Keeping it Under $700,000 in Bethesda
Real Estate in Bethesda is expensive. Your average 3-bedroom brick colonial home can run around $700,000, and that’s without a lot of frills and family rooms.
So, what does $700,000 OR LESS get you in Bethesda? I thought I’d high-lite a number of listings that are currently on the market. I’m focusing in on single family detached homes. Remember, these are only asking (not getting) prices:
111 Valley Road – $599,900
Subdivision: Brookmont
3BR/3FB
Built: 1928
Acres: 0.09
Live with the groovy hikers, bikers and kayakers. Fabulous location. Walk to the C&O canal. Dead end street. Teeny, tiny rooms. 2008 renovation. Nice patio.
6206 Massachusetts Avenue- $630,000
Subdivision: Glen Echo Heights
4BR/3FB
Built: 1954
Acres: 0.13
Expanded rambler with chef’s kitchen addition. Mass. Ave is a little busy, but you get more house for your money for the trade off. Walt Whitman School District.
9209 Friars Road, $699,000
Subdivision: Green Tree Manor
4BR/3FB
Built: 1966
Acres: 0.20
Spacious split level. Bit of a hike to downtown Bethesda from this location. But, you get some hardwood floors, shady trees in the back yard, a nice deck and a year-round sunroom.
5901 Lone Oak Drive- $585,000
Subdivision: Lone Oak
3BR/2FB
Built: 1946
Acres: 0.20
A lot of these smaller homes have been torn down over the years and replaced with bigger, newer homes. This cute cape looks like a keeper. Corner lot, screened porch, detached 2-car garage. Close to shopping and 495.
6304 Halbert Road East- $700,000
Subdivision: Bannockburn Coop
4BR/3FB
Built: 1953
Acres: 0.21
Nicely presented rambler with lower level. Great part of town- convenient to the river and MacArthur Blvd… but not so convenient to downtown. Plantation shutters, fireplace, recessed lighting, walk-out basement and screened porch (back view shown).
4710 Bayard Blvd- $419,000
Subdivision: Crestview
2BR/1FB
Built: 1923
Acres: 0.08
This little house is in in need of a major face lift… The lot is tiny… 3,369 s.f. Too small to build something new. That said, it’s got the best location of the bunch in terms of walking to Metro and into downtown Friendship Heights. Might make a wonderful condo alternative.
This is just a partial list of available homes. To see any of these homes, or to learn about the others, give me a call. I’ve lived in Bethesda for about 15 years and I’ve got the skinny on neighborhood swim clubs, dog parks, shopping, schools… you name it. I’d love to help.
