12220 Centerhill Street

Totally over-improved home for the neighborhood! Two studio apartments opening to deck in backyard provide over $2000 of rental income each month. Owner built a balcony with French doors to dining room of main house and the rear deck is large enough to host parties of 50+ people. Behind the deck in the back yard you have a cabana with a fireplace for chilly summer nights and fall get-togethers. Inside, the master has two walk-in closets, an electric fireplace and room for a king sized bed and office (two rooms were combined to make the sumptuous master). Upstairs there are two linen closets and the bathroom is black and white ceramic tile with a dramatic black tile floor. You can access the floored attic from the pull-down steps in the upstairs hallway. Lots of storage here. On the first floor, the kitchen was renovated during 2020-2022 with granite, stainless steel and lots of ceramic and upgraded cabinets. The living room, dining room and kitchen are open concept for entertaining groups. Shining blonde hardwood was installed throughout the first floor in 2010 replacing the original damaged hardwood floors. Around 2012, the unfinished basement was finished to provide a snack bar in the bedroom area (2 bedrooms, one with a walk in closet) and a full bath with a ceramic shower stall was installed. The rear portion of the basement was used to create a studio apartment with a bedroom and bath. The back of the first floor was partitioned off to create another studio apartment with a bedroom, full bath with a ceramic shower and a kitchenette. There are so many thoughtful touches in this home: decorative built-in shelving along the ceilings for pictures, CDs and DVDs, wine glass holder above the snack bar downstairs, exterior lighting along the brick walkway at the side of the house, wrought iron gate for security (to the back yard and apartments), producing apple tree in the front yard, long stick-built shed in the back yard for tool storage. No deferred maintenance here!

Come and see if this works for your new home in Silver Spring. And easy walk to bus stop, long walk but doable to both Glenmont and Wheaton metro stations.
