skylights and French doors to the
back patio. Both baths upstairs have been renovated and the home
is in very good condition. The backyard has been cleared to maximize
the play space and is nicely landscaped. There is even an old-fashioned
brick barbeque at the back of the lot. This house has been carefully
maintained and offers an excellent value in an excellent neighborhood.
