Nestled on a leafy corner lot in the heart of Westgate, this picture-perfect 4BR / 3BA rambler offers a rare blend: renovated, low-maintenance living with just the right amount of indoor-outdoor space — all in a location that puts you close to everything, and still feels like home. Once you step through the picket fence and approach the front walk, it’s clear that every inch of this home was refreshed with intention. Fixtures, finishes, lighting, and layout -- all thoughtfully updated by an award-winning designer to offer a clean, contemporary backdrop for everyday living. The open-concept living and dining space is filled with natural light and grounded by a classic wood-burning fireplace with wood mantle. The layout flows seamlessly into a sleek, HGTV-worthy kitchen with access to the back garden, driveway, and lower level. Quartz counters and backsplash, new stainless appliances, under-cabinet lighting makes this space ideal for casual hosting and quiet morning coffee alike. The main level features gleaming hardwood floors, contemporary moldings, new recessed lighting, and three sunlit bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a spa-like bath. Designed with care and an eye for lasting style, each bathroom features its own distinct tile and tone. The hall bath makes a bold statement with deep navy tile, a warm wood vanity, and statement lighting, all grounded by natural light from the window. The primary en suite bath offers a serene palette of creamy tones with metallic accents, a dual vanity, and thoughtfully selected finishes that feel both elegant and calming. Each of the three bedrooms is bright and well-sized, with custom closets that make smart use of space while enhancing the room’s design. The lower level? Bigger than expected — and full of smart utility. A separate entrance from the drive leads to a mudroom with coat closet, built-in cubbies, and a wide-open drop zone for jackets, backpacks, muddy shoes, and sports gear. A total win for keeping life organized and moving. The large rec room offers space for everything: movies, crafts, a play zone, lounge space, or working out. There’s a bright fourth bedroom (perfect for guests or a quiet home office), another renovated full bath by a designer with an eye for mood and materials (that tile -- wow!), and an oversized storage room with room to build-out if you want even more. And here’s the real kicker: the oversized corner lot is surprisingly serene yet connected to the neighborhood. This home gives you space and potential. Think future screened porch, a front addition, or even a second story — this home’s footprint is ready for your vision. Detached garage, private drive, oversized flat fenced yard, and an unbeatable location. Westbrook Elementary, Westland Middle, and B-CC High School serve the neighborhood. You’re minutes to Spring Valley (hello, Crate & Barrel and Millie’s), Metro and shops of Friendship Heights, the new Westbard Square, and the Capital Crescent Trail. Quick access to Downtown Bethesda, Walter Reed, NIH, and major commuter routes makes life here not just beautiful, but easy. 5018 Rodman Road, Bethesda is that rare find: solid integrity, modern design, and space that grows with you, all in the "Westbrook Neighborhood."

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
