Rare diamond in the rough on street of multi-million-dollar homes offers unlimited possibilities for renovation or rebuilding! This 3-bedroom Colonial with dormer windows, flagstone steps and walkway lantern, exudes warmth and curb appeal in a sought-after, close-in neighborhood.

On the first floor, both the living room and adjacent dining room have hardwood floors and three large windows overlooking a charming, tiered backyard with stone walkway and towering trees. The living room is large, yet warm, with brick fireplace and three additional windows in the front filling the room with (afternoon?) sun. Opposite the living room is a large kitchen with honey-brown cabinets and breakfast area. Windows on two walls overlook the front and rear yards. A door leads from the kitchen to a screened porch. Off the kitchen, a room with double closets could serve as a 1st-floor office with nearby powder room off the foyer.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a master with fireplace, built-in bookshelves, two closets and connecting full bath with shower. Two large windows overlook the backyard. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath with tub and shower.

Off the foyer are stairs leading to the lower level with a paneled rec/family room, brick fireplace and wall of built-in bookshelves and cabinets. Two windows allow for natural light. There is a powder room on this level, along with a laundry/utility/storage room. A door from the laundry room leads to the 2-car garage.

In need of updating throughout, this home has many special features and wonderful potential: large primary rooms, a 1st-floor office, 2-car garage, three fireplaces (including one in the master!) and picturesque backyard views. Just off Goldsboro Road, its only minutes to downtown Bethesda, Glen Echo, the Potomac, and an easy commute to Northern Virginia or downtown D.C. With updating, cosmetic upgrades and your vision -- this home could be spectacular. Seize the opportunity. Start the transformation. Welcome home!
