8601 Manchester Rd APT 313, Silver Spring, MD 20901

If you want to be close to the Metro, and buses, and be able to walk a block to a park with miles of hiking/biking trails then this comfortable condominium fits your needs! Located in the 97-unit Park Bradford, the condo is located in a mid-rise solid brick and masonry building built in 1958 to old-school solid build standards when things were made to last. The Mid-Century design allows for large windows in Unit 313 that have been upgraded to double pane. Step inside this bright south-facing condo and be impressed by the shiny wood-style floors in the living/dining area and the fully renovated and opened-up kitchen with maple cabinets and spacious granite countertops that includes a breakfast bar. There's a built-in microwave, disposal, and dishwasher here too. It has plenty of cabinet storage, gas cooking, and stainless appliances. The open counters allow for casual eating at the breakfast bar and easy entertaining with friends and family. With 696 square feet of interior space (per public record), this is a generous-sized one-bedroom unit. As well as the kitchen remodel, the bathroom has been updated and has a separate linen closet. In the bedroom, a fully mirrored wide closet brightens the room, and brand new carpet is being installed there. Heat and central air conditioning are central so taken care of by the association. The condo fee of $638.40 per month includes ALL utilities: heat, hot water, cooling, and water sewer. What's not to like about having a walk-in storage closet on the main level 1 of the building - it can hold a lot of suitcases and holiday decorations and keep your unit uncluttered. Verizon FIOS internet service is available and already installed in the condo - you just need to set up the account. There's a convenient laundry room on each occupied level of the building as well as a trash/recycling room. Unit 313 is just steps from the elevator and if you enter from the rear parking lot (space 83 is assigned to this unit), you are only 7 steps up from the entrance level if you want to bypass the elevator. There are guest parking spaces in the rear of the parking lot, while street parking is usually often available. Pets are allowed in the condo including dogs and cats, and there is green space around the building, and you are just a block from Sligo Creek Park with miles of trails in both directions for walking and biking; connecting with nature is readily available. A secure building intercom can be directed to your cell phone to open the security door for visitors. The Ride-On bus comes down Manchester Road for easy connection to shopping and Metro stations, while a future Purple Line Station is under construction a short stroll from the condo and will link to Bethesda, via Silver Spring downtown and New Carrollton, via the University of Maryland. It's a short ride to downtown Silver Spring with Whole Foods, lots of dining, concert halls, and outdoor entertainment. The condo is just 1.7 miles from Silver Spring Metro Station with w/direct bus access and to the MARC commuter train station. Easy access to the Beltway via Colesville Road/Rt. 29 & New Hampshire Avenue. The condo meets Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac's low downpayment loan requirements with a low investor ratio and low late payment history. Great news for first-time owner occupants is there is a Grant of up to $10,000 is available to qualified buyers. It is also approved for VA financing and FHA loans are available with our Preferred Lender (contact agent for details). Renting is allowed at the Park-Bradford. There's an onsite manager for the condo that makes it easy to get a fast resolution to most issues, instead of dealing with a management office miles away. Affordable and convenient to transportation and park with off-street parking, all located in a solid building - it's a natural fit for move-up and move-down buyers - hurry over!
