Executive Summary
Built in 1938, this two-bedroom, one-bath home on Garwood Street in Silver Spring brings together pre-war character and a well-established residential setting in Montgomery County. At 943 square feet, the home is compact and efficient, suited to buyers who value proximity to DC without the District’s price premium. The 20901 zip code places residents within reach of the Red Line, local parks, and the everyday amenities that define this corner of Silver Spring.
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.

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.
