Description
This single-family home is one of a kind, surrounded by forest preserved by Montgomery County as an urban park. Built in 1908, it features four bedrooms and two full baths and has the charm and high ceilings that reflect this era. The house was originally a retreat from the summer heat in Washington and subsequently converted into a year-round home, with the addition of dormers, gas, electricity, and public water and sewer. In 2004, Montgomery County purchased land surrounding the property to create the urban park, and granted easements for the driveway and utilities to the owner of the residence, which will convey. The setting is a spectacular blend of rolling hills and forest. From here, one can access the Metro at Forest Glen, public tennis courts, and a children’s playground. Given the house's age and the dormers' addition, it has several structural defects, all outlined in the licensed structural engineer's report attached to the disclosures. This home needs extensive repairs and is an "As Is" sale. The home is regarded as a contributing resource within a historic district, so the Historic Preservation Commission requires prior approval for any changes to the exterior. This is a unique opportunity to craft a home to your style while living in a spectacular woodland setting. The convenient location provides close proximity to public transportation – Ride-on bus, Forest Glen metro, and Marc train - schools, restaurants and shopping in Silver Spring and Kensington, and the Saturday morning Farmer’s Market in Kensington, and much more! Welcome home!
