1321 Geranium is located on a low traffic street in the wonderful architecturally diverse Shepherd park neighborhood; situated in close proximity to Shopping, Restaurants, Rock Creek Park, the new Walter Reed Development and the Silver Spring Metro. (The current owners loved the convenience of being able to hop on the metro bus - on 16th Street or around the corner on Alaska Ave. - and commute downtown in a few minutes). Residents enjoy a straight route to downtown DC and quick/easy access North to Silver Spring /Montgomery County!
