A 1938 Silver Spring Home With Enduring Character

The home at 9509 Garwood Street was built in 1938, a period when Silver Spring was establishing itself as one of the Washington region’s first true suburbs. That history is embedded in the bones of the structure — the proportions, the craftsmanship, and the relationship to the street that newer construction rarely replicates.

At 943 square feet across two bedrooms and one full bath, the floor plan is deliberate and efficient. Buyers who have grown accustomed to oversized spaces will find that this home rewards a different sensibility — one that prioritizes location, character, and value over square footage alone.

Garwood Street sits within the 20901 zip code, a Silver Spring address that offers straightforward access to the Red Line and the commercial corridors along Colesville Road and University Boulevard. Montgomery County’s parks, libraries, and civic infrastructure are close at hand.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the buyer in this transaction. If you are exploring similar homes in Silver Spring or the broader Montgomery County market, we welcome the conversation.

Pre-War Construction
The home dates to 1938, placing it among Silver Spring’s earliest residential stock. Pre-war construction in this corridor is characterized by solid framing, distinct architectural detailing, and a scale that feels grounded rather than speculative. Buyers drawn to older homes will recognize the difference immediately.
Efficient Floor Plan
Two bedrooms and one full bath are arranged within 943 square feet. The layout is straightforward, with no wasted circulation space. For buyers prioritizing location and value, the footprint is a practical entry point into an established Montgomery County neighborhood.
Silver Spring Address
The 20901 zip code is one of Silver Spring’s most accessible, with the Red Line reachable via the Glenmont corridor and everyday retail and dining options along nearby commercial streets. Montgomery County’s broader amenity network — parks, libraries, recreation centers — is within easy reach.
Buyer Representation
Wardman Residential at Compass represented the buyer in this transaction. Our team has worked extensively across Silver Spring and Montgomery County, and we are glad to share perspective on comparable homes and current market conditions for anyone considering a similar purchase.

Property Location

About 9509 Garwood St

The home at 9509 Garwood Street was constructed in 1938 and retains the structural character typical of Silver Spring’s pre-war residential development. The two-bedroom, one-bath layout spans 943 square feet, a footprint that reflects the era’s preference for well-proportioned, purposeful spaces. Single-family homes of this vintage in the 20901 zip code are increasingly sought after by buyers who recognize the value of established construction in a mature neighborhood.

Garwood Street sits within a residential section of Silver Spring that developed alongside the broader growth of Montgomery County in the mid-twentieth century. The surrounding streets are lined with homes of similar vintage, creating a cohesive block character that newer subdivisions rarely achieve. Local parks, neighborhood retail, and the commercial activity along Colesville Road are accessible without requiring a car for every errand.

Silver Spring’s 20901 zip code offers a balance of suburban scale and urban connectivity that defines much of Montgomery County’s inner ring. The Red Line provides a direct link to downtown Washington, making the commute to DC straightforward for those who use transit regularly. Local cafes, grocery options, and neighborhood dining are woven into the fabric of the surrounding streets, supporting a daily routine that does not depend entirely on the car.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

Homes built in 1938 in Silver Spring were constructed during a period of deliberate residential development, often with solid framing and architectural details that newer construction does not replicate. The 20901 zip code has a deep inventory of this vintage, and buyers who prioritize character and established neighborhood fabric tend to find strong value here relative to comparable DC addresses.
The Glenmont Metro station on the Red Line is the nearest station serving the 20901 zip code, providing a direct connection to downtown Washington and points along the Red Line corridor. Montgomery County Ride On bus service also operates in the area, offering additional transit options for daily commuters.
At $430,000, this two-bedroom, one-bath home represents a buyer-side transaction in a zip code where single-family inventory at this price point is competitive. The Wardman Residential team can provide recent comparable sales in the 20901 area to give prospective buyers a clear picture of current market conditions.
Pre-war homes in the 900-to-1,000 square foot range are common in Silver Spring’s established residential corridors, and the floor plans of that era tend to use space efficiently. Buyers accustomed to newer construction may find the proportions compact, but the single-family detached format provides separation and outdoor access that a similarly sized condo or row house would not.
The Colesville Road and University Boulevard corridors, both accessible from the 20901 zip code, offer grocery stores, pharmacies, and a range of dining and retail options. Montgomery County’s park system, including trails in the Sligo Creek area, provides outdoor recreation within the broader Silver Spring neighborhood.
This is a single-family detached home with no HOA or condo association indicated in the transaction record. Buyers should confirm the absence of any deed restrictions or community covenants through their own due diligence and title review.
Montgomery County operates its own property tax structure, permitting processes, and public services distinct from the District of Columbia. Buyers relocating from DC should account for differences in property tax rates, recordation taxes, and county-specific regulations. The Wardman Residential team has experience guiding buyers through the transition between DC and Montgomery County transactions.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has worked extensively across Silver Spring and the Montgomery County inner suburbs, with direct experience in buyer representation for single-family homes in established zip codes like 20901. Reaching out to the team is the fastest way to access recent comparable sales, off-market awareness, and advisory perspective on the current Silver Spring market.
