716 Chesapeake Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20910

This expanded Cape has plenty of light and space, all a short walk to shopping, restaurants and transportation AND owned solar panels! Head through the front gate through the mini “food-forest” garden featuring paw paws, persimmons, figs, currants, herbs and numerous native plants and flowers. There’s a beautiful front porch (added in 2013) with a beadboard ceiling and fan - a great spot to relax and enjoy the breeze. Inside, the living room has a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins. Off the living room is a sunroom with beadboard ceiling - perfect for a home office. There’s a formal dining room that connects to the kitchen which, in turn leads to a sunny family room with a beadboard ceiling, built-in benches, a pass-thru to kitchen, and a sliding door to the backyard. Two ample bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs is the 3rd bedroom with skylights that opens onto a lovely tree-top deck. The finished lower level has a flex space - making a great screening room for family movie nights, or extra space for guests. Insulation and acoustic tiles reduce the sound in the upper floors. There’s also a full bath/wet room, a bonus room, a laundry room, storage and an exit to the backyard. Out back are two sheds and additional garden space. The home has been freshly painted throughout and the original hardwoods have been refinished.
