Upper Harwick Rd. has long been recognized as one of Wood Acres finest streets. Its quiet, flat, just a block to the Park and elementary school; its the kind of idyllic setting that seems right out of a Norman Rockwell painting! (ask the agent to look at the video of Harwick Rd. being built in 1939!)
Surrounded by tall trees and mature landscaping, this classic red brick Wood Acres colonial residence has a striking, gorgeous flat rear yard. The home has recently been painted completely inside. The hardwood flooring has been refinished. New carpet has been installed in the den and the recreation room. The kitchen has been updated.
Wood Acres Park was recently renovated and enhanced. The family can walk across the Park to completely rebuilt Woodacres Elementary as well. . The school district of Walt Whitman High School and Thomas Pyle Middle School is one of the most sought after in the nation. Enjoy!
A FEW WORDS ABOUT WOOD ACRES. Albert Walkers Wood Acres Construction Company from 1940 through the late 1950s built this harmonious collection of 400 homes. Every original Wood Acres home is a colonial, built with brick, plaster walls, hardwood flooring, and the care and pride of an era gone by. The rolling terrain and the magnificent trees provide for a setting that is the equal of any community in Bethesda. But the community is more than brick and mortar. This is a community where people really do know their neighbors, where an intense pride in being part of a community exists. The homes are meticulously cared for and have weathered the decades gracefully.
Community life is enhanced through the efforts of the Wood Acres Citizens Association. This community organization has been in continual service since the inception of the community 61 years ago. Wood Acres sponsors a fabulous 4th of July celebration each year, featuring home made floats, decorated bicycles and fire engines. Its a scene right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Thousands attend and while the event is specifically staged for the benefit of the community, we usually attract hundreds of past Wood Acres residents who have never really left the community
in their hearts. At Halloween and the Holiday season the children are visited by the Great Pumpkin and Santa, a Spring House Tour is held occasionally and a newcomers party each year gives us a chance to meet our new neighbors. This particular block of Ramsgate Rd. has a block party every year affording an opportunity for neighbors to visit and share their lives.
