Property Description
Amazing purchase opportunity. Rarely available 0.32 acre parcel comprising 2.5 lots in a prime Bethesda location. Value is in the land, with potential for 2 new homes, subject to subdivision and county approvals. Conveniently located near the National Institutes of Health, Walter Reed Medical Center, and Downtown Bethesda. Situated on a relatively quiet street with no through traffic and a turnaround loop at the end of the street, while still offering close proximity to Interstate 270 and the Capital Beltway. Just steps from the Bethesda Trolley Walking Trail, and a five minute walk to the YMCA. The property provides convenient access to major commuter routes, Metro, shopping, dining, and parks. A rare opportunity to acquire a sizable land parcel in one of Bethesda's most desirable locations. Since the home on the property is intended for demolition, there is no property disclosure disclaimer; see Exemption F. Showings and tours inside the home will not be permitted. Access to the home will be available only to a qualified buyer with an acceptable purchase agreement or letter of intent and proof of funds.
