240 WHITMOOR TERRACE, Silver Spring, MD 20901

Description

Back on the market and ready for its next buyer! Welcome to 240 Whitmoor Terrace, a charming 1946 Colonial on a quiet street in Silver Spring's sought-after Woodmoor neighborhood, thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and a finished walkout lower level sit on two deeded parcels totaling 15,760 sq ft (about 0.36 acres), including a private wooded ravine.

The main level is warm and inviting, with refinished original hardwood floors and recessed lighting throughout. Tall replacement windows fill the space with natural light. In the living room, a restored wood-burning fireplace with a new chimney cap, liner, and flue makes a warm spot to unwind on cooler evenings.

The fully renovated kitchen is the heart of the home: a comfortable spot to read, relax, and enjoy your morning coffee, with room for everyday dining right in the kitchen. It features new cabinets, quartz countertops, a backsplash, ceramic tile flooring, an island with a built-in outlet, and brand-new stainless steel appliances, plus an existing gas line available for conversion.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, offering flexibility for sleeping, a home office, or a nursery, and a fully renovated bathroom that pairs the original tub, beautifully reglazed, with a new vanity, toilet, and tiled floor.

The walkout lower level adds valuable living space for a gym, home office, or guest suite, complete with a kitchenette, a new full bath with walk-in shower, a new washer and dryer, new flooring, baseboard heat, and large storage closets.

The renovation went beyond the surface to the systems buyers of vintage homes usually inherit as problems: full electrical rewiring with a new oversized panel, whole-house PEX plumbing, and hardwired interconnected smoke alarms. Add leveled and reinforced kitchen and bath floors, a new AC system and water heater (2023), an architectural shingle roof with about 15 years of remaining life, and yards regraded to direct water away from the foundation, and you can move in and simply enjoy.

Outside, a maintenance-free Trex front deck overlooks newly landscaped grounds with cherry and crabapple trees, a magnolia, and butterfly and herb gardens. The true showstopper is the backyard: a large, level, partially fenced lawn made for cookouts, gardening, and play. A rear door off the living room is already in place for a future deck or patio, a popular addition among neighboring homes. From the lawn, brick steps descend into your own private wooded ravine and stream bank, part of the Anacostia River watershed, with Northwest Branch trails nearby leading to wooded hiking and a river walk to D.C.

Living in Woodmoor means being part of a welcoming community where neighbors know each other and traditions run deep, from the Fourth of July parade and Oktoberfest to holiday lightings and the much-loved Woodmoorstock music festival. Pine Crest Elementary is within the neighborhood, Eastern Middle and Montgomery Blair High sit on its edge, and St. Bernadette School is an easy walk away (buyer to verify school assignment). You're steps from the Woodmoor Shopping Center and Pinecrest Park, minutes from downtown Silver Spring, with easy commuter access to D.C. No HOA and ample on-street parking. Flexible settlement available.
