About This Home

As of May 2023

HUGE price adjustment for this rare find! Expansive and elegant, this five-bedroom, three full bath home - with a separate three-bedroom, 2,000 square foot apartment - is in the heart of vibrant and friendly Takoma Park! You’ll delight in the picturesque yard with its remarkable variety of mature plantings and stone pathways. This thoughtfully expanded craftsman-style home welcomes you in via an enchanting covered front porch, a gorgeous wood door with sidelights, and vestibule entry which separates the main house from the private apartment. Perfectly synthesizing function with luxurious modern living spaces, exquisite finishes, handsome moldings, skylights, custom millwork, replacement windows, and other superb architectural details throughout, this home offers a large dining room with crown molding, a picture window, built-in Bose speakers, and recessed lighting. The dining room opens to a beautifully renovated chef’s kitchen. This gourmet kitchen has granite counters, a center island breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, cavaliere range hood, a Bosch dishwasher, GE Profile convection microwave and wall oven, a warming drawer, glass front cabinetry with soft close drawers, GE Profile side by side refrigerator with an ice and water dispenser, separate ice maker, tile backsplash, a gas cook-top with low even heat, pull-out pantry, recessed and pendant lighting, and incredible prep and cabinet space. An inviting living room with a brick fireplace, custom built-ins, and a large picture window overlooks the back porch and magnificent stone hardscaping. Two bedrooms and two updated full bathrooms on the main level, including a primary bedroom suite with copious closet space, a bay window, black-out blinds and a private renovated bathroom with double vanity and water closet. The main level is complete with dual staircases and coat closets. Downstairs on the lower level there is a large family room with a fireplace, brick accent walls, recessed lighting, display shelving, and two closets. The lower level offers a further three additional bedrooms, a fantastic office, a full bathroom, a laundry room, and a huge storage room! Upstairs is the amazing legal three-bedroom apartment with a balcony. The apartment has a large light-filled living room / dining room area, separate full kitchen, a primary bedroom with a private bathroom and a walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, and a laundry closet. The unit has access to the front balcony and views of the gorgeous gardens. The home’s magnificent exterior is surrounded by a generously sized private yard featuring multiple “garden rooms,” delightful stone pathways, an assortment of colorful plantings, stone accents, and includes the front porch, balcony, a rear patio, a potting shed, and stunning landscaping – a true gardener’s paradise! This property has sidewalks and a private driveway.

Just steps to schools K-8, renovated Silver Spring Intermediate Park with sport courts and playgrounds, and within one mile of both Takoma and Silver Spring metros, you’ll enjoy living in eclectic Takoma Park; this location offers all the allure and convenience of this very special area situated near a Red Line Metro station and the farmer’s market. Takoma Park has a warm sense of community, and ready access to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in both Takoma Park and wonderful, vibrant downtown Silver Spring. See you there!
