Property Description

Perched on the top floor with a tranquil tree-canopy view overlooking Sligo Creek Park, this move-in-ready one-bedroom, one-bath co-op is a serene retreat of approximately 700 square feet — a home that feels both calm and considered from the moment you step inside. Unwind in the separate dining room, where generous afternoon sunlight filters through the trees just beyond the glass — made for slow coffees and lingering dinners. With plenty of room for a home office, daydream from your desk, watching Sligo Creek rush by below. Hardwood floors flow throughout to an oversized bedroom wrapped in soft morning light, a genuinely restful place to start and end the day. The newly renovated kitchen pairs crisp new cabinetry, countertops, and flooring with the cook's pleasure of gas cooking. The refreshed bathroom — new vanity, mirror, lighting, and fixtures — feels clean and modern. Fresh paint, all new outlets and switch covers, updated lighting and ceiling fans, and a brand-new 2026 air-conditioning unit mean there is nothing left to do but move in. The building itself has been thoughtfully maintained: a new boiler and hot-water system in 2025, and a 2018 capital program that brought a new roof, gutters and downspouts, double-pane windows, and copper plumbing and water lines to all 21 units — the kind of behind-the-walls investment that lets you own with confidence. Residents enjoy an assigned storage cage, a secure bike room, an app-managed laundry room, and included parking. One monthly co-op fee simplifies it all — covering heat, gas, electricity, water, sewer, air conditioning, trash, snow removal, maintenance, reserves, and the building's master insurance policy. (Annual property taxes of $1,133.28 are billed separately.) This is an owner-occupant community. Walk to shops, schools, Downtown Silver Spring, and the metro. Steps from your door: Sligo Creek Park and its miles of trails, tennis courts, and playgrounds, Ride On bus service, and the future Manchester Place Purple Line station — now under construction with service expected in Winter 2027 — placing the whole region within easy reach.
