5306 Marlyn Drive

The friendly neighborhood of Glen Mar Park presents to you, one of its classic brick colonials. Offering two stylishly updated bathrooms upstairs (gutted and renovated in 2015 including new copper pipes to the basement) with three bedrooms, plus a den/bedroom with a full bath on the main level (new toilet last year), and a half bath in the basement, this welcoming home will warm your heart. There is a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, kitchen and a bright, cheerful family room that completes the main level. The windows are double pane replacement windows. The large flagstone patio in back is perfect for relaxation or entertaining.

The full basement is unfinished but benefits from the extra storage space created by the basement under the family room addition. The lower level also includes the one-car garage.

People love this part of Bethesda along Massachusetts Avenue and Glen Mark Park as a community. The neighborhood park is a two minute walk up the street and the larger Wood Acres Park is less than a mile away. Close also is the Capital Crescent Trail and the bus stop is a block away. The commute into DC is an easy one and all of the activity and services of thriving downtown Bethesda are a short ride from here. The development of Westbard Square is well underway and when completed, homes nearby like this one, will undoubtedly see a boost in value. The high school is Walt Whitman. I rest my case.
