Welcome to 803 Islington Street, a beautifully maintained brick home that blends timeless character with modern comfort, ideally located on a picturesque tree-lined street in downtown Silver Spring.
From the moment you arrive, the welcoming front porch invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the vibrant neighborhood. Step inside and you’ll be instantly charmed by the gracious 9-foot ceilings, refinished hardwood floors and freshly painted walls throughout (2025), and the show-stopping original staircase with its detailed handrail—an architectural gem that sets the tone for the home.
The sun-drenched living room offers incredible natural light and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, perfect for both quiet evenings and lively gatherings. Flow seamlessly into the generous dining room, ready for holiday dinners or everyday meals.

This detached gem features a spacious work area, dedicated meeting space, half bath, and an airy loft—ideal for artists, remote work, guest overflow, or even your next great business idea.
In addition, the home includes leased solar panels, helping reduce your energy bills while supporting a more sustainable lifestyle.
