Welcome to 1607 Ballard Street, a beautifully maintained brick Colonial set on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the beloved Woodside community. Thoughtfully cared for and improved over the years, this home offers a wonderful blend of classic charm, modern comfort, functional living, and inviting outdoor areas designed for everyday enjoyment and easy entertaining. A generous foyer welcomes you inside and opens to a bright, connected main level with comfortable living space and a kitchen that feels central to the home. With views of both the front and rear yards, the layout is ideal for gathering with friends and family. Custom Okna windows, installed throughout the home in 2020, provide exceptional insulation, improved comfort, reduced outside noise, and enhanced energy efficiency, along with a lifetime transferable limited warranty. Also on the main level is a versatile den that can function beautifully as a home office, dining room, guest space, or bonus room, complete with a full bathroom nearby. A generously sized utility room with laundry and additional storage rounds out the main floor. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with a spacious primary bedroom that offers a comfortable retreat at the end of the day. The second bedroom is well-proportioned, ideal for family, or guests, while the third bedroom is perfectly suited for a nursery, additional guest room, or work-from-home office. A second full bathroom conveniently serves the upper level, and a hall linen closet adds everyday functionality. Completing the upper level is a well-lit and easily accessible attic providing generous storage for seasonal items, keepsakes, and anything you want tucked neatly out of sight. The outdoor spaces are a true extension of the home. The landscaped front and rear yards have been carefully maintained and enhanced, including professionally assessed and pruned trees (2024), six tiered vegetable and flower garden beds along the side of the home, and new river stone landscaping with lawn restoration as part of a thoughtful water management and French drain system installed in 2025. The rear deck was expanded and updated with replaced deck boards in 2021, creating a comfortable setting for outdoor dining, relaxing, and entertaining. An outdoor television and custom-built wood TV cabinet, added in 2020, make the backyard an especially unique space for movie nights, sports, and gatherings, while a large outdoor shed provides excellent storage for gardening tools, outdoor equipment, and seasonal items. A brand-new fence was installed in fall 2025 and professionally sealed and stained in 2026, adding privacy and polish to the outdoor setting. Additional improvements include a new Bosch dishwasher installed in March 2021, replacement roofing on the rear house extension, updated recessed lighting and fresh paint throughout. Beyond the home itself, Woodside offers a warm and active neighborhood setting with year-round community events, including the April plant swap, June neighborhood picnic, Halloween trick-or-treating, and the Woodside Waddle 5K each November. The location is exceptionally convenient, just half a mile to the Silver Spring Metro, approximately . 4 miles to the new Silver Spring Recreation and Aquatic Center, and close to everyday favorites including Giant, Whole Foods, and some of the area’s most celebrated restaurants. With the future Purple Line Woodside station planned nearby and the Capital Crescent Trail expected following completion of the Spring Street bridge, this already convenient location is poised to become even more connected.
Woodside, located between Downtown Silver Spring and Sligo Creek Park, is a residential and commuter-friendly Silver Spring neighborhood with a leafy street grid and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Georgia Avenue–Colesville Road corridor by the Silver Spring Transit Center, where coffee counters, indie eateries, and sidewalk bustle set the pace. Landmark homes and deep porches line blocks near Woodside Parkway, giving the area a classic streetcar-suburb feel. The Fillmore Silver Spring anchors nights with touring concerts in a restored Art Deco setting. AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center adds repertory screenings and festivals in a marquee-lit classic cinema. Ellsworth Place and its food hall-style lineup keeps the daytime rhythm lively without feeling glossy.
