Welcome to 803 Islington Street, a beautifully maintained brick home that blends timeless character with modern comfort, ideally located on a picturesque tree-lined street in downtown Silver Spring. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming front porch invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the vibrant neighborhood. Step inside and you’ll be instantly charmed by the gracious 9-foot ceilings, refinished hardwood floors and freshly painted walls throughout (2025), and the show-stopping original staircase with its detailed handrail—an architectural gem that sets the tone for the home. The sun-drenched living room offers incredible natural light and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, perfect for both quiet evenings and lively gatherings. Flow seamlessly into the generous dining room, ready for holiday dinners or everyday meals.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
