12806 GAFFNEY ROAD

SILVER SPRING, MD20904

Tucked away on a private, beautifully landscaped 1-acre lot, 12806 Gaffney offers a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful updates, and everyday comfort. Surrounded by mature plantings, flowering trees, native landscaping, and abundant wildlife, the backyard feels like a true garden retreat with a serene frog pond, fire pit, fenced open space, and a sparkling pool with a new liner and pump in 2026. Mature azaleas, oakleaf hydrangeas, maple and magnolia trees, and seasonal banana trees create a lush, layered setting that feels peaceful and wonderfully private. Inside, oversized Pella casement windows and four light tubes fill the home with natural light throughout the day. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, a tiled backsplash, oak flooring, a gas stove, new 2026 microwave, and a beautiful picture window overlooking the pond. Warm hardwoods run throughout the home, including resurfaced oak floors upstairs, oak flooring in the kitchen, and rich hickory floors on the lower level. Designed for comfort in every season, the home offers a Carrier Infinity high-efficiency HVAC system with heat recovery and UV air purification, a whole-house Generac 16kW natural gas generator, and two wood-burning fireplaces. The bathrooms add an extra touch of luxury with heated floors and a towel warmer in the main bath. A spacious lower-level bonus room provides flexible space for a gym, office, playroom, craft room, or additional storage. Recent improvements include a new 2026 HDZ architectural shingle roof with all-new sheathing and a transferable warranty, interior repainting in 2025, a pool liner and pump in 2026, fresh garage epoxy flooring, a resurfaced driveway, and beautifully maintained landscaping. The property was also accepted into the Montgomery County RainScapes program in 2022, with backyard improvements including berms, conservation landscaping, a stormwater garden, freshwater pond, French drain installation, and native pollinator plantings. Set in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with a strong sense of community, the home is just a five-minute walk to the Rachel Carson Greenway and Northwest Branch trail system, with miles of scenic trails leading toward Brookside Gardens. Enjoy the feeling of being tucked into nature while remaining minutes from Metro access, the Beltway, Route 200, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Private, peaceful, and beautifully maintained, this is a special home where nature, comfort, and convenience come together.
