Welcome to 722 Gist, a charming Silver Spring bungalow. Curb appeal abounds in this artfully-landscaped home with a welcoming front porch. Imagine sitting in the porch swing and watching the day go by. When you enter the home you will immediately notice the hardwood floors found throughout the first level. The living room and dining room combination has a beautiful wood burning fireplace. The main level contains 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath with updated vanity and lights. The well equipped kitchen is found toward the back of the home. Just beyond the kitchen is a lovely enclosed sun room that leads to the private fenced backyard which includes ample afternoon shade from a majestic white oak tree, the largest nearby. This 1925 home holds so much of its original character along with tasteful updates. Recent improvements include: new roof in 2015, attic insulation/weatherizing in 2016, complete lower level renovation 2018, and new exterior paint in 2019. The lower level update includes vinyl plank flooring, a custom 2nd full bath and a large 4th bedroom with attractive double barn doors that when opened provide light from north and south and an open floor plan. There is also a rough in for a second kitchen. The laundry and utility area are found on this level as well. There is a separate entrance that leads to the driveway. This flex space offers so many possibilities, maybe an Airbnb or rental space or perfect for a multi-generational family. Underneath the front porch, you will find a secure storage area/workroom. The driveway allows parking for up to two vehicles. Additional on street parking is permitted. However, you can leave the car at home as the East Silver Spring neighborhood location offers access to both the urban character of Silver Spring with its many restaurant and shopping options as well as charismatic Takoma Park and its unique annual events and festivals (folk, blues, 4th of July) and charming downtown. The Silver Spring farmer’s market is on Saturday, and Takoma on Sunday. If you enjoy biking or hiking the Sligo Creek Trail is around the corner, and Rock Creek National Park is less than two miles away. Silver Spring/Takoma Park are served by Metro’s Redline, and this property is only ¾ mile from either stop - ultimate convenience! Plus, the future Purple Line is even closer and will be quick access to Bethesda. All that Washington DC has to offer is minutes away. Hurry, if you want to make this house your home!
