Welcome to this beautifully updated three-level home that blends modern comfort with timeless character, located just over a mile from the heart of Downtown Silver Spring. A charming white picket fence and manicured front yard set the stage, with a slate stone walkway guiding you to the covered front porch, a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening conversation. From here, step directly into the living room or kitchen, each entrance offering its own warm welcome. Inside, the expansive living room showcases gleaming hardwood floors and a brick-accented wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy yet spacious atmosphere for gathering. Flowing seamlessly from the living area is the open-concept kitchen and dining room, where a vaulted ceiling and two skylights flood the space with natural light. The kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with sparkling counters, stainless steel appliances, and cabinetry outfitted with multiple roll-out storage options. A center island with breakfast bar invites casual meals and conversation, while the adjoining dining area opens to a spacious deck through sliding glass doors, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The main level also offers a versatile bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, two skylights brighten the hallway, leading to two generously sized bedrooms, each with a vaulted ceiling and en-suite bath. The primary suite impresses with three closets, plentiful windows, and a luxurious bath featuring a jetted soaking tub and beautifully tiled shower surround. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level provides even more living space, including a recreation room with luxury vinyl plank flooring, a wet bar with beverage refrigerator, a stylish half bath, and a fourth bedroom. A barn door reveals the laundry room, complete with utility sink and storage, and there?s a dedicated room for a workshop or additional storage needs. Step outside from the lower level to a private backyard framed by mature trees, with a storage shed and space to relax or play. Thoughtful updates add lasting value: the roof is just three years old, and both the driveway and retaining wall were recently redone. The home is outfitted with quality Andersen windows that enhance both form and function. Additional upgrades include a tankless water heater replaced in 2021 and a dual-zoned HVAC system replaced in 2024. Parking is easy with both a driveway and street options available. Life on Gist Avenue offers easy access to the dynamic energy of Downtown Silver Spring. From shops and restaurants to cultural landmarks like the AFI Silver Theatre and The Fillmore, there?s always something to explore. Seasonal events at Veterans Plaza, the nearby Metro station, and an abundance of parks and trails round out this ideal location, placing everything you need right at your doorstep.
