1617 Colesberg St, Silver Spring, MD 20905

This is an ideal home to live and entertain in. It is an inviting 4 Level Split home located in the highly desirable Good Hope Estates Neighborhood. You'll want to see this home ASAP because it will sell very quickly. The owners have recently refinished the hardwood floors on the main level and the upstairs bedroom level. They are spectacular. New carpeting has been laid in the attractive family room which has a cozy fireplace. There is fresh neutral paint recently applied throughout the interior of the home along with all new light fixtures and receptacles and HVAC vent covers. The door and closet knobs were all replaced with an attractive brushed nickel look. A new refrigerator, microwave and range hood were just installed in 2019 to match the other kitchen appliances that were installed in 2018. There is a beautiful Anderson Picture window facing the backyard in the spacious living room letting in lots of natural light, providing a great view of the deck and fenced back yard. There is also an Anderson sliding glass door allowing easy access out of the dining room area to the inviting deck and back yard with beautiful trees, perennials and and ideal storage shed with a loft, for extra storage. The bedrooms are all good sized and hardwood flooring just gleams. The Master bedroom has it's own walk-in closet and has window views out the back and side of the back yard areas. The bathrooms have had some new lighting installed and have ceramic tile flooring that is in good condition. The powder room off the lower family room level has plenty of space to add a shower, which many of these homes with the same floor plans have done over the years, which could provide 3 full bathrooms for the home. The huge laundry room off the family room, has a door out to the side of the home, where many owners of similar model homes have made this area into a 5th bedroom or home office as it has it's own entry at the ground level for someone who may be challenged by steps. The driveway has been resurfaced and there is a storage shed area at the far back of the driveway, adding privacy to the 1/4 acre yard. This is a great neighborhood with no HOA, but does have an active Civic Association that keeps the neighborhood in touch with other homeowners. Typically the Association has a 4th of July Parade down Aylesbury St. with a picnic at the Briggs Chaney Middle School and they arrange for the Burtonsville Fire Department Trucks, the Police and often local executives who join in the event. There is an annual Halloween get together at the Middle School where there are games and prizes for the costumes and just a fun get together for all who choose to participate. There is an optional $20. membership per year to be part of the Civic Association. Maydale Nature center is just blocks away and has programs for all ages and interests, from Bird Watching to weed pulling to catch and releasing fish in the local ponds. In addition there is another pond off Rainbow Drive that can also provide beauty and a children's play ground on Hopefield Road. Cloverly is the closest shopping center, plus the neighborhood Elementary plus Briggs Chaney Middle School which is right in the neighborhood, with fields and basketball and tennis courts that can be enjoyed when school is not i session. This neighborhood is part of the Northeast Consortium, so the parents of teenagers have their choice of Paint Branch, Blake, or Springbrook High School, as room allows. The school bus runs thru the neighborhood for both elementary and high schools. The middle school age children walk to Briggs Chaney Middle School as it is in the neighborhood. What a great place to call home and enjoy life.
