About This Home

As of December 2023

Welcome to this charming 4B 2-1/2 b Split-Level home in the sought-after neighborhood of Franklin Knolls, conveniently located near the intersection of University Blvd and Franklin Ave. A prime location literally next street to the Beltway and just minutes away from downtown Silver Spring. Also, a walking distance to Montgomery Blair High School.
This residence is very well maintained and offers an ideal blend of space, comfort, and elegance. All the rooms have beautiful windows and are filled with natural light and French doors leading to the backyard.. As you enter through the front door, you will be greeted by a spacious living room with a beautiful hardwood floor. The kitchen is simply elegant with tiles that wrap around the foyer, creating a combination of warmth and inviting ambiance.
The lower levels offer a variety of functional spaces and utility, including a dedicated family room and a bedroom that may also serve as an office. The laundry room is clean and well lit, with a side door for the exit. The unfinished basement below the family room is spacious and offers a blank canvas for customizing the space of one’s dream. Upstairs on the fourth level are three bedrooms, two of which are en-suite.
A large, landscaped and fenced backyard is definitely a peaceful retreat for relaxation and outdoor activities, a place where kids and pets can play safely. And the proximity to the vibrant downtown Silver Spring, with its diverse dining options, entertainment, and shopping opportunities, is additional convenience enjoyed by residents.
For nature lovers, there are plenty of trails close by to choose from, for hiking or biking or walking your dog, such as Sligo Creek Parkway, or Nothwest Branch.
There’s easy access to transportation in every direction, and the nearby, upcoming purple line will only add to the public transportation routes for Franklin Knolls residents, especially for East-West trips.
