An Enduring Love Story in the Heart of Calverton
Every home has a story, but some feel more like a love letter--written not in words, but in decades of care, craftsmanship, and quiet devotion. Tucked into the tree-lined serenity of Calverton, one of Silver Spring's best-kept secrets, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been the setting of a 30-year love story. Now, it's ready for its next chapter.
Calverton is a secluded suburban enclave--peaceful, green, and tucked away from the bustle--yet just moments from the best of the region. With easy access to Route 29, the ICC, I-95, and the Beltway, you're close to everything while still enjoying the calm of a no-through-traffic neighborhood where you can hear the birds and see the stars. Hospitals, shopping, recreation centers, and top-rated schools are nearby, as is the Calverton Neighborhood Conservation Area, a cherished green space just a block away on Shanandale Drive, perfect for peaceful strolls and community connection.
Inside the home, the love is unmistakable. Refinished oak hardwood floors gleam underfoot, complemented by fresh paint throughout. The kitchen is the warm heart of the home, featuring custom maple cabinetry, new quartz countertops, a sunny breakfast nook, and a top-of-the-line LG refrigerator. A large dining room opens seamlessly into the custom sunroom, clad in cedar siding and Douglas fir beams, with gas heating for year-round enjoyment.
The living room is anchored by a deep bay window where the owners have lovingly raised flowers and plants, while the adjacent den--wrapped in windows on three sides--offers cozy winter evenings by the wood-burning fireplace, with floral views in every direction.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generously sized, with full closets and bright windows--no small rooms here. The primary suite features a custom-tiled shower and its own deep linen closet, matched by another large linen closet in the hallway.
The newly renovated basement spans over 1,000 square feet and includes a finished fourth bedroom, a rough-in for a fourth bathroom, a spacious rec room/family room, a full workshop complete with samples from past custom refinishing projects, and major utility upgrades: a 50-gallon hot water heater, two-tier energy-efficient HVAC with gas backup, and attic fans for added efficiency. Thoughtful storage solutions are found throughout the home, including multiple attic spaces.
Step outside to a garden oasis: a covered front porch, private rear patio, mature herb gardens, lush side yards, and a thriving Concord grapevine that yields sweet grapes in late summer. Black-eyed Susans are in full bloom, and lavender along the walkway welcomes guests with a gentle, fragrant breeze. In the backyard, a freshly painted 100 sq ft shed and an oversized one-car garage offer room for storage and DIY projects alike.
This is the furthest thing from a flip. It's a home that has been cultivated and cared for, with smart renovations, timeless custom features, and space to grow. The owners are retiring and moving on from their cherished home--but what they've built here is something truly rare: a house that feels like it was loved into existence.
Come experience the colors, the quiet, the community--and maybe, just maybe, fall in love.
