Seller’s Comments
Coffee shop of choice: Panera Bread - with their free wi-fi and huge selection of soups and sandwiches, it’s a great place to read or study. Since it’s in Downtown Silver Spring, there’s always Borders, Starbucks, and the Majestic (a 20-screen movie theater) in case the studying wears thin…
Favorite restaurants in the area: It’s a 10 minute walk to Woodside Deli for breakfast or Armand’s Pizza for lunch. Only a short drive or 1 metro stop away is Downtown: Mandalay (Burmese), Canyon Grill (similar to Houston’s, but better), Thai Derm, Mrs. K’s Tollhouse, Great Eggspectations, Baja Fresh, and the Shopping Mall.
Favorite places to go: American Film Institute (AFI) Theater - great seats, fantastic selection of new and indie movies, and they even serve alcohol!
Best features of the home: Location, location, location. 10 minute drive to NNMC Bethesda/NIH via the “back way” without ever getting on the beltway. 10 minute drive to WRAMC as well.
Favorite room: Toss-up - I love spending time in the kitchen (the new appliances and granite counter tops and all the space make it fun to spend time there), but I also love our upstairs office with its large window and great view of the city and the walking bridge. The deck is a nice place to hang out in the evenings.
Any remodeling since last sale price: Yes! The kitchen is almost entirely new - new hardwood floors, granite counters, stainless appliances. New carpet, new hot water heater, and a fresh coat of paint (interior) round out the improvements.
Most romantic spot: We really enjoy taking walks in our neighborhood all 4 seasons…it’s hard to pick one spot.
What’s in the neighborhood: Snyder’s Grocery store, Armand’s Pizza, and Woodside Deli are all within short walking distance. Only a 5 minute drive away are the Forest Glen Commissary, Silver Spring Cycles, and a FedEX Store. There’s also a small park with a playground, tennis courts, and basketball court just about 2 blocks away.
What I will miss the most: The location! Convenient to work, hike and bike trails, and good neighborhoods to explore on foot, while at the same time the metro allows easy access to the Mall, downtown DC restaurants and nightlife, and even the airport - it’s been great to fly in and out of Ronald Reagan National Airport without having to worry about finding or paying for parking or a taxi cab!
