First Time on the Market in Almost 30 Years – Your Private Retreat in Burnt Mills! Tucked away on nearly an acre of land, this beautiful home feels like a peaceful escape while still being close to everything you need. Set back from the road, it offers the ultimate privacy so you can truly enjoy nature all around you. Inside, the home has been lovingly updated while keeping its classic charm. The big, open kitchen has plenty of space to cook and gather, with a large pantry and a sunny morning room bump-out that fills the space with natural light. Original hardwood floors run throughout the main level, giving the home warmth and character. The open dining room flows right into the family room, which has a wall of windows and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. There’s also a screened-in porch—a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening hangs. Plus, there’s a big, comfy family room with another wood-burning fireplace that could easily become a home office or cozy den. Upstairs, you’ll find four oversized bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The floors are carpeted now, but underneath are the original hardwoods, untouched and ready to shine. There’s even a whole-house fan that helps pull heating and cooling throughout the house. The fully finished basement is packed with possibilities. With tall ceilings, walk-out stairs, and a newly added full bathroom, this space is ready for whatever you need—home office, rec room, or both. There’s even a workshop for hobbies or extra storage. Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better! The house is close to the vibrant energy of downtown Silver Spring and D.C., just minutes from the FDA, White Oak Shopping Center, Four Corners, and Trader Joe’s. You’re also near parks, trails, and the neighborhood pool. For commuters, it’s a dream—only a few miles from D.C. with easy access to major routes like Route 29, I-495, I-200, Colesville Road, New Hampshire Avenue, and University Boulevard. Plus, it’s walking distance to multiple public transit stops that can take you to downtown Silver Spring and the Metro.
