Graceful Cape on Wooded Lot with Gardens!
This recently renovated and expanded Cape Cod backs into a large, private wooded lot in a
neighborhood convenient to College Park, Silver Spring, and Washington DC. An open-concept
floor plan features a beautiful kitchen with maple cabinets, granite counters, a gas cook stove, a new
refrigerator and dishwasher, and ceiling fans in every room. The kitchen connects to the living room and has natural maple crown molding around the ceiling and large ceiling-to-floor windows that flood
the living room with light and look out onto a stand of bamboo on a quiet street. The fireplace is
outfitted with gas-burning logs for those chilly nights. Only a few steps outside the front door is
the neighborhood Edgefield Park, outfitted with a children’s play area, tennis courts, a basketball
court, picnic areas, and walking trails. The four-year-old family room off the kitchen is a large,
sunny space with Pella windows, custom cabinets, and a pantry. Your family and friends will enjoy
walking out of the family room’s French doors into mature gardens, a fenced 11,326 sq. ft yard,
and two patios, one with a fire pit and surrounded by tall oak and maple trees, azaleas,
hydrangeas, and other perennials. An Amish-built shed in the backyard is ready for your lawn
equipment. Double gates open into an alleyway that provides easy access for lawn care and
other needs.
The main floor of the house has two good-sized bedrooms with hardwood floors and generous
closets with built-in drawers and recently replaced windows, as well as an updated full bath.
Custom wooden handrails lead you upstairs to the second floor, which has two large bedrooms,
a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom, as well as spacious under-eaves, and finished storage areas. The
downstairs features a beautifully finished basement with built-in shelves for an office or second
living room, ceramic tile floors, an under-stairs storage area, and a laundry room with two-year-old
washer and dryer. A separate tool and work room have a heavy workbench and ample storage for
equipment. The rooms have been recently repainted. A front driveway provides off-street
parking for two cars. The long-life shingle roof is four years old, and a complete French-drain
system, with an inside sump and battery backup system, prevents flooding and assures a dry
basement.
You are on a bus line on Powder Mill Road and a short drive from shopping on Powder Mill, New
Hampshire Avenue, and College Park. The Beltway is close by, with a neighborhood bus stop, and
Metrorail is only a 10-minute drive. There’s more shopping at White Oak shopping center. I-95 and
The Intercounty Connector is within easy reach. There’s easy access to the University of
Maryland, while the U.S. Army Research Laboratory is a short walk away, and the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration is a 5-minute drive! The new Adventist Hospital at White Oak is a 10-
minute drive. This is a well-cared-for home in super move-in condition, surrounded by trees,
nature, and lots of birds. It’s an entertainer’s dream home and it can become yours for years of
pleasure! Don’t miss this one!
