The kitchen is ready for real life, anchored by a JennAir range with standout features including a built-in air fryer. Smart touches like Hunter Douglas electric blinds add a little everyday luxury. Radiator heat brings cozy charm throughout much of the home, with multiple thermostat zones for tailored comfort, while high-efficiency central AC (2024) serves the entire house.

Outside, the property offers a rare and delightful surprise: a trio of paw paw trees producing tropical-tasting fruit in the fall, like a hidden backyard bonus. And the location is just as special, with steps to the Sligo Creek trail and close to all the best of Silver Spring living, including the future Purple Line, a 1-mile walk to Metro, and Whole Foods.
Beautifully maintained and full of heart, 518 Ashford Road offers that rare mix of character, functionality, meaningful updates, and an unbeatable location in one of Silver Spring’s most cherished neighborhoods.
