10245 Capitol View Avenue
Silver Spring, Maryland

Built circa 1893 by builder/architect Alexander Proctor, this original two story square frame home was purchased by Mary and Oliver Harr who were the developers and subdividers of Capitol View Park. The property changed hands several times before the Dwyer family made its' purchase back in 1935. This historic home has been meticulously restored and brought up to today's living standards by Macon Construction who spared no detail! The reclaimed heart pine flooring is absolutely gorgeous. The original banister to the second level is spectacular. Please take note of the mahogany tongue and groove covered front porch and "Ipe" plantation grown teak decking on the side porch - both featuring tin roof overhangs. Eleven of the original windows were able to be saved. The level of craftsmanship is superior throughout. This home offers a gorgeous top of the line table space kitchen with granite and Jenn Air appliances. Gas fireplaces can be enjoyed in the cozy first floor library and the added first floor family room - both with customs bookshelves. There are a total of five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two half baths throughout. The lower level offers high ceilings throughout and features a gorgeous octagonal office space surrounded by windows overlooking the back yard.
