Welcome to 9939 Cottrell Terrace, a delightful home meticulously maintained, renovated throughout the years, and conveniently nestled inside the Capital Beltway in Silver Spring! This mid-century Cape Cod boasts a newer roof (2018) and windows and is the perfect blend of classic charm and modern potential, providing a comfortable living space across its well-designed layout. Upon entering, you're greeted by brand new luxury vinyl floors throughout the main level and a generous living room with a wood burning fireplace, accented by floor to ceiling brick that spans an entire wall, and serves as the heart of the home. The living room seamlessly flows into the renovated kitchen. The kitchen features 42-inch gleaming oak cabinets and upgraded with stainless steel appliances and a mosaic backsplash. It provides ample space for meal prep and storage with the addition of extra cabinets and counters along the entire wall of the former eat-in area. Beyond the kitchen is a spacious addition designed with an open, airy layout, tile floor, and large windows for an abundance of natural light and views of the rose garden and the lovely flat backyard. The main level includes two generously sized bedrooms. These bedrooms had the original small windows, now enlarged to enhance the space with natural light. Both bedrooms feature built-in storage. Adjacent to the bedrooms is a beautifully renovated full bathroom that adds a touch of sophistication. The space boasts a sleek walk-in shower with frameless sliding glass shower doors and stunning floor to ceiling marble with decorative accent. The upper level offers two additional bedrooms with laminate flooring and a full bath. No expense was spared as you enjoy enhanced space and natural light thanks to the addition of a charming dormer in the primary bedroom. This upgrade not only increased the square footage but also allowed for a large walk-in closet to be built between the two rooms for additional storage space. The beautifully upgraded bathroom offers classic white tiles, a large soaking tub and modern vanity with ample storage. Last but not least, step into the fully fenced backyard with a patio that exudes charm. The focal point of this beautifully landscaped space is a vibrant rose garden that has been lovingly maintained. In peak bloom it is bursting with color and fragrance. A stone retaining wall around a tree serves as a flowering bed. The custom-built shed offers storage space and a second patio. The front of the home features more garden beds and a semi-covered porch for bistro dining in the evenings. This home is truly turnkey ready with fresh whole house paint. Oakview residents have easy access to local schools, parks, shopping centers, public transportation, and major commuter routes. Lively Downtown Silver Spring is 10 minutes away. Anchored by Whole Foods, Regal Majestic Theater and with restaurants including Chido’s Tex-Mex Grill, Miss Toya’s Creole House, Copper Canyon Grill, and Matchbox, Downtown SS is in a class by itself. Shop until you drop with an eclectic mix of upscale retailers and local small businesses. The AFI Silver Theatre screens indie films and hosts festivals, and touring bands play the Fillmore. Guests enjoy year-round activities including outdoor live music, arts & craft fairs, and cultural festivals. In the winter, skate at the outdoor ice rink. The fun continues at Dave & Buster's and Big Escape Rooms. Downtown SS provides access to Metro Red Line for day trips to D. C. 9939 Cottrell offers the city outside your door without living in the city! Connect with nature at Brookside Gardens (20 min) and Sligo Creek Park with multiple trail access points nearby. Sports fanatics, head to College Park's XFINITY Center to cheer for the Terps! The University of Maryland has a strong basketball program competing at the NCAA Division I Level.
