Listing details

A cherished mid century Cape Cod, 5420 York Lane is a rare offering in Bethesda’s coveted Battery Park neighborhood. Set on a hilltop along one of the area’s quietest, tree lined streets, this traditional brick home has been lovingly maintained by only its second owner since it was built. Thoughtfully improved over more than three decades, the home retains its authentic mid century character while offering exceptional condition and comfortable living. A classic front lawn framed by mature trees and evergreen shrubs leads to a welcoming porch finished in Brazilian hardwood. Inside, the main level offers beautifully connected living spaces, including a front living room with brick fireplace and bay window, a spacious light filled family room overlooking the rear garden, and a gracious dining room with a gas fireplace and access to a brick patio. Extensive built in bookshelves add warmth and character throughout. The centrally located renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry and updated fixtures. Two generously sized bedrooms and a classic mid century full bath complete the main level. One bedroom opens to a covered patio overlooking the private Zen garden. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms with charming dormer windows and a full bath create a comfortable story and a half floor plan. The expansive lower level offers 1,118 square feet with 7’2” ceilings, laundry, a 1/4 bathroom, utility sink, abundant storage, and flexible space currently used as an artist’s studio and home gym. The home truly connects to its garden, with a romantic brick patio and private landscaped grounds featuring flowering and evergreen shrubs, fruiting trees, raised beds, brick steps, and a covered wood deck. Just one mile from downtown Bethesda and moments from Bethesda Row, Metro, premier shopping, dining, and area hospitals, 5420 York Lane offers a rare combination of character, privacy, and convenience.
