Description

Come for the location, stay for the personality! Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character, this home is full of personality, from wallpaper and color drenched rooms to beautiful hardwood floors, vintage charm and modern updates. The new front door sets the tone from the moment you arrive, with a design that carries throughout. Upstairs, the versatile pass-through room is currently used as a 4th bedroom but could easily become an office, nursery, gym or playroom. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and inviting outdoor living space, there's room to live, gather and entertain. Ideally located in a sought after school district and within walking distance to Silver Spring and Richards Elementary. Character, color and charm come together beautifully in this one of a kind WFB home!
