Property Description
Like a full-scale model of a favorite storybook cottage, this handsome Westbrook Neighborhood home charms the moment you arrive, standing proudly and peacefully, wrapped in gardens and anchored by warmth. Expanded with an artist's eye and a craftsman's precision, a seamless addition creates a main-floor bedroom suite, family room, and more bedrooms upstairs, expanding the original footprint without losing a drop of character. The warm entry foyer includes diamond-pane casement windows that evoke classic artistry, and chestnut millwork with a deep, welcoming patina that feels both elegant and earthy. The living room is expansive and gracious, centered on a wood-burning fireplace and a bay window that welcomes in soft light and leafy views. The kitchen spans the back of the home, big enough for a table, and easy access to the patios and garden. With a playful spirit, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, warm wood cabinets, an art-inspired backsplash that shows the space is ready for pancakes, pizza nights, or a pot of tea. The main level includes a formal dining room, the oversized family room with built-ins and access to the patio. The thoughtful addition of a beautifully updated bedroom with en suite bath means its truly a home for all ages: main-floor bedroom, home office, or formal den. Upstairs, the allure continues with a second primary en suite bedroom, two additional bedrooms, a finished dormer office nook, a playroom, and another full bath. And the lower level? Surprises in the best way - a spacious rec room with fireplace, laundry area, and ample storage. There's also a flexible bonus space that was previously used as a guest room with rough-ins for a full bath still in place and ready for easy restoration. 5142 Worthington Drive is a quiet choreography of structure and setting. Not one inch of is wasted as it's positioned with care, blending into the landscape with patios and a deck, along with a welcoming expanse of grassy lawn. It's a rare blend of character and practicality, grace and function. Located in the heart of Westgate -- a neighborhood celebrated for its tree-lined calm and city-right convenience -- this home offers more than just a place to live. Enjoy walkability to favorites like Millie's, Bluestone Lane, Wagshal's, and Compass Coffee, with Crate & Barrel and Whole Foods just a mile away. Beloved for its Fourth of July and Halloween parades, Westgate (or "Westbrook Neighborhood," as some call it) feeds into Westbrook Elementary, Westland Middle, and B-CC High. It's also in-bounds for Little Falls Swimming Club. With easy access to Metro, downtown Bethesda, Tenleytown, and Friendship Heights, this is suburban living with an urban pulse.
