About this home
Welcome to 240 Whitmoor Terrace, a charming 1946 Colonial in Silver Spring's sought-after Woodmoor neighborhood, thoughtfully renovated top to bottom while keeping its classic character. Three bedrooms, two full baths, a finished walkout lower level, and two deeded parcels totaling 15,760 sq ft add up to a rare mix of turnkey comfort, privacy, and room to grow. Step inside to a bright living room, where hand-refinished vintage hardwood floors and a restored wood-burning fireplace, with new chimney cap, liner, and flue and tested to be fully functional, make a warm spot to unwind on cooler evenings. Tall replacement windows fill the main level with natural light, complemented by recessed lighting throughout for a warm glow after dark. The living area flows into the fully renovated kitchen, where new cabinets, quartz countertops, backsplash, ceramic tile flooring, an island with a built-in outlet, and brand-new stainless steel appliances make everyday cooking a pleasure. The air-fryer range is ready for the future, too, with an existing gas line available for conversion. Upstairs, the fully renovated bathroom pairs the original tub, beautifully reglazed, with a new vanity, toilet, and tiled floor. The renovation wasn't just cosmetic. It went beyond the surface to the systems buyers of vintage homes usually inherit as problems: full electrical rewiring with an oversized panel ready to support a future addition, whole-house PEX plumbing, and hardwired interconnected smoke alarms with battery backup. Add leveled and reinforced kitchen and bath floors, a new AC system and water heater (2023), a recently inspected architectural shingle roof with about 15 years of remaining life, and south and west yards regraded to direct water away from the foundation, and you can move in and simply enjoy. Downstairs, the finished walkout lower level is a true bonus space, with a kitchenette, a new full bath with walk-in shower, a laundry area with a new washer and dryer, and ample storage. Make it a family room, home office, guest suite, gym, or studio, whatever suits your life. Outside, a freshly rebuilt, maintenance-free Trex front deck overlooks newly landscaped grounds with fruit-bearing cherry and crabapple trees, a magnolia, and butterfly and herb gardens. The true showstopper is the backyard, where a level lawn descends by brick steps into your own private wooded ravine and stream bank, a natural screen from the homes beyond. The stream is part of the Anacostia River watershed, a wildlife corridor that brings birdsong to the backyard, and nearby Northwest Branch trails lead north into wooded hiking and south through parkland and a river walk to D. C. Tucked in a quiet area of Woodmoor away from road noise, it's a private retreat for outdoor entertaining and quiet evenings. Architectural concept plans for a three-story addition show how the house can expand while still leaving room for a backyard. Living in Woodmoor means being part of a vibrant community. The Woodmoor Citizens Association hosts traditions like the Christmas tree and menorah lighting, the Fourth of July parade, Oktoberfest, garden events, lively Halloweens, and the much-loved Woodmoorstock music festival. Pine Crest Elementary is within the neighborhood, and Eastern Middle and Montgomery Blair High sit on its edge, all within walking distance (buyer to verify school assignment). You're minutes from Pinecrest Park, the Woodmoor Shopping Center, and downtown Silver Spring, with multiple bus stops nearby and easy commuter access to D. C. With no HOA fees and ample on-street parking, this home offers comfort, flexibility, and room to grow, a rare find in Woodmoor. Flexible settlement available. Lower level offers open space ideal for a home office or two. Architectural plans for a full-size addition available upon request.
Woodmoor, located between University Boulevard and Colesville Road, is a residential and wooded Four Corners neighborhood with curving streets and mid-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Four Corners intersection at University Blvd and Colesville Rd, where independent eateries, small storefronts, and steady commuter energy set the tone. Nearby pillars include Quarry House Tavern, the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, and Denizens Brewing Co. Sidewalks trace rolling terrain and mature tree canopy, with pocket parks and stream-valley greenways shaping daily routines. Architecture leans toward brick ramblers, split-levels, and well-kept colonials on generous lots. A short drive connects to downtown Silver Spring’s arts venues and dining corridors without changing the quiet, leafy feel at home.
