5620 WOOD WAY Bethesda, MD 20816

This enchanting home, nestled on a tree-lined street at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Sumner neighborhood of Bethesda, is one you truly must see to appreciate.

Warm, cozy and inviting, yet spacious and dynamic, with many interesting details ... wood beams, interior brick, skylights and more.
