Property Description

Some houses simply feel like “home” the moment you arrive, and 5006 Nahant St. is one of them. Tucked along one of Sumner’s most beloved blocks, this classic Colonial welcomes you with a charming front porch and gracious foyer that set the tone for the rest of the house—warm, inviting, and thoughtfully cared for. The main level flows effortlessly from the light-filled living room with its wood-burning fireplace to the elegant dining room overlooking the rear garden, making it just as comfortable for quiet evenings in as it is for hosting a crowd. The heart of the home is the vaulted-ceiling family room, flooded with sunlight and framed by French doors that open to the patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living. The expanded kitchen, open to the family room, offers plenty of workspace and makes it easy to stay connected with everyone while cooking. A private main-level office with its own powder room gives you a quiet place to work from home, while the three-sided screened porch invites you to slow down and enjoy peaceful garden views in every season. Upstairs, the home shifts into a calm, private retreat. The generous primary suite feels like its own haven, with a separate sitting area perfect for reading or unwinding at the end of the day, abundant closet space, and a full en-suite bath. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a hall bath with a classic cast-iron tub provide plenty of room for family, guests, or flexible use. Downstairs, the large recreation room—with a second wood-burning fireplace—offers a cozy spot for movie nights, game days, or play space, complemented by a spacious laundry room with ample storage, a half bath, and an attached one-car garage with interior access that makes everyday coming and going a breeze. Outside, the fully fenced rear garden and patio feel remarkably private, wrapped in mature landscaping and established plantings that give the yard a sense of depth and character. Life on Nahant Street also means having some of Bethesda’s best amenities at your doorstep. You’re just one block from the Capital Crescent Trail, where morning walks, stroller strolls, or bike rides can take you easily to Bethesda Row or even all the way to Georgetown. Little Falls Stream Valley Park is nearby for leafy escapes, and Norman’s Farm Market—open seasonally just a couple of blocks away—puts fresh, local produce within easy reach. Westbard Square offers everyday conveniences like Giant, Tatte, Silver & Sons BBQ, Starbucks, and Piccoli Piatti, while Sumner Village shops and downtown Bethesda and Friendship Heights add even more options for dining, shopping, and errands. With easy commuting on Massachusetts Avenue and a quiet, neighborly feel, 5006 Nahant St. offers not just a beautiful house, but a lifestyle that balances convenience, community, and comfort.
