Suburban Comfort: Bethesda Colonial From the 1930’s

This three-story Bethesda home has a traditional vibe, with wainscoting, moldings, fireplaces, built-ins and a colonial facade. The master bedroom is huge, with an extra office area, but we liked the cool, window-ful addition on the side of the house that is currently being used as a family room and the back patio. The house is located in Westmorland Hills, just a couple blocks from the District line, offering suburban comforts fairly close to the city.

• Full Listing: 5229 Duvall Drive, Bethesda, MD (map)
• Price: $995,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1935
• Listing Agent: Hans Wydler, Long & Foster

Bedrooms Everywhere in This Mount Pleasant Home

Set back from the street above the street action in Mount Pleasant is this six-bedroom semi-detached home. It has more light than your average row house and a beautiful front yard with old, giant trees. Like the listing above, the listing has wainscoting and period details, but looks more modern with dark hardwood floors and a black and white patterned tile floor in the kitchen (not to mention a living room pool table, which does not convey). The layout puts four bedrooms in the main house and two in the lower level unit, which is ready to rent.

• Full Listing: 1801 Irving Street NW (map)
• Price: $990,000
• Bedrooms: Six
• Bathrooms: Four
• Year Built: 1915
• Listing Agent: Heather Davenport, Lindsay Reishman Real Estate
