Listing details for 7665 Macarthur Blvd, Cabin John, MD 20818 : Live in a perfect location blending small town charm and urban proximity! Ideally situated in the heart of the wonderful neighborhood of Cabin John, this oversized lot gives you so many options. You'll feel like you've moved out to a quiet, wooded countryside location with a strong sense of community, and yet central Bethesda is only a few minutes away, DC is just down the Clara Barton Parkway, and there is easy access to the Beltway to reach other MD and VA locations. Prefer to walk sometimes? Your home will be an easy stroll to the community shopping center featuring the iconic Bethesda Coop grocery store and restaurants including Wild Tomato and Fish Taco. For recreation, it's a quick stroll to the unique Level Fitness club loved by local residents, or head down to the C & O Canal towpath where you can jog along the peaceful Potomac River. And on weekends, this quiet section of Macarthur Blvd seems to have more bikes than cars! Elevated above street level, this is a gently sloping 2/3 acre parcel with open areas where you can either expand the original cottage-style home or perfectly site a substantial new house while still keeping some large trees. The current home (offered as-is) feels so charming with period design features, large screened porch, an updated kitchen and baths, and an extra bonus room on the upper level. There is ample yard space to create extensive patio and garden areas, including an outdoor kitchen and pool. In addition to the main home, you'll also have room to build a detached structure of up to 1,200 sq ft that can be used as a separate living area for family members or as an income-producing rental, both allowed under the new county ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) regulations. Or convert the existing two-car garage into a dwelling unit. There is also the possibility to subdivide the parcel into two buildable lots. There are so many options to customize the property to your needs, and lots this large in Cabin John don't become available often. Here's your opportunity to build or renovate to create a custom home in this convenient yet 'country' setting!
