Don’t miss this charming all brick Cape Cod in the heart of Silver Spring! The main level welcomes you with a bright living room warmed by a wood burning fireplace and intricate crown molding, flowing into the dining room with custom built-in shelving. The vibrant, sun filled kitchen features white cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and Saltillo tile flooring, with a door leading directly out onto a deck and into the fenced backyard. The main level also offers two bedrooms with hardwood floors and ceiling fans, while the finished attic level adds a versatile bonus room, ideal for a home office, guest space, or playroom. The unfinished lower level offers abundant storage and the potential to create additional finished living space. A walkout to the rear yard adds flexibility and convenience. A classic screened porch off the front of the home is ideal for enjoying comfortable outdoor dining. Outside, the gently sloping, fully-fenced lot backs to mature trees for added privacy, and is perfect for grilling and entertaining. The home sits in East Silver Spring, a quiet, tree lined pocket close to everything, just about half a mile to Downtown Silver Spring's restaurants, shops, and the AFI Silver Theatre, and under a mile to the Takoma Metro station on the Red Line. Outdoor lovers will appreciate being close to the Sligo Creek Trail, a wooded, paved path that winds for miles with playgrounds, picnic areas, and space to walk, run, or bike right in the neighborhood. Downtown Takoma Park's shops and restaurants, along with Whole Foods, Giant, and Safeway, are all just a short trip away, making this an ideal spot for anyone who wants a peaceful, established neighborhood with quick access to city conveniences and transit.
