Welcome to 2311 Michigan Avenue, a delightfully unassuming, 3 BR/3BA home, with wood floors, front porch, back deck, and a deep level lot. At first glance, this charming home may seem like a cozy cottage, but step inside, and you’ll be amazed--this 3-level home is nearly 2,850 sq. ft. of untapped potential. The main level has a combination LR/DR, a gas FP, a large kitchen that opens to the deck, 2BRs and 1BA. The upper level is a primary suite BR w/BA, and extra large closet/storage space. There is also an attic space. The lower level has a full BA, storage space, W/D, and opens to the backyard. Situated on a flat and expansive 7,500 sq. ft. lot, this property is a true hidden gem with endless possibilities. Though modest in appearance, this older, well-built home offers a solid foundation for your vision. Whether you’re looking to live in, modernize, renovate, or reimagine the space, this is a golden opportunity to maximize value. Plus, with rental income potential—whether through traditional renting or by adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)—this property can become a true money-maker. The home is in a historic neighborhood and is close to arts and entertainment, minutes to Downtown Silver Spring; has easy access to public transportation via the Metro, and is a quick commute to DC via connector, major roadways, shopping, dining, and urban green spaces. Also located near commercial and transportation hubs, the investment potential here is undeniable. This is more than a home—it’s an opportunity. Don’t let its exterior fool you; inside, this house delivers space, comfort, and financial upside.
Strong property value growth in keeping with Silver Spring's consistent appreciation in home values; the demand for housing and proximity to job centers in DC, Bethesda, and Northern Virginia; and the potential for additional income make this the right choice. Think multigenerational!
