Cute as a button. Step into a piece of Silver Spring history with this enchanting 1920's bungalow, where vintage charm meets modern convenience. Nestled on a picturesque street, this home boasts an inviting front porch, soaring ceilings, and warm wood floors that exude character and warmth. What truly sets this property apart is its expansive, meticulously manicured backyard—an oversized oasis unlike anything else in Silver Spring. This backyard epitomizes feng shui. Whether you envision tranquil evenings, lively gatherings, or a lush retreat in the heart of the city, this outdoor space is expansive, unique, charming, and unparalleled. Extensive upgrades over the years—totaling over $255,000—ensure that this home is not only beautiful but also built for longevity and modern living. Thoughtful renovations include a new roof (2017), Hardiplank siding, electrical and plumbing updates, refinished oak floors, new windows and doors, and a complete kitchen transformation. Smart investments such as solar panels (2022) and a tankless water heater (2020) enhance efficiency and sustainability. This house has been remodeled in such a way that the new owner can easily expand back back or up. Another standout feature is the newly converted lower-level in-law suite, offering flexible living options. Whether used as an Airbnb, rental income opportunity, extended family space, or an additional living area, this suite provides endless possibilities. Complete with a kitchenette, a remodeled bathroom, and private entry, it's a rare find in this coveted location. Perfectly positioned within easy reach of Downtown Silver Spring, multiple Metros, Sligo Creek, and Takoma Park, this home delivers a seamless blend of urban accessibility and neighborhood charm. With a history of thoughtful improvements and an unmatched backyard retreat + private driveway, this bungalow is a truly exceptional offering in Silver Spring. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a home that perfectly balances classic charm, modern upgrades, and unparalleled outdoor space-
