Spacious, Sunny, and Exceptionally Versatile — Welcome Home! This beautifully updated home offers more than just comfort — it offers flexibility and space to grow. With three unique “anything spaces” beyond the traditional bedrooms and main living areas, everyone can carve out their own retreat. Whether you need a home office, yoga sanctuary, craft studio, or reading nook, you’ll have the room to make it yours. The heart of the home is the airy, sun-filled kitchen and den addition, perfect for cooking, gathering, and everyday family living. You'll love the floor-to-ceiling roll-out pantry, updated appliances, and enlarged windows that fill the home with natural light while maintaining energy efficiency. You will also love the large primary suite - on the main level! - that offers a peaceful escape with its walk-in closet and private en-suite bath. Step outside to a spacious deck overlooking a lush, fully fenced, private backyard oasis — ideal for al fresco dining, relaxing, or birdwatching (keep an eye out for hummingbirds in summer!). The extended, raised garden bed is ready for your vegetables, herbs, or flowers. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just half a block from Sligo Creek Parkway, offering miles of scenic trails to Wheaton Regional Park, Brookside Gardens, Takoma Park, and beyond. Enjoy car-free strolls, runs, or rides on the parkway three days a week when it’s closed to traffic. Practical features include a gated carport with a Level 2 EV charger, a well-maintained wood-burning fireplace, abundant basement storage with built-in shelving, fresh paint throughout, and gleaming hardwood floors on the main level, and the house is FIOS-ready. You're also just 1.5 miles from the Metro Red Line, close to bus routes, and minutes from the Beltway — making your commute a breeze. This home truly has it all — light, space, convenience, and character. Don’t miss your chance to make it yours!
Charming two bedroom house with master suite on main level. Fabulous entertaining addition to the house featuring a spacious kitchen, family room and large deck.
