Wave a magic wand and find your next home! This charming, turnkey, semi-detached true 3 bed/ 2.5 bath townhome offers an ideal layout and no long to-do list. Just move in and hit the Easy Button! The spacious, updated kitchen complete with a brand-new quartz countertop offers room for a movable island, extra storage, or a breakfast table, plus a walk-in pantry! The flexible, semi-open main level has space for it all: a reading nook, home office, music corner, and a delightful living room with a gorgeous picture window. The dining area easily accommodates a table for 8 to 10. Upstairs, retreat to a peaceful primary bedroom with an open-concept ensuite bath, plus two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. Downstairs, the finished basement is anything but average, featuring great natural light, beautiful updated flooring, and high ceilings. Updated appliances and major systems make life that much easier. Lovingly and meticulously maintained by the same owners since 1989, this home strikes the perfect balance between thoughtful, practical updates and a touch of whimsy. Why buy a boring home that needs work when you can have this? Tucked into a delightful HOA community of just 15 townhomes, where homes rarely become available, you'll enjoy the charm of a close-knit neighborhood and the ease of low-maintenance living! Parking is a breeze with two flexible spaces. Love the outdoors? Sligo Creek Trail and Dale Drive Park are just a 7-minute walk away, while nearby Sligo Avenue Neighborhood Park is perfect for meeting new four-legged friends. And yes, your map is correct! Downtown Silver Spring and the Silver Spring Metro are just one mile away, with Takoma Park Metro only 1.5 miles away. Whole Foods, Safeway, and Giant are all less than a mile from home. Best of all, this home was made for enjoying all four seasons. Watch the leaves change through the gorgeous stairwell picture windows, cozy up by the working fireplace when winter arrives, sip coffee on the front porch among the spring blooms, and grill on the back deck all summer long. A home this thoughtfully cared for, with this much charm and so little left to do? Now that's a little bit of magic. Welcome home!
