A stately 1948 Brick Colonial with a roomy floorplan, attractive oak hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace with a handsome mantel, a new gas furnace, and 2.5 bathrooms over 3 finished levels well cared for by long-time owner; it will win your heart! Located close to shopping, transportation, and major commuting roads, but tucked away on a low-traffic street with a 65 Walkable score and 52 Good Transit Score. When entertaining the large dining area can hold a long table open to the Living Room, where guests can spread out nearby. The kitchen has been updated in the past and offers good counter space and gas cooking. A convenient half bathroom is on the main level for guests. The den was added to the rear of the house and can be a great office and/or guest space. Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub and pull-down steps to attic storage. The basement has a roomy Recreation room, full bathroom, laundry room, and utility room. There's a rear entrance to the basement with stairs. Sitting well back from the street, an attractive side porch surrounds the side of the house and leads to an enclosed outdoor private space with room for a table and chairs with electric lighting and a fan. Enjoy drinks and dinner here on warm nights safe from insects. The back garden is fenced and manageable with a stone patio across the rear and a storage shed - there's room for Gardner's to have fun front and back. The superb location is close to I-495, Metro at Forest Glen and Silver Spring, Four Corners Shopping Center & Park, Sligo Creek Park, and Holy Cross Hospital. It's a 3 block walk to Safeway Grocery & Woodmore shopping center with CVS & the cherished Woodmore Pastry Shop.
