Property Description
Nestled close to downtown Silver Spring, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath classic brick Colonial offers an extraordinary garden that will captivate both novice and experienced gardeners alike. In ground lighting, loose laid stone terraces, meandering pathways, a stone patio edged with dwarf juniper, and a brick patio with a tranquil wall fountain create the perfect setting for putting your feet up and decompressing, alfresco meals or throwing a big party. This is a serene oasis you will want to experience everyday!. Inside, the home features beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels. The spacious living room is anchored by a warm, wood-burning fireplace. The dining room opens through sliding glass doors to panoramic views of the fabulous garden. The kitchen offers a breakfast bar with a view of the large Japanese cedar tree, and flows seamlessly into the dining room. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath. The spacious primary bedroom, which has a large closet, offers views of the front garden with its grand magnolia that blossoms with hundreds of flowers every Spring. Both of the other two bedrooms offer great views into the garden as well. The finished lower level offers a full bath and a large room with closet, ideal for guests, a home office, or workout room. The lower level has access to the attached garage. The very large closet with double sliding doors which occupies one wall of the adjacent space substantially increases the storage space available in the home. And there's still room left over to use as a comfortable space for watching movies or listening to music. Completing the property are a one-car attached garage and additional off-street driveway parking. Ideally located just moments from Downtown Silver Spring, you'll enjoy easy access to restaurants, theaters including the AFI, shopping, Metro Red Line, and the new Purple Line stop at the state-of-the-art library. Walk to Downtown Silver Spring's music festivals, a weekly farmers market, Koiner Urban Farm and the scenic trails and green spaces of Sligo Creek Park as well as Nolte and Bullis Local Parks. Nearby is also the recently opened county rec center with gym and pool. Very convenient commuter location. Freshly painted and ready to go!
