Warm and charming Dutch Colonial completely updated from top to bottom in the highly desirable Sherwood Forest neighborhood of Silver Spring. A classic center-hall layout offers spaces that flow easily into one another, perfectly suited to effortless entertaining and everyday living. Gleaming solid-oak hardwood floors greet you in the ample entrance and extend throughout the main and upper levels. The generous formal living and dining rooms show off beautiful crown molding details, while huge windows let in floods of natural light that reflects off the polished nickel curtain rods and designer chandelier. The eat-in kitchen offers both beauty and functionality with gleaming white cabinets and a double-door pantry that provide loads of storage space. White ice granite countertops and genuine natural slate flooring compliment updated appliances including french-door refrigerator and brand new dishwasher and microwave. The kitchen’s breakfast nook opens conveniently into the ample family room whose wood beams, large windows and massive gas fireplace with stone surround make this a perfect place for gathering and relaxing.


Connecting the family room to the two-car garage, a large heated breezeway with high vaulted ceilings basks in natural light that pours in from the french door side entrance, windows, patio doors and skylights and provides plenty of room to serve both as a mudroom and exercise space.


On the upper level, the generously-sized owners suite evokes the relaxed elegance of a luxury hotel with its double vanity clad in carrara marble and solid brass bridge fixtures. Stunning solid brass exposed pipe shower system with gleaming all-glass surround creates a spa-like feel. A walk-in closet and an additional closet provide generous storage. Another completely remodeled bathroom greets you in the upstairs hall with its top-tier quartzite double sink vanity with polished nickel fixtures by California Faucets. Luxurious baths await in the extra-deep insulated Kohler soaking tub. Three more light-filled bedrooms on the upper level all boast large closets and plenty of space for family and guests.


A lower level has an open flex space with new carpet, a laundry room and workshop with a walk-up to the extensive, fully-fenced back yard which connects through a private gate directly into the playground of top-rated Westover Elementary School. The backyard’s charms also include elegant landscaping, a play area, raised-bed garden and a generous patio that connects both to the kitchen and, via double French doors, to the dining room for outdoor cooking and entertaining.


This prime property is ideally situated next to Westover Elementary, and within walking distance to the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail and Robin Hood Swim Club which regularly hosts neighborhood events and parties.
