1118 Downs Dr, Silver Spring, MD 20904

Offer Deadline: Monday, April 20 at 10am! This is the kind of opportunity that rarely comes along -- a home with solid fundamentals, a prime lot, and the chance to create something truly your own. Set on a spacious, fenced 1/3-acre property in East Springbrook, it offers the perfect starting point for anyone ready to roll up their sleeves and unlock real value. From the outside, the advantages are immediate. A covered carport adds everyday convenience, while the storage shed keeps tools and gear tucked away. The expansive backyard feels like a blank canvas -- ideal for gatherings, gardening, or simply enjoying the extra space that’s hard to find at this price point. Inside, the home is ready for transformation. Each room presents an opportunity to reimagine and modernize, shaping the layout and finishes to match your vision. The walk-out basement is where the potential really shines—already positioned for expansion with the ability to add two additional rooms, a recreation room, and a full bath thanks to an existing rough-in. Whether you’re thinking about extra living space, a private suite, or a flexible multi-use area, the groundwork is already there. Yes, the home needs work and it’s being sold as-is - but that’s exactly where the upside lives. This is your chance to invest in improvements that directly build equity while customizing every detail along the way. The location adds even more appeal. Just 15 minutes from downtown Silver Spring and the Metro, you’ll have easy access to dining, shopping, and daily conveniences, along with a straightforward commute into surrounding areas. Nearby parks and open spaces round out the setting, offering a welcome balance of accessibility and room to breathe. If you’ve been waiting for a home where effort turns into opportunity, this is it.
