Situated on a magnificent home-site (with two lots/parcels included totaling 15,243 sq. ft.), overlooking the park, this custom brick beauty has all sorts of surprises to delight the most discerning buyer. The original home has been remodeled and expanded with only the finest finishes and is flooded with natural light. The lower level expansion includes a level walkout to a vast patio and raised flower beds, has full size windows, a separate entrance, gym, full bathroom with a clawfoot tub, recreation room, multipurpose/5th bedroom, a finished laundry room, built-ins and a masonry wood burning fireplace. The expansion also encompasses the main level, with a sumptuous owner's retreat and sitting room, an elegant ensuite, nine foot ceilings, and French doors leading to a very private deck overlooking expansive gardens, patios, and a whimsical tree house for the children (or for the child inside the adults). The upper level is just spectacular and features soaring ceilings, architecturally significant and unique windows, walk-in closets, oodles of storage space, a cedar closet for storing winter clothes and hardwood floors. The main level boasts large, elegant reception and dining rooms, a sunlit breakfast room with amazing views of the surrounding woods and currently has access to bird feeders, which are perfect for the ornithologist enjoying morning coffee while birdwatching.  Each level allows for a flexible floor plan to satisfy any new owner's needs and is also ideal for multi-generational living as there are two main entrances and one that is level.  A long meandering driveway borders a lovely, wooded walking path and the sights and sounds of nature can be enjoyed from every vantage point. An easy stroll to Zinnia's for your morning coffee, lunch or dinner and also a short stroll to parks, walking trails, Metro, downtown Silver Spring and so much more!  The thought and care that went into the finer details cannot be overstated. A gardener, entertainers, commuters, and birdwatchers delight - this amazing home has it all! Welcome home!
