A rare opportunity to enjoy the space and privacy of a detached home while staying close to the energy and convenience of Downtown Silver Spring and DC. Whether you are buying your first home or ready to move up from a condo or apartment, this thoughtfully updated property offers more room to spread out, a private fenced backyard, generous off street parking, and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces of your own. Inside, the open floor plan connects the living room, dining room, and family room, creating flexible spaces for relaxing, entertaining, working from home, or simply enjoying a little more breathing room. The updated kitchen features new cabinetry, granite countertops, newer appliances, and a center island that flows easily into the main living areas. Major improvements include an approximately 2 year old HVAC system and water heater, two AC units, updated windows, a new security system, and a newer washer and dryer. Outside, enjoy the large deck overlooking the fenced backyard, a welcoming front porch, and brand new outdoor storage space. The updated driveway provides private parking for up to 10 vehicles, an exceptional feature for a home this close to Downtown Silver Spring. With shopping, dining, parks, entertainment, transportation, and major commuter routes nearby, this home offers the opportunity to trade shared walls and limited outdoor space for a detached home with more privacy, more parking, and more room to make your own, without giving up the convenience of an urban location.

North Takoma Park, located between Sligo Creek Park and the Takoma DC Line, is a residential and walkable Takoma Park neighborhood with leafy side streets and a strong porch-and-garden streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Carroll Avenue at Ethan Allen Avenue, where sidewalk chatter meets indie storefronts, coffee counters, and bike traffic. Early-20th-century bungalows and frame houses sit under mature trees, with pocket parks and creek trails shaping daily routines. Takoma Beverage Company, Rhizome DC, and the Takoma Park Farmers Market act as cultural anchors for local tastemakers and weekend rituals. Blocks feel calm, while the Metro and Old Town Takoma’s small-business strip keep the pace urban. Sligo Creek’s green corridor adds a long, linear backdrop for walking and cycling.
