Stunning and unique Bennett Frank McCarthy renovation with custom architectural and design features, wonderful flow, soaring ceilings and spacious rooms. Very creative and talented owners have not stopped improving and customizing to this day! Property was virtually rebuilt from the foundation up in 2004-5, taken down to the studs, leaving only the charming front brick tudor arch and preserving authentic period details to re-use where possible. Post and Beam construction with hardiplank siding, radiant floor heating on each level, Weather Shield aluminum clad wood windows, operating transoms, High Efficiency HVAC (2019), Energy Recovery Ventilator(ERV), outdoor awnings, and custom millwork throughout. Enter from the inviting front porch to a spacious foyer with two closets and built-in storage. Step down to the bright living room with recycled Vermont barn American Cherry floors, vaulted 20' ceilings and a cosy custom fireplace with the first of several "eyebrow" curved custom motifs that repeat throughout the house. Step up to the kitchen dining combination. The kitchen features Merrilat soft-close cabinetry (2009) a peninsula bar, walk in pantry, vintage porcelain sink and restored gas stove and the second eyebrow curve detail above the stove. The dining area has built-in display and storage cabinets and can be converted to a larger dining or family room space with the removal of ingenious wall panels that separate it from the adjacent bedroom. Partially covered deck off dining area has the eyebrow design repeated in its cantilevered roofline. Bedroom and full bath complete this level. The upper level features a luxurious master suite with large open office or sitting area, ensuite master bath with washer dryer, and exterior balcony. There is also a bonus sleeping loft or reading nook!The lower level is a separate licensed rental, ADA compliant, which could easily be used as additional family space. The unit includes a bright living room at grade with French doors that open to a patio, an adorable kitchen and bedroom area with spacious full bath, a stacking washer/dryer in closet. Large utility room with storage (check out the impressive pipe system for the radiant heat!)and a huge attached workshop with separate entrance and zoned heat which could be converted to an additional bedroom. Great attention has been paid to the lovely exterior plantings and trees, including American Hornbeam, Honey Locust, Ginkgo, Arbor Vitae, Star Magnolia, Japanese Maple, Maple Amure, Katsura and American Elm trees, as well as Hydrangea, Service berry, Lilac and Polka shrubbery. Fabulous location in popular North Woodside, one block to Woodlin Elementary, convenient to both Silver Spring and Forest Glen Metros, downtown Silver Spring, I-495 and all commuter routes, including the coming Purple Line.
