About 517 Margaret Dr
Stunning and very large 5BD/3BA Cape-Cod home conveniently located between downtown Silver Spring and Takoma Park. The main level greets you with a light-filled entryway and refinished wood floors that open onto a living room with built-in shelves and a beautiful bay window. Adjoining that is an elegant dining room perfect for dinner parties and everyday meals alike. Beyond: a kitchen that conveniently opens onto both a breakfast nook against the back windows and an epic family room with more built-in shelves and a wood-burning fireplace. (Panoramic windows make you feel like you’re cooking, eating, and living among the trees!) Among the home’s spacious bedrooms is a marvelous primary bedroom suite with walk-in closet, spa-like bathroom (complete with skylight), and a landing that’s the perfect perch for a home office. The fully-finished in-law suite on the lower level includes a private entrance, bathroom, bedroom and living space. At 517 Margaret Drive, the fenced, tree-lined backyard has all you need for outdoor relaxation, including a verdant lawn, patio, garden space, and a wood-fired pizza oven. (The front yard is equally landscaped with native plants and trees.) And you’re just a short drive or walk from entertainment, amenities, and more in downtown Silver Spring and Takoma Park. Easy walk to the neighborhood schools, and about equal distance to either the Takoma Park or Silver Spring Metro stops. The world famous farmers Market is also just a short stroll away.
