Located along the tree-lined streets of the Town of Somerset, the historic charm of this 1936 home is readily apparent at the front door.  Expanded in 2012, there are five bedrooms and four and one-half baths.  The dining room features a large fireplace, while the sitting room and living room offer original beams and built-in bookshelves. The updated kitchen opens to the spacious and well-lit family room with wood burning fireplace and includes a large island with copper prep sink; the breakfast area opens to a delightful terrace.
 
The upper level includes four bedrooms; the primary suite features a bay window, window seat, walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. Two additional bathrooms and a convenient laundry room complete this level. The lower level is accessed through front and rear stairs, and includes the fifth bedroom, full bath, recreation room, storage and access to the built-in two-car garage. 
 
Set in the historic district of Somerset, this home enjoys proximity to Somerset Elementary School, the Somerset pool, tennis courts, Capello Park and nearby Friendship Heights Metro as well as downtown Bethesda and the Capital Crescent Trail.
