Preview of 5504 Kirkwood Drive MC7229578- Bethesda Real Estate in Springfield

I personally preview every listing in this area so that when buyers are looking for homes with certain features I know right away what might work well for them.   Because I see so many of the listings in the area I can also help sellers understand why one home might have commanded more than another.  While we can look at many, many pictures of homes on line there is nothing like being physically present in a house to understand how it will work as someone’s home.

If you would like me to put my neighborhood expertise and experience to work for you, contact me!


Bethesda Real Estate - Homes for sale in Bethesda

5504 Kirkwood Drive – $875,000

MC7229578

Located in the Springfield neighborhood of Bethesda, this house has been on the market for just a couple of weeks and I’ve shown it once and previewed it as well.  It’s always funny to go into models I’ve sold in the past in other subdivisions – this same house is over on Millwood also.  The same developers worked all over the area back in the day these were built.  It’s priced well considering that other splits have sold for over $900K.

It’s a solid, well built 1957 split level with four bedrooms on the top level and another that could be used as bedroom or den on the lower level.  All are a good size and with the split of two on one side of the house and two on the other it offers a nice way to get a little space between kids and parents or guests. 

Bathrooms are "retro" but they are in good shape and I’m sure will be on the list of any new buyer to update.  The kitchen is somewhat updated, at least not the original, and has a nice little eat in nook.  Dining room and living room are on the main level and as with most of these splits the living room is a great size.  The lower level is a bright room that walks out to the back yard and has plenty of natural daylight.  Yet another level below is perfect for extra storage, a work area or finish it off to make it more usable space.  Storage is also handled by the walk in attic on the upper level.  What a bonus!

The back yard is super!  Lots of space and a great patio area – it’s perfect for playing and entertaining.  Kirkwood is a great street and this house is well situated on the lot.  The garage allows for parking a vehicle indoors as well as plenty of on street parking should you need it as well. 

Springfield homes for sale are close to everything, have highly regarded schools and have a mix of old and new homes that we are seeing in all the close in suburbs.  Many people simply renovate extensively to stay in what they consider to be one of the best neighborhoods around! Springfield Bethesda real estate offers good long term value.

 

 

 

If you are interested in what kind of offer to make for this home, contact me and we can discuss the comps and what price is supported by the recent sales and the current condition of the home. 

I focus my work extensively in this area of Bethesda so I’ve developed a lot of expertise in the home values in Bethesda, neighborhoods, school systems and local amenities.
