Description

This wonderful brick Cape Cod-style home (nicknamed "The Moss" by its current owners) combines the architectural charm and sturdy construction of the early 1940s with a modern, updated interior and gorgeous exterior landscaping that brings a touch of summer magic to both the front and back yards. This home features real hardwood floors on the Main and Upper Levels, and it offers generous space for entertaining (indoors and outdoors), working at home, or relaxing in quiet comfort.

This home features real hardwood floors on the Main and Upper Levels, and it offers generous space for entertaining (indoors and outdoors), working at home, or relaxing in quiet comfort. There are two bedrooms on the Main Level, two on the Upper Level (including a large Primary Bedroom with walk-in closet), and a fifth bedroom on the Lower Level along with a Family/Craft Room, Laundry Room and storage area. Although just a short distance from the Beltway, "The Moss" is situated on a quiet street and is bordered by a mini-forest that runs alongside Long Branch Creek. Dining, shopping and entertainment options in downtown Silver Spring, Bethesda, and Kensington are all easily accessible via the network of major roads that crisscross this area, as are NIH, NASA, the University of Maryland, I-95 and BWI Airport. "The Moss" is a remarkable home that has been lovingly cared for. It will make a wonderful home for you, too!
