The McMansions in East Silver Spring
December 11th, 2007 Categories: New Construction, Silver Spring Neighborhoods
This post was inspired by a another local blogger www.ThayerAvenue.com who posted about a ginormous McMansion going up in East Silver Spring on Thayer Avenue.
Most of East Silver Spring still has “normal sized” older houses. The few McMansions or new infill construction 
that we do have REALLY stand out.
One example on Easley street is the “McMansion with no windows” It started out as a small bungalow home built in 1928 between 2 other similar houses. The home had a larger and deeper than average lot size of 12,180 sq ft.
It was torn down sometime ago and remained a big watery mud hole with trash and debris in it for a few years. I once walked by the lot and noticed they were still getting junk and other mail delivered to 701 Easley, it was strewn all over the front of the mud hole. While it was still just a hole, it caused a lot of concern and complaints from the adjoining neighbors and the neighborhood in general.
I though they’d never build anything there. Then all of a sudden a huge foundation went up this past year. The picture does not do it justice – it is ENORMOUS. Can’t wait to see what it will look like when it’s finished. It will certainly stand out amongst the small old bungalows on that street.
A tasteful newly constructed infill home was completed recently just down the way at 608 Deerfield in East Silver Spring – McNeills Subdivision. The lot was a little over 7,000 square feet and an old garage at the back of the vacant lot was the only thing torn down to build the house.
This house sold for $1,191,064.00 ( one million, one hundred ninety one thousand and sixty four dollars ) and settled less than 3 months ago. I think this NEW house just “nails it” for a perfect fit with the neighborhood character of East Silver Spring.
Check out the Listing and Interior Photos Link for 608 Deerfield Avenue, Silver Spring, Md 20910.
Some Gigantic Monster Houses have gone up or are going up in some older Silver Spring neighborhoods, for instance this one on Randolph Road. There is a Monster Palace on New Hamphire Avenue in Hillandale and a Giant House going up in Woodmoor just past the Woodmoor Shopping Center going North on Colesville that you just can’t miss when driving out that way. Sligo from Silver Spring Singular has posted a few blogs about McMansions in Silver Spring. I liked this post about Mc Mansions by a local blogger. Dan Reed (Our future architect/Urban Planner) from Just Up the Pike writes about them all the time and Silver Spring Daily Photo has a lot of photos of McMansions in and around Silver Spring.
So, How do you feel about McMansions in Silver Spring? What’s your opinion? Want more? Want less? Want Larger? Smaller? or just don’t care?

Silver Spring, Md East Silver Spring Proposed Residential Development
February 12th, 2007 Categories: New Construction, Silver Spring Condos, Silver Spring Neighborhoods, silver spring real estate
Proposed Condo/Apartment Building at 814 Thayer Avenue – Currently an Office Building (Accross from Silver Spring Towers Apartments) will be a 5 story 52 Unit Residential Building – Units will be 1 or 2 Bedroom – Some will have a mezzanine. Expected Prices are to be less than $450,000. The developers are not sure how many or if any units will be for rent. The designers are considering the location as a “transistional site” between the commercial buildings of Fenton Street Village and the adjoining residential area. The building facade along Thayer Ave. will be pointed, with extensive glass panelling, the building will be set back from the street, and have a small plaza featuring chess tables, plus trees & ornamental plants. The current building on the site was once home to the National Association of the Deaf & the National Association of the Deaf and Blind, to commemorate this the new building will have Braille on the exterior surface, plus other tributes to these associations. There will be only be 37 parking spaces for this Building. This Building design is Conceptual and not Final, at this time. The East Silver Spring Citizens Association heard about this proposed development at their January Meeting.
For the February meeting the East Silver Spring Citizens Association will hear from the 
Attorney for the developers of the site on the southeast corner of Silver Spring Avenue and Fenton Street. (currently a Parking Lot – Just a block away from the 814 Thayer Ave Site) There is a 94 Unit Residential Project proposed. This project will be either Condominiums or Apartments. Residents in East Silver Spring have some valid concerns about traffic and parking, in and around an already busy, crowded, way too narrow Fenton Street.

Proposed Subdivision in Silver Spring-Woodside 1.43 Acre Lot – 6 Homes
November 3rd, 2006 Categories: New Construction, Silver Spring Neighborhoods, silver spring real estate
An Old Elegant Dutch Colonial Built in 1912 sits majestically on an elevated circular site, surrounded by old fragrant pine trees and a stone retaining wall. The grounds are abundant with mature trees including an old giant sized magnolia. The house is vacant and overgrown and suffers badly from deferred maintainence, but still retains the charm of a bygone era. It appears that at one time the house had a circular driveway coming in from edgevale road and going out to Watson Road. The Plans are to raze the old house and build 6 new houses. The Address is 9206 Watson Road, Silver Spring, Md 20910 Off of Dale Drive near Colesville Road.
