Description
A rare gem on coveted Dale Drive! This charming storybook Tudor features unique and beautiful original detailing combined with energy efficient updates, plus a large rear addition and attached garage. Upon entering, the soaring hall with flagstone floor and overhead turret reveals all 3 levels of the home in a unique architectural twist featuring an upper balcony overlook. The spacious and bright living area's original details include dual archway openings on either side of the oversized wood-burning fireplace, gleaming original hardwood floors and a vaulted cathedral ceiling with exposed beams - all of which opens onto an all-season Florida room with floor-to-ceiling windows looking onto the stone patio. Perfect spaces for entertaining or channeling your inner homebody. The newly renovated kitchen with Bosch stove and LED undercabinet lighting leads to the large dining room and offers a convenient second entry adjacent to the driveway and garage. Perfect for unloading the groceries. This level also features a bedroom and spa-like bath with radiant in-floor heating and lovely travertine tile surrounding a walk-in shower and oversized jacuzzi tub. On the upper level are two more bedrooms including the enormous, light-filled primary suite which features double closets and plenty of space for a home office plus dual sliders leading out to the newly refinished deck and a private screened porch overlooking the rear gardens and stone patio. The second upper level bedroom features two large windows bringing in plenty of light plus a unique adjacent second room that can double as closet, kid's hideout or whatever you can dream up. The nearly quarter acre lot is truly a park-like setting with mature plantings, dry-stacked stone walls and flagstone paving in front and rear. Even the window well has a stone wall surround. Updates include a brand new Navien high efficiency combination boiler and tankless hot water heater which provides instant hot water and radiant heat throughout the home, a newly renovated kitchen, and, in 2023, new washer and dryer and all new exterior drainage system. The primary bedroom and garage which can fit two cars tandem are additions to the home. Most of these homes don't have garages. 802 Dale Dr is perfectly located in the leafy quiet neighborhood of South Woodside Park just one block to Sligo Creek Park trails, tennis and playgrounds and a half mile to downtown Silver Spring and metro, Whole Foods, AFI Silver Theatre, The Fillmore, restaurants, and shopping. This home is perfectly situated and truly one of a kind. Open House Sunday October 20th, 1-4pm
