Welcome home to this charming, all brick, post-war colonial just minutes from downtown Silver Spring. Backing to mature gardens & greenery amid the quiet community of Highland View. Brand new roof, new gutters and downspouts, brand new electrical panel, electrical meter and all new outlets, switches and cover plates. Newly refinished hardwoods are original and spectacular. Enter through the charming side porch off of the driveway with newly painted and fully removable screens. Owned by one family since 1989; newly renovated and updated, this special home has retained touches of yesteryear sprinkled amidst the updated rooms. Original basket-weave tile flooring in the bathrooms, wood-burning brick fireplace in the living room and original door hardware preserved wherever possible. Custom, corner built-in hutches in the dining room and pillow-top “quilting” retained in the original plaster adds whimsy and magic to the ceilings and walls. Fully renovated kitchen with all new cabinetry, butcher block countertops, designer cabinetry hardware and custom tile backsplash. All new stainless steel appliances, sink & faucet and custom herringbone tile floor. All new light fixtures throughout the house, with the 1940s design element in mind. Upstairs, the original and newly refinished hardwoods continue into 3 very generously sized bedrooms. The main, full bathroom maintains its original basket-weave tile and wall accent tile. New bathroom vanity, fixtures, faucet, and medicine cabinet maintain the integrity of the design style. Just off the primary suite is an active door & screen door to what was once a roof terrace (and could easily be restored) for morning coffee or whimsical rooftop overlook. Freshly painted throughout, every room is bright and fresh with sunlight flooding every corner of the home. Lower level has room for expansion with over 460 sq feet of unfinished space to create office, den, larger rec room or bonus guest space. Existing rec room is 216 sq ft of finished space with new carpeting, freshly painted, new recessed lighting and new windows which elevate and brighten the whole level. With original concrete double sink on wrought iron base and 1950s General Electric refrigerator (as-is) there are nods to yesteryear throughout this special home. A charming rear yard is in full bloom with mature & flowering azaleas, bluebells, periwinkle, ivy, hyacinth and 100 yr old trees. Featuring one of the largest lots at .23 acres, the land is flat and private. Oversized, all brick detached 406 sq ft garage and extended driveway that could easily hold 4-6 additional cars. New garage door, new opener and keypad, this extraordinary space has electricity and endless possibilities! This quiet suburb of Silver Spring is walkable distance to downtown and just steps from the future purple line metro stop. With a charming weekly Farmer's Market, close to shopping, restaurants, Whole Foods Market & movie theaters. Just a couple blocks from two Elementary Schools & Middle Schools, with easy access to commuter routes, 495/95, Colesville Rd and convenient to DC & public transit. Don't miss this opportunity to put your personal shine on a fairytale piece of the American dream.
