Welcome to your dream retreat, surrounded by nature while convenient to nearby urban amenities! This charming Silver Spring home, with a total of 1,728 square feet, has been recently updated, including fresh paint, recessed lighting and newly refinished wide-plank pine flooring. This is the perfect spot for entertaining, with an open floor plan that features French doors that open out to the huge screened porch, surrounded by lush greenery. Adjacent to that is an even bigger deck where you can immerse yourself in nature or host friends for a fun summer get-together.  Inside, the space provides an easy flow, from the welcoming living room, with a wall of built-in shelves, to the cheerful galley kitchen with a pass-through to the dining area.  The primary bedroom and bath are also on the main floor, along with an office/small bedroom, providing ultimate convenience. The upper floor offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The basement presents a fantastic opportunity for multi-generational living or an au pair suite, with a full kitchen, bedroom, living room, covered patio, and separate entrance. Enjoy the outdoors with a walking trail right out back on county-owned land. Located 1.5 miles from the Forest Glen Metro Station and just steps from the Ride-On bus stop, and with parking for up to five cars, you'll have plenty of options for getting around. Don't miss out on this tranquil yet accessible haven!
