Also is that a step down between the kitchen and family room? No thank you - so dangerous. 3 different styles of hardware in the kitchen, and ugly tiled floors. Cheap looking fridge too.
The juxtaposition of at least three kinds of windows, windows tiles, panes and mullions is dizzying, especially when they clash all in one spot!
Furthermore, built in table seats are terribly uncomfortable. No one will want to sit there.

Agreed. This house looks like it was updated by someone who actually lives there - lovingly done, though slightly dated. Very different than the listing in the OP.

How in the world was this home sold for $1.75M in 2002 and 18 years later sold again for only $1.15M? How did this sell for $600K below the 2002 price? Also, that was a really, really high sales for 2002!

I had the same reaction. Please OP, give us a break. And update the listing with a floor plan. The photos don't give any sense of the flow of the living spaces and it's not obvious that there are 4 distinct upstairs bedrooms. And do some grading along with the landscaping, OP. Photo 29 looks like a flood waiting to happen.
Between the flowery wording in the listing that matches the same flowery wording in the OP I agree the agent is trying to promote this overpriced house. Shameful.
There are interior designers who are able to blend traditional houses with a modern aesthetic and make it work. Too bad these people didn’t utilize one.
As for the bathroom with the brass double mirrors: it evokes the set of Star Trek to me.

House looks abandoned from the outside, or maybe a widower lives there and only orders delivery.

If anyone has wandered down Hampden Lane in Greenwich Forrest you know how special this street is. Every house is unique, charming, surrounded by the largest trees in probably a mile radius, and I always feel like I am walking through a fairytale land or at least in Europe. There is no new build on site because of the historic designation. I have always wondered what the houses looked like on the inside. So rarely do these properties come on the market so it was a delight to see this one. It’s much over my budget but wanted to share as so rarely do houses on this street come to market.I am sure that it isn’t to the taste of many with this much to spend but it’s more fun to share houses like this than a more common new build.

I love this neighborhood…not this particular house…but love the neighborhood and the street. There is a white brick cape cod with a red door that is my dream house from the outside.

+1 The outside is nice and I’m sure it looks a million times better in spring/summer. But I don’t much care for any of the interior.
Agree with this. I like the shower with the penny hex tiles, and that’s it.

Love the exterior, but the interior doesn't go well with it at all.

Who cares and why does that matter? This is about the house.
Maybe a potential buyer who is black would like to know whether their family would feel comfortable there? Or a family of any race that values diversity is interested in the house? Yokes, PP, its not at all hard to understand why this is relevant to potential buyers if you have been paying attention to life in America over the last 400 years.
Shrugs. Not my issue. There's no shortage of buyers wanting a nice house in Bethesda.
