About This Home

Welcome to 9920 Capitol View Avenue—where timeless character, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional location create a home that is both inviting and functional.

Nestled beneath mature trees on a beautifully landscaped lot in the Capitol View Park Historic District—Montgomery County’s first designated historic district—this well-maintained four-bedroom, two-bath home offers three finished levels of comfortable living. Located in Silver Spring’s 20910 ZIP code along the Kensington border, the property provides convenient access to the charm of Downtown Kensington while benefiting from Silver Spring’s comparatively lower property taxes.

Natural light fills the welcoming living room, which features hardwood floors, recessed lighting, custom built-ins, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining dining room is ideal for everyday meals and entertaining, with access to an elevated rear deck overlooking the backyard and patio.

The updated kitchen offers Silestone quartz countertops, warm wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and direct access to the outdoor living spaces.

The flexible floor plan includes a main-level bedroom and full bathroom—perfect for guests, a home office, or convenient one-level living. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with abundant closet space, along with a second full bathroom.

The finished lower-level bonus room is well suited for a recreation room, media room, home gym, or playroom. An oversized utility and workshop area provides exceptional storage, workspace, and potential for additional finished living space.

Major improvements include replacement of all interior plumbing lines, a two-year-old air-conditioning system and water heater—with applicable warranties conveying to the new owners—and updates to the exterior chimney. A one-year American Home Shield home warranty will also be included for the buyer.

Outside, enjoy an elevated rear deck, private patio, mature trees, and lush landscaping that create a peaceful backyard retreat.

The home is located less than half a mile from the historic 1891 Kensington MARC Station, providing commuter service to Washington, D.C. It is also just blocks from Downtown Kensington, Antique Row, the Saturday farmers market, BabyCat Brewery, Johnson’s Florist, Old Town Market, Continental Pizza, Safeway, parks, shops, and restaurants. The Forest Glen Metro station is approximately 1.5 miles away, with Ride On bus service nearby.

Residents enjoy a strong sense of community through annual events such as the Labor Day Parade, Model Train Show, neighborhood picnics, and activities hosted by the Kensington Volunteer Fire Department. The home is also served by highly regarded Oakland Terrace Elementary School.
