Set on one of the quietest and most picturesque streets in Somerset, just minutes from Friendship Heights, downtown Bethesda, shopping, and dining, welcome to this expanded Cape Cod home. Life in Somerset offers a rare “neighborhood-within-a-neighborhood” feel, with its beloved elementary school, Town Hall, pool and tennis courts, and an active town spirit that creates a true sense of connection. 4702 Essex Avenue is a whimsical and functional home. No cookie cutter layout here! With approximately 3,800 square feet across three finished levels, the home provides exceptional flexibility with six bedrooms, generous living spaces, a main-level primary suite, dedicated study, recreation room, and full au pair or in-law suite in the lower level. Walking up the graduated stone walkway, flowers and plantings set the stage. The main level is especially adaptable, with multiple bedrooms and gathering spaces that can easily shift with changing needs. Its floorplan includes a formal living room with fireplace and oversized windows, as well as a separate study with built-ins. The expanded kitchen with island and table space connects seamlessly with the formal dining room and family room. Easy access to the deck and leafy backyard creates an easy connection between indoors and out. The main-level bedroom wing includes an en suite primary suite, plus two oversized bedrooms with a shared bath. Another bathroom on this level serves guests and visitors easily. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer privacy, while the cedar-lined walk-in closet provides more storage. The lower level offers more than 900 square feet with laundry, bedroom, bath, recreation room, and a separate exterior exit. The yard and gardens are deep, with enough space to expand the home, build a pool, or just enjoy watching the fireflies from your deck. Move right in and enjoy the house as it is, or personalize and maximize it over time. Somerset is known for its tree-lined streets, resident pool and tennis courts, strong sense of community and close-in convenience. Somerset, Westland, and Bethesda-Chevy Chase public schools serve the neighborhood, with multiple private schools nearby. Located just steps to Somerset Pool, the Capital Crescent Trail, Metro, downtown Bethesda, and more, it’s an ideal location in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Welcome home.
