Welcome to 20 Melbourne Avenue, located in a quiet neighborhood, mere minutes from downtown Silver Spring! This classic brick Cape Cod has been tastefully renovated to highlight the historic charm while introducing modern finishes. From the front, an expansive lawn, beautiful landscaping and charming window flower boxes welcome you home. The front door opens to a bright living room with an attached dining room and modern kitchen. Quartz countertops, brand new stainless steel appliances are surrounded by charcoal and white cabinetry with under cabinet lighting and matte gold accents. Throughout the home, gorgeous refinished original floors shine in the natural light. On the right side of the main level you will find two spacious bedrooms and a renovated full bathroom featuring subway tile, Kohler fixtures, and beautiful tile flooring. Upstairs a spacious owners’ suite awaits with a nook for a home office, fantastic walk-in closet, recessed lighting, massive tiled walk-in shower, and a floating vanity. This level has multiple storage spaces meaning clutter will be out of sight! The lower level features a brand new living space, a third renovated full bathroom, bedroom or home office, laundry, a large storage closet and a wet bar with granite counters, sink and a wine refrigerator - perfect for entertaining. A large screened porch on the left of the house offers a delightful space to enjoy a quiet glass of wine with a good book and the newly installed rear patio is perfect for grilling and lounging under the trees. The huge side yard provides ample space to stretch out, play frisbee with the kids and dog, or create your own vegetable garden. 20 Melbourne Avenue is situated in the Highland View neighborhood of Silver Spring. It’s a quick ride to Whole Foods and other amenities of downtown Silver Spring including countless restaurants, AFI Theater, The Fillmore, Ice Skating Rink, the Farmer’s Market and so much more. Sligo Creek and its multiple walking and biking paths allow you to escape to your own natural paradise. Multiple bus lines and close proximity to Metro Red Line and the Beltway make getting around a breeze. Come see this charmer today before it’s gone! * The lot includes the side yard (all the way to Eton Rd. ), but does not include the lot behind the house. The owner is currently getting estimates to install a privacy fence behind the house. The house square footage is estimated.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
