About This Home

As of December 2025

OPEN FRIDAY, OCT 24, 1 TO 3PM!! A Gorgeous Home and Garden with Storybook Charm and Architectural Heritage....in the highly sought-after Woodmoor neighborhood of Silver Spring.
Step into a truly enchanting garden, thoughtfully designed by landscape architect Beth Sullivan and her husband Laurence during their ownership. Beth’s legacy includes serving as a landscape architect for the Vice Presidential Mansion, where she worked with six Vice Presidential families — a pedigree that’s evident in every lovingly placed element of this home’s outdoor sanctuary and indoor charm.
The backyard welcomes you with a romantic wisteria-draped arbor that leads into a private garden retreat. Mature holly trees and a bountiful rose bush offer both beauty and privacy, while a whimsical grapevine-covered nook creates the perfect spot for reading or quiet reflection. A shady side garden adds a cool, serene contrast, offering a peaceful corner to relax on warm afternoons shaded by one of the most beautiful and recognizable trees in the neighborhood. Throughout the grounds, you'll discover antique iron gates, vintage tractor seats artfully placed as garden features, and handcrafted stonework, including an outdoor entry bench. The stone elements — including raised garden beds, a cottage-style patio, tiered retaining walls, and a charming stone driveway — bring texture, warmth, and timeless appeal to the landscape. The private alley to the garage serves a few families where many parties and celebrations were hosted. One of the most magical details of the property is the secret path tucked beside the garage. This hidden walkway is paved with unused cut stones from the National Cathedral, paired with imported pebbles from England that create the soothing sound of rain beneath your feet.
This garden is a true dream for green thumbs and imaginative minds alike — a place where gardening flourishes and children can imagine fairies behind every flower...A rare and memorable outdoor space, designed with artistry, history, and heart.
The home is equally special with large room sizes, a proper entry hall, and circular flow. The bathrooms have been artfully refreshed on the main and upper level, and there's new carpet in the lower level with large 2nd fireplace, full bath, office, and utility room. All minutes from 4 Corners, Woodmoor Shopping Center, Trader Joe's, Northwest Branch Trail, Downtown Silver Spring, and 495. You'll want to make this piece of history home.
