Converted Concert Hall Boasts Stained Glass Windows, Rose Garden

SILVER SPRING, MD — Few people can say they've lived in a converted concert hall. Now is your chance to call one home.

The unique residence is located inside the Capital Beltway — at the National Park Seminary (NPS) in Silver Spring. But before we dive into what makes this house so special, let's talk about the history of NPS.

Located in the Forest Glen area, NPS was a resort hotel from 1887 to 1893, a school for women from 1894 to 1942, and a U.S. Army medical facility from 1942 to 2004, according to NPS' website. Now, it's a residential community of single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and apartments.

Unit C1 on Dewitt Drive now boasts two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 4,185 square feet of living space.

Upon entering the home, you'll be greeted by 30-foot-plus ceilings, exposed wood beams, and stained glass windows. Because it's a converted concert hall, the space is perfect for family weddings, birthday celebrations, and other large-scale events.

The residence also includes three porches (one of which overlooks a private rose garden) and three assigned parking spaces.
