offers requested by 3pm Tuesday June 15th. Chelsea Heights is intentional, efficient, and a better location does not exist. This community was delivered in 2015 by renowned local developer EYA homes, on land that ha: seen many uses over the years.
This site was originally the homestead of George Washington Riggs, a co-founder of Riggs National Bank built-in 1858. The prominent, restored mansion in the community is the summer home he built for his family on what was originally a rural estate in "Sligo" before Silver Spring was even named as a city outside of a young Washington DC.
The craftsman style throughout the community grants the homes a timeless and clean aesthetic that will always be architecturally significant and desirable. 19 Ellsworth heights was the model unit for this "Andrews" floorplan when the community was first delivered and offers outstanding options and finishes at a more accessible price point relative to the other layouts in the development.
The entire home is energy efficient and the community earned a LEED certification when delivered as a part of EYA's commitment to green building standards. The main level is bright and spacious with transom windows over the front and back door allowing for diffused natural light to permeate the space from sunrise to sunset. The hardwood floors are like-new and there is crown moulding + recessed lighting as well.
The kitchen has a functional and open layout with an oversized, deep stainless steel under-mounted sink, granite countertops, custom cabinets, and glass-tile backsplash to bring all the colors and design together. All appliances are stainless steel and have sleek and modern fixtures to match.
There is a deck off of the living room that has a gas grill and table space for convenience. There are 3 generous bedrooms all on the upper two levels of the home with ensuite bathrooms. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and private bath with over-sized double vanity, and a shower with frameless glass doors.
Laundry is on the bedroom level for convenience and the top floor of this home features three distinct and flexible spaces. The private roof terrace is a great space for enjoying the sunsets as it faces northwest and grants the owners a peaceful view of the community and parks nearby. The loft space is great for a play area or exercise space and a third bedroom is a great option for work from home or remote education. Additionally, there is bonus storage on the top floor and a second HVAC system to efficiently and comfortably enjoy the entire home year-round. The lower level features a 2 car garage with extra storage space as well as a half bath for guests to use.
