Sliding doors provide easy access to the outdoor space, where you'll find a fire pit, raised garden beds brimming with tomatoes and strawberries. Throughout the yard, you will find an array of herbs including habanero, garden salsa pepper, lavender, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Off the laundry room, there is additional access to the backyard, as well as access to the attached one car garage, which provides secure parking and extra storage. Situated on the edge of Rock Creek Park and the DC|MD line, this home is just minutes from downtown Silver Spring, Silver Spring Metro, major bus lines, the future purple line, shopping, dining and more. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of mid-century modern architectural history in the GEM of a neighborhood that is North Portal Estates - one of Washington, DCs best kept secrets.
