About this home
Extremely special and loaded with character, this tastefully renovated, unusually spacious home is perfectly positioned in Takoma Park, steps to three award-winning schools. Built by the original neighborhood builder as his own home - with larger room dimensions throughout - this sunny residence has been thoughtfully expanded and updated. Welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace flows into a lovely dining room. The heart of the home is a stunning, completely renovated chef's kitchen featuring a new white quartz breakfast bar, abundant custom cabinetry, stainless appliances; and a new addition for a window-surrounded breakfast room overlooking a treed private yard with a flagstone patio. Two main-level bedrooms paired with a beautiful white marble bath. The entire second floor was added by the current owner, featuring a large luxurious owner's suite with a gorgeous renovated bath and two walk-in closets, another bedroom and renovated hall bath, plus an extra flex space currently used as a sitting room - structured for easy conversion to a bedroom. The expansive lower level adds flexibility with a recreation room, a bedroom, a fourth full bath and an exercise/storage area. Lovely original hardwood floors throughout. Fantastic LARGE air- conditioned and heated attic! Landscaped yard with cherry blossom trees, dogwoods, cedars, flowers, an herb garden, stone patio and large shed. On a quiet cul-de-sac. Adjacent to the 17-acre Takoma-Piney Branch Park - which offers playgrounds, basketball courts, soccer field, public sculptures, wooded walking paths, dog park, skateboard park, and vibrant wildlife. Unbeatable proximity to three top schools - with a two-block walk to Takoma ES, Piney Branch ES, and Takoma Park MS. In-boundary for for the nationally recognized Blair High School. Beyond the home's comfort and warmth, enjoy a scenic, tree-lined five block walk to the Takoma Metro station and historic downtown Takoma Park with restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores and the farmer's coop. Short walk to the brand-new $15 million public library and community center, new tennis courts and community pool! Also a short walk to Sligo Creek Park and its ten miles of trails, bike paths and picnic areas.
