Property Description
The renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, a new gas range (2025), new refrigerator (2024), dishwasher, recessed lighting, and bar seating, opening to sun-filled living and dining spaces with original hardwood floors, crown molding, and a fireplace. A main-level bedroom with built-in bookcases and an adjacent heated sunroom with its own half bath provide flexible space for a home office, studio, or reading room.
Upstairs, three bedrooms share two full baths, including one with an updated guest bath. The finished lower level adds a family room with new decorative ceiling, a half bath, laundry room with new high-efficiency washer (2020) and dryer (2022), and walk-out access to the driveway. Functional one-car garage and storage shed. Off-street parking.
This home has been extensively and carefully maintained. Major updates include: new roof (2017), new furnace (2020), new water heater (2024), blown insulation throughout with attic sealing and ventilation baffles (2018), structural beam professionally evaluated and reinforced with metal hangers (2018), French drain and land regrading (2019), modern LED fan/light fixtures throughout (2025), new PVC decorative basement ceiling (2025), luxury vinyl flooring in basement and laundry (2020), exterior woodwork repaired and repainted (2023), and new attic flooring and access (2018). Gas line and electrical corrections completed 2025.
The property sits elevated on a hill with low flood risk and lovely views of the surrounding parks and trails. The front porch has space for many people to lounge and is one of the most commented-on features of the home; it faces the Japanese maple and the neighborhood's mature tree canopy, and street noise from Brunett is barely noticeable. The backyard offers a shaded patio with a decorative herb garden accessible to the kitchen, mature trees, and a tire swing installed by professional arborists. Retaining walls are both structural and functional for gardening.
617 Lycoming sits on a no-through-traffic street in North Hills, one of Silver Spring's most walkable and community-oriented neighborhoods. Walking distance to six parks, Sligo Creek trail for walking, biking, and running, Acorn Hill Waldorf school, a neighborhood corner store, and a barber shop. A bus stop sits at the foot of the street, with easy access to Metro, I-495, and major commuter routes. 30-minute non-rush-hour drive to downtown DC and all three major airports (BWI, Dulles, Reagan).
The neighborhood has an unusually active and welcoming community culture: annual summer block party, seasonal festivals, multiple community gardens and Little Free Libraries, an active Civic Association, and a weekly food truck at the park across Brunett. A native plant neighborhood garden was installed on the public land directly across from the home in 2025, led by Lycoming residents and the North Hills Civic Association.
