9407 Hale Pl, Silver Spring, MD 20910

Set on nearly three-quarters of a wooded acre in Silver Spring’s Linden Forest neighborhood, this 1890 4-bedroom, 2.5 -bath home is only now being offered by its third owning family — a rare chance to steward a property that has been loved and lived in for well over a century - and with a Seller 2 1 buy-down or a closing cost credit in lieu of that amount (a credit of $18,600!) allowing a buyer to have an interest rate in the low 5% range during their first year of ownership!! From the moment you arrive, the character of this home is unmistakable: an antique light post out front doubles as EV charging for off-street parking, hinting at the thoughtful blend of old and new found throughout. Inside, custom fixtures, original architectural details, ornamental fireplaces, and hand-painted murals tell the story of generations of care — this is a home with more soul than you’ll find almost anywhere else on the market. The main level centers around a cozy family room warmed by a wood-burning stove, ideal for curling up on cold winter nights, plus a full bath for main-level convenience. A rear living room addition — added by the current owners — opens up the back of the home with sweeping views of the wooded yard, flooding the space with light and a true connection to the outdoors. Central AC with a Nest thermostat keeps things comfortable and efficient year-round, blending modern-day ease with old-world charm. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and multiple skylights that flood the space with natural light. Two additional bedrooms also boast vaulted ceilings with lofted sleeping or office areas, while the fourth — a wood-paneled bedroom currently configured as a den — offers lovely views over the wooded rear yard and gardens. A second full bath completes the upper level. Step outside and the entertaining possibilities multiply: a huge deck and a screened gazebo make the most of the property’s mature wooded setting, perfect for long summer evenings with family and friends. Tucked on the property is a bonus artist studio, ready for its next owner’s vision — a studio, office, workshop, or creative retreat, the choice is yours. And best of all perhaps, this home is rich in character but not subject to historic designation, so future updates and renovations can move forward without added red tape. Homes like this — with this much history, this much land, and this much personality — rarely come to market. Welcome to 9407 Hale Pl!
