5709 NAMAKAGAN RD Bethesda, MD 20816

Surrounded by flowering plants and trees on a professionally landscaped lot rests this "jewel box" home in Glen Mar Park. The perfect starter or down-size residence, this updated home is "just the right size". The approach to the front door flows along a gently curved flagstone walkway, level from the street, with just a few steps up to the front door. The home has been expanded with a south-facing side room addition that is flooded with natural sunlight. While it's currently used as a dining room it could also make a great home office or playroom. Updates include the main floor full bath featuring new tile, vanity, fixtures, mirror and lighting, updated replacement windows, refreshed kitchen, new HVAC ('16), new roof ('14), privacy fence ('14), Rain Bird automatic irrigation system ('14), and horizontal copper pipes ('16). The pull-down staircase to the fully-floored attic provides amazing storage and it includes updated insulation. The backyard is fully fenced and offers a large deck with built-in seating for entertaining, a convenient storage room under the side addition, and a lower-level patio. The neighborhood features a nearby community park with tot-lot, and tennis and basketball courts, as well as access to the Capital Crescent Trail, and nearby Shops at Sumner Place and the future Westbard Square. Premier public schools including Wood Acres Elementary, Pyle Middle, and Walt Whitman High School. It's easy to call this one "home"!
