1919 Blackbriar St Silver Spring, MD 20903

Listing details for 1919 Blackbriar St, Silver Spring, MD 20903 : Set well back from the street on low traffic road with wide spaces between the homes and on a large 13,178 square foot lot, this 1959 Brick Rambler speaks to a bygone age when the land was cheap and homes had privacy from one another! From the dining room window, you enjoy a serene southerly view down a hill with mature trees and shrubs bringing tranquility you don't expect just outside of the Beltway and close to I-95 for easy commuting. The living room is grand with hardwood floors and a fireplace with a gas insert - great for formal gatherings. The kitchen overlooks the dining room as in modern homes and has great counter space, lots of cabinets, and an electric stove top with a separate electric oven, There's a big family room off of the dining room with picture windows to trees. Enjoy the convenience at the other end of the house with a separating door leading to 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms; including an owner suite. Hardwood floors throughout the main level are a joy to behold. Step downstairs and a huge lower level awaits you with a BIG Recreation room with a 2nd wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelving and walk-out doors to a patio on the lower level. As the level at the rear is lower and the windows large the rear part of the basement is flooded with light and is not a typical lower level at all. There's a bedroom and 3rd bathroom here and LOTS of storage along with a separate laundry room. Gas hot water baseboard heating is featured along with electric central air conditioning. You will not be stranded from the internet and heating or cooling here after a big storm if the power goes out in the area because there's a gas whole house generator attached that conveys with the house and kicks on as soon as the power goes out. What a convenience when life needs to go on as usual. If you work at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the commute is just 1.5 miles from the front door and against the traffic. You are also close to the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, the University of Maryland, the new Adventist Hospital, and just 5 minutes from the Hillandale Shopping Center anchored by Safeway and with a Starbucks and a popular Indian Restaurant. The 2nd owner since new is ready to pass along this treasure in a peacefully serene setting for another generation to enjoy! Not to be missed!
