About this home
Welcome to this beautifully maintained brick Colonial zoned for Takoma Middle school + Montgomery Blair HS, where timeless character, thoughtful updates, and a highly functional layout come together on one of Silver Spring's most picturesque, tree-lined streets. Filled with natural light and offering an ideal balance of formal and casual living spaces, this home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully enhanced for today's lifestyle.
Step inside to discover a warm and inviting living room anchored by a classic fireplace, creating the perfect setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests. Rich architectural details and large windows allow natural light to pour throughout the home, while the adjoining formal dining room provides an elegant space for everything from holiday gatherings to everyday dinners.
Just beyond, a bright and cozy room offers flexibility as a den, office, or playroom and opens to the sunroom, a peaceful retreat overlooking the backyard and gardens. Whether used as a morning coffee room, reading nook, play space, or home office, these versatile spaces seamlessly extend the home's living area. The spacious kitchen is designed for everyday functionality, offering generous cabinetry, ample countertop workspace, room for casual dining, and direct access to the outdoor living areas. A convenient main-level powder room, along with a separate shower located in the adjacent mudroom, provides added flexibility for guests and everyday living.
Upstairs, the home features three generously sized bedrooms, each offering abundant natural light, comfortable proportions, and excellent closet space. The primary bedroom serves as a relaxing retreat with tons of light and nice closet space. A centrally located full hall bathroom serves the upper level.
The finished lower level significantly expands the home's versatility. Renovated in 2023, it offers a spacious bonus area perfect for a home office, gym, or hobby space, plus an additional bedroom for guests or extended family and a beautifully renovated en suite full bathroom & murphy bed. An expansive storage closet completes this highly functional level, providing exceptional flexibility for a variety of lifestyles.
Storage is one of this home's standout features, with generously sized closets thoughtfully located on every floor, an oversized lower-level storage room, and an expansive attic providing exceptional space for seasonal items, hobbies, and long-term organization.
Meaningful updates provide peace of mind, including child-safe electrical outlets installed throughout in 2022, a Mitsubishi mini-split system adding efficient heating and cooling to the lower-level family room in 2023, the comprehensive basement renovation completed in 2023, and extensive chimney improvements completed in 2026, including a new chimney liner, fireproofing, and exterior brick repointing.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard creates a private outdoor sanctuary. The beautifully landscaped yard showcases mature trees, vibrant flowering plants, and established gardens that provide color and beauty throughout the seasons—an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Perfectly positioned just steps from Dale Drive Neighborhood Park, less than half a block from access to the scenic Sligo Creek Trail, and moments from Nolte Park, this exceptional location offers endless opportunities for recreation. The property is also located within the Takoma Park Middle School and Montgomery Blair High School districts. Enjoy the convenience of nearby downtown Silver Spring, featuring an outstanding collection of restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, entertainment, Metro access, and year-round community events.
