Old Meets New: Historic National Park Seminary Home Asks $850K

SILVER SPRING, MD — Few people can say they've lived on a historical 23-acre plot that once housed a resort hotel, a school for women, and a WWII Army medical facility.

The Power Plant at National Park Seminary (NPS) is a residential community of single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and apartments in Silver Spring. All homes are inside three interconnected historical buildings called the Power Plant, the Practice House, and the Fire House.

The Practice House — located at 2701 Hume Drive — boasts a large neoclassical portico and houses five modern-equipped units.

Unit 5 is on the market for $850,000. It has three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and 1,968 square feet of living space.

Upon entering the home, you'll be greeted a wooden staircase that leads to the breezy main level.

On the left is the kitchen — artfully designed to include white quartz countertops and reclaimed wood floors. To your right is the modern, yet cozy, living area.

The adjacent dining area leads to a beautiful balcony — the perfect setting for morning coffees breaks and summer lounging.

Other interior highlights include an office/den, a hall bath with twin floating vanities, and a spacious master suite with a walk-in closet and Kohler rain shower.
