About This Home
As of October 2025OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED 10/4/2025. Please don't miss seeing this one!!! New HVAC and Hot Water Heater in 2025! Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Silver Spring, this spacious brick & vinyl siding colonial offers rare privacy, a natural setting, excellent commuter access. This home features a two-car garage and a gravel parking pad for a third vehicle. What makes this property special is not only new mechanical systems but also its setting; while not in an HOA, it borders the preserved woodlands of the Briggs Chaney Woods Community Association and land managed by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Comm. (MNCPPC). Views of trees, open grassy space, and a gentle creek create a private, park-like retreat. Stepping out from the walk-out basement, there is a network of paths and foot bridges in the woods behind the house.
Inside, natural light fills every room; Hardwood floors and high ceilings, crown molding, piano molding and custom millwork flow through the main and upper levels. The two-story foyer opens to a spacious living room with floor to ceiling windows and bay window extension. The open formal dining room has 3 windows, custom moldings & chandelier. The kitchen and breakfast area pops with white cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting. The family room features a brick fireplace and opens to a spacious deck.
The walk-out lower level offers an "in-law Suite" with built in shelving, cedar closet, 2nd kitchen with cherry cabinets and formica counters. 5th bedroom, and a full bath, A finished laundry room with front load washer and dryer, and access to a flagstone patio - perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite includes a large sitting room w/palladian window, cathedral ceilings, two closets (one walk-in), and a renovated bath with soaking tub, new shower door, wood vanity with a vessel sink and Silestone countertop. Additional bedrooms feature walk-in closets, attic access. All bedrooms have Ceiling Fans and Elfa Closet Storage systems.
Located minutes from Route 29, I-95, and the ICC (MD-200), this home is ideal for commuting to DC and Baltimore. Nearby shopping, schools, and public transit add to the convenience - while the serene and amazing surroundings make coming home feel like a true escape.
