This single-family home is one-of-a-kind, surrounded by forest preserved by Montgomery County as an urban park. Built-in 1908, this home features 4 bedrooms and 2 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 house, 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, through which one can access the Metro at Forest Glen, public tennis courts, and a children’s playground.

Given the age of the house and the addition of the dormers, the house needs extensive repairs. A report by a licensed engineer who inspected the property is available for review.

The home is regarded as a contributing resource within an historic district, prior approval is required for changes to the exterior by the Historic Preservation Commission.

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!
