What a great opportunity to live in the heart of Silver Spring! This gorgeous brick colonial has been meticulously maintained and boasts upgrades left and right, like the American hardwood cherry floors, recessed lighting, and built-in recessed speakers throughout. As you enter the house you will be greeted by a light-filled living space with a wood-burning fireplace that steps up to to a separate dining room with a chair rail. The dining room overlooks the backyard and 2-year-old deck, and opens to the large kitchen. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is truly a chef's delight with custom cabinetry with built-in organizers, a spacious island with bar seating, a 6-burner Viking range, wine refrigerator, chef's prep sink with touch faucet, and an abundance of counter space. Also on the main level is a bedroom with a large powder room, perfect for guests or for a home office space. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, 1 updated full bathroom, and a second story patio, providing even more private outdoor space. There is even more storage potential with the linen closet and pull-down attic. The finished basement has a separate laundry room with storage, access to the garage, and a spacious living area with a full bathroom. The large, fenced-in backyard backs to Sligo Creek and is your private oasis, despite being located in a prime location. Just within walking distance to DC buses, a short drive to several metro stations, and convenient access to DC via Route 29 (Colesville Rd), Virginia via 495, and to Baltimore via I-95, getting around is a cinch. Recent improvements include windows, roof, and front door replaced in 2015 and the deck added in 2018. Truly a gorgeous abode, 1511 Forest Glen Rd won't last long!
