About This Home

As of April 2024

MULTIPLE OFFERS, NO MORE SHOWINGS. A once in a lifetime opportunity! This beautifully restored Classic Cape Cod sits on a Storybook Street so close to downtown Silver Spring, Takoma Park and what will be the Purple Line Metro Station. The home is spectacular, the location provides a commuter lifestyle available nowhere else. Fully restored to its original 1940s vintage glamour, with all of today's modern conveniences. High ceilings, large rooms, 8-inch base and crown moldings, beautiful hand scraped wide plank flooring, original arches, moldings and millwork, circular flow ideal for easy entertaining. Main level: inviting foyer, living room with wood burning quartz fireplace, dining room with built-ins, gourmet kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, calacatta quartz, pantry & high end KitchenAid stainless, sun-soaked den, half bath, main level primary suite with porcelain ensuite bath, and a one car attached garage. Upstairs you'll find two additional large bedrooms with cedar closets, and a full porcelain bath. The unfinished dry walk out lower level awaits your personal touches and has great ceiling height, heating and cooling, and rough bath plumbing as well as a laundry area. Very large rooms, great closet/storage space, seemingly endless natural light throughout. Vintage details, high end materials and beautiful finishes. Quintessential Norman Rockwell Americana. Great green flat lot/fenced rear, with mature plantings. Lovely paver patio. Minutes to 193/29/95/ICC/DC, fun shops, hip gourmet dining, solid schools and so much more. Metro commuters ultimate dream-the Purple Line Station is located extremely close by and when open will be less than a five-minute walk from your front door. Imagine the convenience of walking out your door, skipping the car, hopping on Metro and being anywhere in DC/the DMV you want to be within minutes. Truly a lovely home filled with character and charm, warm and inviting with a fun quirky vibe found only in older homes. This is the Urban Oasis you have been waiting for!
