Demand for a five-bedroom Bethesda home with asbestos in the basement and more than $100,000 of repair work needed has never been so high.

Most residents of Bethesda’s Hillmead neighborhood want the home torn down to increase green space in the local park where it sits. Some countyofficials, however, want it renovated for use by the homeless or people with disabilities. Montgomery Council members will vote on the matter next Tuesday.
