    What's special

    Charming and updated 1800+ sq ft Cape Cod on an incredible, green, quarter-acre lot in prime Silver Spring location that is right on the border of Takoma Park and convenient to all that both have to offer! This one is special. You are greeted by lush landscaping and the lovely front porch swing. Step inside to find an open main level with hardwood floors, high ceilings, great natural light, a large dining room, a cozy living room, the first of three bedrooms, the first of three full bathrooms, and the country kitchen of your dreams with butcher block counters and island, stainless steel appliances, and a sunny bay window looking out onto the private back yard and garden. The primary suite features an updated bathroom with a large, tiled shower stall as well as a walk-in closet or flex space that could be used as a nursery or office as well. The lower level offers yet another bedroom suite with another full bathroom, kitchenette, and additional rec room/family room, as well as the laundry and storage room. In back you can enjoy the garden, brick patio, incredible bird watching, a large shed that offers additional possibilities, and the privacy of your own quarter acre with barely another home in sight. There is off-street parking for 2-3 cars in the driveway as well. Recent improvements to the home include new windows, new energy-efficient AC and heat pump, a new gas range for the kitchen, and fresh paint throughout much of the house. And all of this is in a magical little sliver of Silver Spring that many people seek out thanks to its great proximity to downtown Silver Spring, quick access to DC, plus the feel of Takoma Park but without the Takoma Park taxes! Convenient to the many wonderful parks, restaurants, coffee shops, playgrounds, farmers markets, grocery stores, and Metro stops that both Takoma Park and downtown Silver Spring offer, and in bounds for sought-after Takoma Park MS and Blair HS. Your search has ended! Welcome home.
