Welcome home to 9508 Bruce Drive—a stately 1940s colonial perfectly situated on a premier lot in the coveted North Hills neighborhood. From the breathtaking landscaping to thoughtful updates throughout, pride of ownership is evident in every detail. The inviting flagstone walkway leads to the lush plantings and intricately crafted custom portico that set the tone for the home’s timeless elegance. Inside, a bright and spacious floor plan awaits, blending classic character with modern comfort. The main level features gleaming hardwood floors and abundant natural light. French doors open from the formal living room with a gas fireplace to a composite deck and private backyard oasis. The formal dining room has built-in corner cabinets and flows seamlessly into the beautifully renovated kitchen, complete with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, desk, and an inviting eat-in area. Just off the kitchen, an airy family room with large energy-efficient windows and a door to the deck brings the outdoors in—perfect for year-round enjoyment. An updated powder room completes this level. Upstairs, original hardwood floors run throughout, and you will find three generous bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The serene primary suite boasts a renovated ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, skylight, and a well-lit dedicated vanity. The fully updated hall bath features marble tile and a tub/shower combination. From the walk-in closet in the third bedroom, a staircase provides easy access to the full attic—ideal for potential future living space or storage. The finished lower level includes a cozy family room or guest suite with wall-to-wall carpeting and painted pine walls, a laundry area with ample storage, a bathroom, a workshop/hobby space with utility area, and a door to the backyard. The secluded backyard offers mature trees, flowering shrubs, tiered red-brick and flagstone hardscaping, a composite deck, and a storage shed. At the front of the home, a one-car attached garage and private driveway with space for four cars add everyday convenience. Perfectly positioned near Sligo Creek Trail, just minutes from downtown Silver Spring’s vibrant shopping, weekly farmers market, dining, and entertainment, and close to Brookside Gardens and D. C. museums, the home also offers quick access to public transit and major commuter routes including I-495 and US-29.
