Set in a quiet, established, tree-filled neighborhood, this brick-and-stone 1963 rambler oversees a well-maintained half-acre lot.

From a long driveway, a flagstone path leads past a large dogwood tree near the entrance of the home.

Inside, the slate-floored foyer opens to a large, luminous living room, which features a gas fireplace surrounded by stone, a great picture window looking to the front lawn, hardwood flooring and crown molding.

Adjacent is the dining room, which also has a hardwood floor and crown molding as well as chair rails, a brass chandelier with a decorative ceiling molding, and another picture window. Access here leads to a beautiful flagstone patio, which has a brick retaining wall on one side and offers views of the back lawn and mature trees.

At the back of the house, behind the two-car garage, is an immense sunroom or family room addition. The space offers a tall, pitched ceiling with exposed beams, a stone floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace with a large hearth, tall windows, sliding-door access to the patio, a slate floor, garage access, a ceiling fan, and crown molding.

The kitchen has updated cherrywood cabinetry and appliances, granite countertops, a stainless-steel refrigerator, a double sink and a gas range.

Downstairs, a finished basement offers new Berber carpeting and a huge recreation or second family room, complete with a wet bar, a full-size refrigerator, windows and a French-door walk-out access to a second patio, framed by brick arches and views of the back lawn.

Off the large rec area is a laundry room with a front-loading washer/ dryer, a stainless-steel sink and cabinets. A fourth bedroom or office has two closets and a full bath with a shower.

A large storage room has a cedar closet and could be used as a workshop or a craft area.

Upstairs, the bedroom wing has wall-to-wall carpeting. The second and third bedrooms share a hall bath that has a tub/shower combination and a retro feel.

The huge master bedroom at the back of the house, has room for a sitting area, and features a vaulted ceiling with recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and a tall bow window overlooking the back lawn. A large, walk-in closet has a skylight and stair access to the unfinished attic. The master bathroom has a large shower with a glass wall and door, and a high ceiling. The long vanity has bright lighting and two sinks.

This home is off Seven Locks Road, enabling easy access to Interstate 270, the Beltway, the Bethesda Country Club and Montgomery Mall.
