Overview
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Congressional Manor, this classic rambler sits on nearly 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped and wooded grounds. The setting feels private and serene, yet you’re just a short walk to Congressional Country Club. Best of all, the home features a coveted FIRST-FLOOR PRIMARY SUITE – a major highlight that adds ease and convenience to everyday living.
The expansive lot is a true showstopper – offering endless possibilities for outdoor play, a pool, or a dream garden retreat. Inside, natural light floods the inviting living spaces, where a striking exposed brick wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room and flows seamlessly into the formal dining room. Walls of picture windows frame sweeping views of the backyard, bringing the outdoors in at every turn.
The gourmet kitchen features maple cabinetry, terra cotta flooring, granite and tile counters, and stainless-steel appliances, opening to a sunny breakfast nook and a welcoming family room with a gas fireplace and custom built-ins. French doors lead to a patterned concrete patio that overlooks the lush gardens.
The first-floor primary suite offers the ultimate convenience, with oversized picture windows showcasing the surrounding greenery. A renovated en-suite bath boasts radiant heated floors, a glass-enclosed shower, and a double vanity, while the generous walk-in closet adds function to style. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and a powder room completes the main level.
The bright, walk-out lower level expands the living space with a versatile recreation room, built-ins, and a wood-burning fireplace, plus two additional bedrooms, a full bath, an office/third bedroom, and plenty of storage.
Move right in and enjoy – or bring your imagination and unlock the full potential of this exceptional home, ideally located in the highly sought-after Carderock ES, Pyle MS, and Whitman HS cluster.
