This stunning end-unit townhouse is the one you’ve been waiting for. Built in 2016 and LEED certified, this home delivers a rare combination of high-end finishes, thoughtful design, and an unbeatable location — all just steps from the very best that Downtown Silver Spring has to offer. As a coveted end unit, this 3-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home spans approximately 2,200 square feet and is flooded with natural light from oversized windows on three sides. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout every level, and the open-concept main floor is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, featuring gleaming quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous island with seating, and ample cabinetry. It opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas. A conveniently located powder room rounds out the main level. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms — each with their own full bathrooms — provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or family living. The finished basement is a standout feature: a versatile room wired with an integrated 5.1 Bose in-ceiling surround sound system that conveys with the home — perfect for movie nights, game days, or a private home theater experience. Head to the rooftop deck for your own private outdoor escape. Whether it’s morning coffee, evening cocktails, or weekend entertaining under the open sky, this space adds a dimension of outdoor living rarely found at this price point. Chelsea Heights is one of Downtown Silver Spring’s most sought-after communities, and this home puts you right in the heart of it. Whole Foods is just two blocks away, and the Farmers Market, boutique shops, and cafés line Ellsworth Drive just steps from your front door. The neighborhood’s entertainment options are equally impressive — The Fillmore, AFI Silver Theatre, and Veteran’s Plaza (home to outdoor concerts and seasonal ice skating) are all within easy walking distance. Ellsworth Park and Dog Park are also across the street, and a thriving restaurant scene means a great dinner out is never more than a short stroll away. The Silver Spring Metro (Red Line) is less than a 10-minute walk, with MARC commuter rail nearby and the future Purple Line station just a few blocks away. Whether you’re heading into DC or around the region, this location makes leaving the car behind an easy choice.
