As you step inside, you're welcomed by an open concept living and dining area, where dark hardwood floors stretch out beneath your feet and sunlight pours through large windows, enhancing the natural charm of the room and inviting you further in. The kitchen is a true centerpiece for entertaining friends and family, finished with sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in banquette and dining area. Just off the kitchen, the family room offers both comfort and style with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a striking fireplace that serves as the heart of the space, drawing people together on cozy evenings. Step through the back to a newly built wooden deck, spacious enough for a grill and seating, and enjoy tranquil views of the gently sloped backyard. The view from the kitchen banquette captures it all—lush greenery, a charming custom-built playhouse painted to match the main house, and a large fire pit for gathering friends under the stars. It's a place perfectly suited for those who crave both quiet nights outdoors and lively backyard cookouts. Upstairs, the dark hardwood floors continue to flow, connecting four beautifully sized bedrooms, each bathed in natural light. In the basement, you’ll find a spacious area designed for entertaining guests, a full additional bathroom, and ample storage, offering flexibility and function in equal measure. Perfectly positioned to enjoy all the neighborhood has to offer. Just a short walk from Sligo Creek Elementary, with its leading French immersion program, downtown Silver Spring, and Ellsworth Park with its playground, tennis courts, and dog park. The nearby Sligo Creek Trail offers endless opportunities for biking, walking, and family adventures, leading you to Sligo Golf Course and its beloved Friday Night Summer Concert Series. Zinnia, a cherished neighborhood spot, is just steps away—perfect for a morning coffee, an afternoon beer, or a cozy dinner.
This home features impressive renovations, including an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area that seamlessly integrates for modern living. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy sitting room with a fireplace, leading out to a platform deck and...
firepit in the backyard—perfect for relaxation. All bedrooms are conveniently located upstairs, ensuring privacy and separation from the household utilities and laundry room situated in the basement without egress.
