127 Ritchie Ave Silver Spring, MD 20910

You don't get it all in one package very often, but this is it! This cool, contemporary custom built home is one of a kind. Constructed in 2013 from the ground up on a 15,000 square foot lot, huge Pella windows throughout reveal the green vistas, and the evening twinkling lights across the valley are a sight to behold. Entertaining, relaxing, working, or learning — there's space for everyone here, and then some. With 5 bedrooms upstairs, an office/den on the main floor and a large workout room and additional guest suite (with second kitchen!) in the walkout basement, everyone has room to stretch out for work, study and exercise. The large owner's suite has spectacular tree-top views and the modern comforts of large dual walk-in closets and an expansive marble-tiled master bathroom, with spa soaking tub and separate shower. Four additional bedrooms, a full bathroom with skylight and dual vanities, and upper floor laundry room complete the second level. With clean lines, stainless appliances, and plenty of gorgeous custom hickory cabinetry, the hygge Scandinavian sensibilities reveal themselves in this open kitchen, inviting relaxation and conversation. Floor to ceiling windows across the living and dining space share that same great view. Cozy up around the modern fireplace in winter, and open the oversized French and sliding patio doors to let the spring sunshine in. Ready to take the party outside? There’s plenty of room to lounge and dine on the newly built 16x20 deck, or let the kids run wild, roast s'mores and climb the tree fort for some adventurous fun in the fully fenced backyard. Rainy day? The walkout lower level living space is the perfect setting for those indoor art projects and movie nights. In addition to the guest / au pair suite and second kitchen, the lower level family room and fitness studio lead to a huge separate storage room and the sweetest tool room, sure to tickle the tinkerer's heart! An attached oversized 1 car garage on the main level is perfect for the car, bikes and more. Walk to school! Set just a few blocks to each of the Takoma Park elementary and middle schools, within the Takoma Park school district, convenience is king, and commutes will be easy. Looking for playgrounds and trails? Heffner playground is a few steps away and the Sligo Creek trail is just around the corner. Enjoy Takoma Park's many parks and playgrounds, streetside dining, farmer's market and more. What more could you want? Come, enjoy and rest easy - you're home!
