If you're looking for a real home that radiates warmth and has been lovingly updated by owners (not investors), look no further! From the outset, this adorable home offers something slightly different, with a side porch that allows sheltered entry (and cool summer porch-sits) without blocking the afternoon sun from pouring into the living room. Beautiful refinished hardwood floors run from living to dining room. The kitchen dazzles, is bright and efficient, and allows direct access to the rear deck and yard. On the second level are three bedrooms and a crisp white bathroom, with hallway access to attic storage. The lower level offers a terrific family and/or guest room - especially considering the eye-popping bathroom! A separate utility room also offers ample additional storage space. The back yard provides space for small creatures (two-legged and/or four-legged) to run around and exhaust themselves, while big creatures relax and watch. Eton Road is a quiet street and Highland View a friendly neighborhood that simply doesn't feel like it's less than 1.5 miles from the hustle and bustle of downtown Silver Spring's shops, eateries, and metro. The public bus stops just a few blocks away, offering direct transport to the metro for those who want it; street parking is always easy. And for those who want a little more access to nature than even this spacious yard offers, nearby Sligo Creek Park offers miles of trails for walking, jogging, or biking. Ultimately, you may find that you're so happy in this home that a stay-cation will be your preference... but if not, it's an easy trip to the Beltway from lovely Highland View.
