Welcome to 9612 Dilston Road, a charming brick home in Silver Spring’s welcoming Oakview community, where warmth, character, and creative touches come together. Newly refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint give the main level a bright, move-in-ready feel, while beautiful custom details—including hand-painted Mexican tile and mosaic accents—add personality throughout the home. The inviting living room features a working fireplace with a distinctive carved-wood design and mantel, creating a cozy focal point and gathering space. The kitchen was opened up and renovated in 2020, creating a more functional and welcoming space with custom tilework and a convection oven. The main level also includes a versatile den, ideal for a home office, reading room, playroom, or quiet retreat. A stairwell off the kitchen leads to the fully finished basement, offering additional space for TV, games, recreation, or relaxing, along with a separate unfinished area featuring a workbench and plenty of room for storage or creative projects. Outside, the fully fenced 0.15-acre lot offers plenty of space to play, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors. A standout feature is the screened-in, heated gazebo, complete with electricity, creating a unique year-round space for outdoor dining, working from home, or gathering with family and friends. A thoughtfully planted pollinator garden with flowering trees and perennial plants adds beauty and attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Oakview is a friendly, diverse community with parks, trails, and recreational opportunities nearby. The extensive Northwest Branch trail system is accessible from the neighborhood, offering opportunities for walking, hiking, and biking. Roscoe Nix Elementary School is also within walking distance, and Ride On bus stops are conveniently located nearby. The home provides easy access to New Hampshire Avenue, the Capital Beltway, I-95, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. With a new roof, double-pane windows, a 2020 kitchen renovation, refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, distinctive architectural details, and spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining, 9612 Dilston Road offers a wonderful combination of comfort, character, and convenience.

Oakview, located between Sligo Creek Park and Downtown Silver Spring, is a residential and commuter-friendly Silver Spring neighborhood with leafy side streets and a trail-lined greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sligo Creek Trail crossing near Dennis Avenue, where joggers, cyclists, and dog-walkers stream past shaded picnic spots. Housing leans toward mid-century brick ramblers and Cape Cods, with tidy yards and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Daily rhythms orbit the park paths and nearby civic destinations rather than a single retail strip. For a cultural reset, AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center and The Fillmore Silver Spring anchor nights out nearby. The Silver Spring Transit Center adds a practical link to the region without changing Oakview’s calm, park-adjacent feel.
