What's special
Gorgeous, Picture Perfect Tudor! Welcome to 5 Wessex Road, an enchantingly updated and beautifully appointed Tudor home with an inviting stone front patio. Originally built circa 1932, this property has been completely redone with attention to detail while honoring the home’s history; great care has been taken in updating this gorgeous property to combine its original vintage charms with all the convenience of modern living! The numerous architectural details displayed in this home include original wood trim, gleaming wood floors, delightful archways, soaring ceilings, and replacement windows. This home offers a welcoming entry foyer with coat closet, and an extraordinary living room featuring a woodburning Fieldstone fireplace flanked by custom built-in bookcases and vaulted barrel ceilings with wood beams. The sun-drenched formal dining room has attractive casement windows and opens to the kitchen. The renovated kitchen features solid surface counters with a porcelain farm sink, handsome cabinetry, a gas range, a side-by-side refrigerator with a water dispenser, and terracotta tile flooring. The kitchen has access to the porch and the backyard. The main level is complete with a large sunroom and an en-suite bedroom with display shelving and a full bathroom. Upstairs are two sizable bedrooms (one with an incredible painted mural) with ample closet space, custom blinds, and a full bathroom. The lower level includes a bright family room with a fireplace, a bonus area, a full bathroom, a laundry room, and offers plenty of storage space. The picturesque exterior features a serene front patio – perfect for entertaining - a lovely yard with mature plantings, stone pathways, a slate roof, cooper gutters, and a side garage. It’s all here - condition, convenience, and the comity of a great community. Enjoy living in Sligo Creek Hills; this location offers all the allure and convenience of this very special area. The neighborhood enjoys a warm sense of community, as well as ready access to Sligo Creek Trail, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in Downtown Silver and Takoma Park. 1.2 miles to the Takoma Metro Station and quick accessibility to multiple bus lines.
