Cottage charm, surprisingly generous proportions, and nearly 1,800 square feet of beautifully updated one-level living-9129 Walden Road is much more than meets the eye. Set beneath a canopy of mature trees on a remarkably level, .29-acre lot, its light exterior, soft green accents, and welcoming front stone patio create an enchanting first impression. Step inside and the home opens into unexpectedly spacious, beautifully refreshed interiors where classic character and thoughtful updates come together. New and refinished oak floors carry you through generous room sizes, while new windows frame views of the surrounding greenery throughout the home. Nowhere is that connection more inviting than in the renovated kitchen, where windows look directly into the expansive backyard and make the outdoors part of the room. New cabinetry, countertops, and appliances create a fresh, functional space, while easy access to the rear stone patio and level yard makes outdoor living a natural extension of everyday life. The home's circular floor plan adds to that easy, intuitive flow, connecting the living spaces naturally from room to room—equally suited to everyday life and a house full of friends. A separate dining room offers plenty of space to gather, while the inviting living room and wood-burning fireplace add warmth and character. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and an additional bonus room/office are all located on the main level, creating exceptional flexibility for the way you want to live. With nearly all of the home's finished living space on one level—and a remarkably level lot outside—everyday living here can be refreshingly uncomplicated. And then there's the yard. Nearly a third of an acre of level, fully fenced lawn unfolds behind the house, framed by mature trees and established garden beds. Stone patios in both the front and rear create inviting places to enjoy the outdoors—from morning coffee beneath the trees to dinner overlooking the backyard. Garden, play, entertain, let the dog run, or simply find a shady spot to spend an afternoon. Beautiful from inside the house and even better once you're in it, this is a yard meant to actually be lived in. Downstairs, an exceptionally clean 1,488-square-foot unfinished lower level provides laundry, tremendous storage, and abundant possibilities for a workshop, exercise space, hobbies, or future finishing. A two-car driveway adds everyday convenience. The location adds another layer to the story. Located in the Montgomery Blair High School cluster, the home is less than two miles from Downtown Silver Spring and all its restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and amenities. Woodmoor Shopping Center is just over a mile away, with Trader Joe's just over two miles from home. Even closer, the home is approximately .6 mile from both the Manchester Place and Arliss/Long Branch Purple Line stations, adding exciting future transit options to an already convenient location. ***NEW WINDOWS***NEW LIGHT FIXTURES***NEW KITCHEN***NEW APPLIANCES***NEW & REFINISHED OAK FLOORS***NEW ELECTRIC PANEL***FRESH PAINT***RECENT BATHS 2022
