Sligo Park Hills' tree-lined streets and beautifully landscaped gardens create a lovely setting for this classic Mid-Century Modern home. Nestled on a quarter acre lot and custom built for architect John E Lawrence, the home has a private, serene feel, with natural light streaming in. This gracious home offers four levels with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 renovated baths. The entry level has a foyer with a powder room, a study with a fold-out architect's desk, and the primary bedroom with a beautifully renovated bath and a walk-in closet. The upper level consists of three bedrooms (two with balconies), a linen closet and a hall full bath with double sinks. The third bedroom is currently used as an in-home office with beautiful custom desk and cabinetry. The ground level features an updated kitchen, opening to a dining room and living room. There are sliding glass doors to the rear patio and garden. Next to the living room (with wood burning fireplace), is a spacious family room with slate flooring and huge Pella windows overlooking the rear garden with mature trees and Azaleas. There is a lower level located near the kitchen that houses a laundry area, pantry, storage and utilities. From the family room, is the 2-car carport with a built-in shed. Beneath the carport there is a large artist studio, originally created to be a welding room. The secluded rear garden, perfect for entertaining, has a flagstone patio, a green house, and beautiful mature plants. All of this just a block away from Sligo Creek, a playground and bike trail. Minutes to downtown Silver Spring attractions and less than 1 mile from Takoma Park Metro.
