**Showings to begin Friday 8/26 at 10 am** Welcome home to 9403 Holland Avenue, a meticulously maintained and updated home in the desirable Maplewood neighborhood of Bethesda. This four-bedroom home (with the potential for a fifth bedroom in the loft area) features large living space on the main level with soaring 12-foot ceilings and a large picture window, allowing for natural light to flow into the room. The main floor office overlooking the manicured front lawn will make working from home a delight! The custom-designed, well-appointed, updated kitchen overlooks the dining area with bar seating. The kitchen features solid wood cabinetry with quiet close drawers and cabinets, some with pull-out shelving. The stunning, seamless, Brazilian granite countertops create quite the focal point in this kitchen space. A gas range, French door refrigerator, both a whole house and ANSI Standards 42&53 filter on the instant hot water dispenser add to the features of this custom space. Meal prep will be a delight in this lovely kitchen! The upper-level features hardwood floors throughout the three bedrooms. The primary bedroom, with an ensuite bathroom, overlooks the manicured backyard, making this room a welcome retreat. Two generously sized closets round out this bedroom. The additional two bedrooms are generous in scale and have views of the backyard – abundant closet space is also a great feature in both rooms. The gleaming white and navy-blue tiled hall bathroom has a large bathtub for soaking away the day’s stress. Do not miss the fun loft space (with bedroom potential!) complete with a built-in dresser and desk area, closea t, and attic storage. The above grade, lower level, of this charming home features a large family room, with walk-out to the rear yard and another large picture window. A stone-faced, gas fireplace, will make this the place to cozy up during the winter months to watch your favorite movie! The 4th bedroom with ensuite bathroom is also located on this level, as is the laundry room, which has another door to the backyard. Down a few steps is yet another unique feature of this home … just over 600 square feet of fully insulated storage space. With 6-foot ceilings to call it a crawl space truly does not do it justice! The backyard is a quiet oasis with mature trees and plantings as well as a patio space – perfect for al fresco meals! Through the bamboo trail, on the lower 50 feet of the yard you will find one of two large storage sheds – with maintenance-friendly siding, French doors, and 2 skylights! Another storage shed is conveniently located on the patio. Perfect for storing your bikes after a ride on the nearby Rock Creek Park which is closed to cars on the weekends for pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy all the park has to offer. Another storage shed is conveniently located on the patio. It is not an exaggeration to say this home's neighborhood is central to the city of Bethesda, with even the adjacent Bethesda Meeting House - for which the surrounding city was named - being on the edge of the neighborhood. Easy auto access to 495, within a mile walk to the Metro, or via bike downtown on the Capital Crescent trail - commuting made easy in the DMV. Walk to Maplewood Park with its large recreational fields and playground or join the nearby YMCA with indoor and outdoor pools and tennis and pickleball courts. NIH and Walter Reed are also easily accessed within a mile of the property. Grocery shopping, restaurants, and unique boutique shopping are minutes away in Wildwood Village or downtown Bethesda. Please see the disclosure packet for a detailed list of improvements to this home including a new roof in 2022!
