Come and be charmed by this delightful 3-bedroom colonial, built in 1948 and easy walking distance to the Forest Glen Metro station as well as the Y and Q bus lines, with convenient access to the Beltway, bike trails, and parks. Living here means being wonderfully situated between downtown Silver Spring and Wheaton and all they have to offer: ethnic restaurants, Whole Foods, Target, Costco, the Fillmore, AFI, and more.
This cheerful home has all of the character of an older home – pristine hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and crown molding. There is an open flow between the dining room and kitchen, perfect for entertaining, including a built-in china cabinet. The cook’s kitchen features all stainless steel appliances, including a wall convection oven and microwave, gas cook-top range, maple cabinets, and granite countertops. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and has a large walk-in closet, not typical of older homes. There are two additional, generously sized bedrooms on the upper level. Stairs from one of these bedrooms leads to an unfinished attic, perfect for storage. The home has new energy-conservative windows throughout. The basement features a recently added full bathroom and a large finished bonus room that would be perfect as a family room or game room.
The MSM Team added value for this new client by organizing the renovation of the home prior to listing it for sale. The bones of the house are strong; but there were some projects that the Team recommended the owner undertake. As a result, the roof has been replaced, hardwood floors hidden by the carpet in the bedrooms have been refinished to their gleaming best, and one of the bathrooms has been upgraded. These, and other repairs and upgrades, were undertaken by contractors trusted and recommended by the Team. All of the restoration and repairs were monitored by the MSM Team on behalf of the homeowners. This minimized the homeowners’ efforts and concerns; everything was handled by the team to remain within a pre-agreed budget.
Wow–that is quite a transformation! It is hard to believe it is our house. We barely recognize it. The workers have all done a great job, and I know you have devoted a lot of time and energy overseeing everything. I knew it took a village to raise a child, but apparently it takes an army to ready a house for market.
