About This Home
Come see this solid all-brick post-war colonial just minutes from downtown Silver Spring. Tucked into the quiet, established community of Highland View, the home boasts a lovely fenced yard(.18 acres).This classic colonial features 3 generously sized bedrooms and 1 full bathroom upstairs, with a convenient half bath on the main level. The main floor offers a traditional layout with a living room (complete with a wood-burning brick fireplace), separate dining room, kitchen, and family room or office. Original hardwoods run throughout much of the home, and charming period details remain.While the home is solidly built and full of character, it needs updating and offers an excellent opportunity to customize and add your personal touch. The kitchen and bathrooms are ready for a refresh to match your vision while keeping the 1940s charm. The lower level features an unfinished basement with over 800 sq ft to finish to suit your needs. The garage on the lower level is currently used as a storage room but can easily be converted back to a functional garage. Located in a prime Silver Spring spot, the home is within walking distance to downtown, steps from the future Purple Line metro stop, and close to the weekly Farmer’s Market, shopping, restaurants, Whole Foods, movie theaters, top-rated schools, and major commuter routes.This is a wonderful opportunity to own a charming piece of Silver Spring history on a quiet, tree-lined street. Come put your own shine on this solid brick colonial!
