Welcome to 815 Philadelphia Avenue, a charming, fully-renovated bungalow in the heart of downtown Silver Spring. A walkway leads through perennial beds to the cozy covered porch. Inside, the bright, open-concept living space stretches from the front to the back of the home with hardwood flooring and recessed lighting. The living room features a fireplace with flanking windows and a stylish tray ceiling. The large dining space connects to the fully renovated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A door opens onto a spiral staircase leading down to the backyard. To the left of the entrance you’ll find a bedroom and a renovated full bath as well as a lovely primary suite with a walk-through closet and renovated en-suite bathroom. Upstairs is a great home office/den as well as a cozy family area that opens onto an expansive rooftop deck. The beautifully renovated lower level has a family room with wet bar and a door to the backyard, space for a home gym and a second home office as well as two additional bedrooms and a third full bath. Laundry and mechanicals complete the lower level. Out back is a fenced, landscaped yard with a firepit and a detached garage with electrical and sliding doors to the yard - great space for entertaining or creating a terrific studio. Driveway will accommodate multiple cars for off-street parking.
