Welcome to this delightful mid-century residence on a serene tree-lined street in the popular Town of Somerset. Overlooking a lushly landscaped private yard, this lovely home incorporates the exuberant and whimsical styles of the 1950's while providing comfortable living areas and great entertaining spaces. There is a sun-drenched living room with a corner fireplace, a spacious dining room with double doors to the sunroom, a table space kitchen, and a sunroom with bucolic views and access to the garage and yard. Imagine cookouts and barbecues on the patio, morning coffee and casual dinners in the sunroom, and soccer games on the large lawn. Completing the main level are three generously sized bedrooms, two baths, fixed stairs to the attic, and a garage. The expansive lower level features a paneled family room with fireplace and built-in shelving that was the wonderful setting for neighborhood plays, musical productions, birthday parties, and magic shows. In addition, there is a private office or potential fourth bedroom, full bath, playroom that was the scene for many a ping pong tournament, a large utility and laundry room, and an exterior entrance.The home's superb location is close to all amenities that the Town of Somerset has to offer - a community swimming pool, tennis courts, batting cage and basketball hoops. The award-winning Somerset Elementary School is nearby. The Fourth of July picnic, parties and dinners at the Pool, and trick or treating on Halloween are popular Town traditions. Within walking distance are the jogging and biking trails of the Capital Crescent Trail, Norwood Park, Metro, Friendship Heights, and the shopping and restaurant scene in downtown Bethesda.
