About This Home
Beautifully refreshed and full of charm, this Cape Cod home offers three levels of comfortable living in an unbeatable location. Thoughtfully updated in 2026, it blends classic character with modern upgrades to create a truly move-in-ready retreat. From the bright, inviting interior to the expansive, level lot, this home delivers both immediate comfort and exciting potential for the future. The main level greets you with a light-filled living room that flows seamlessly into the brand-new kitchen, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been completely renovated with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances, and provides direct access to the large, flat backyard—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. This level also features two generously sized bedrooms and a refreshed full bath, complemented by newly installed hardwood flooring and fresh paint throughout the entire home. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional spacious bedrooms and a full hall bath, offering flexibility for family, guests, or private work-from-home spaces. The upper level is finished with brand-new carpeting, creating a comfortable and cozy retreat. The fully finished basement expands your living space with a large recreation room, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. An additional den offers endless possibilities as a home office, gym, or guest room, along with a dedicated laundry area for added convenience. This level has also been updated with new carpeting and fresh paint, making it both functional and inviting. Situated on a flat and square 0.22-acre lot, the exterior features a large fenced backyard with plenty of room for outdoor activities, gardening, or future expansion. The home also includes a private driveway with off-street parking for two cars and low-maintenance landscaping. Located just one mile from downtown Silver Spring, you’ll enjoy easy access to a wide variety of restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, entertainment venues (The Fillmore), and a year-round farmers market (Freshfarm Downtown SS). With nearby parks and trails—including Sligo Creek Park, Nolte Park, and Bullis Park—and convenient access to major commuter routes, the MARC Train, and the Silver Spring Metro (Red Line), this home offers an exceptional combination of charm, convenience, and long-term value.
