About This Home

As of June 2024

Rarely-available 4-bed, 2-bath Cape Cod home on an idyllic lot in the sought-after community of Connecticut Gardens, next to the Hammond Wood Historic District. Enter to the bright and airy main living area featuring hardwood floors, chair rail, crown molding, and ample space for both a living room and adjacent dining area. The large and open chef's kitchen with tree-lined views of the yard and access to the rear deck is the heart of this main level. This stunning kitchen boasts beautiful wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of extra cabinet and countertop space for all your food prep needs. Two spacious main level bedrooms and a tiled full bath with shower/tub combo is the ideal layout for single-level living. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath with tub/shower combo on the upper level offer the versatility for those in need of a true 4-bedroom home while also providing the option of utilizing the upper level as a single large owner's suite consisting of a bedroom with separate sitting room and bath. Ready for fun? Head downstairs to the large lower level rec room, perfect for a movie night-in, gym, or kids' play area plus an adjacent bonus room for in-home office, den, or extra storage. Host an amazing summer BBQ on the rear deck and patio while watching kids and pets play in the fully-fenced flat rear yard. The newly added driveway and retaining wall (2022) provide off-street parking plus plenty of street parking for guests nearby. Other recent upgrades include new HVAC with new vent and duct installation (2022), water heater (2015), carpet (2021), high-efficiency washer and dryer (2021), and fully stainless steel dishwasher (2024). Ideally located across the street from College View Park with a playground, picnic area, and fenced-in field for outdoor fun. This home is located in the volunteer Rock Creek Palisades Citizens Association (not an HOA!) that services Connecticut Gardens as well as surrounding North Kensington neighborhoods. The RCPCA ensures that this feels like a true community with events such as the Fourth of July fireworks, Halloween parade, fall festival, Shamrock event, and more just blocks away. Zoned to Kensington, MD public schools, this home is just steps from the elementary, middle, and high schools. The location is ideal for commuters with the metro (red line) and the Kensington MARC station both within 2 miles. There is ample shopping, dining, and entertainment nearby with Downtown Wheaton and Kensington Shopping Center both minutes away. Don't miss this rare find!
