About This Home
As of December 2022WELCOME. Welcome to 721 Gist Avenue— on a beautifully tree-lined street in a quaint and quiet neighborhood. This bungalow home with cheerful interior, large porches, and pretty landscaping has been thoughtfully renovated in keeping with its history, and updated into the modern era. Parking is never an issue for this home with its expanded driveway— along with street parking. The main house has two kitchens, two living rooms, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Use the house as a single-family home or two separate dwellings. But that’s not all...
STUDIO/GARAGE. This house also includes a separate contemporary two-story professionally-designed Studio/Garage. With full-bathroom, large loft, heat and ac, on-demand hot water, upgraded power, panoramic sliding doors, and automatic bi-fold garage door, it is perfect for use as a pottery/art studio or office— or it can be converted to an apartment for extra income or in-laws. The Studio/Garage adds 440 sq ft of additional above-ground living to the generously sized multi-level house.
GREAT LOCATION. This home is centrally located to DC, Northern VA, and Baltimore. Public Transportation of all kinds is easily accessible. Both the Silver Spring and Takoma Park Metro stations are just a mile away. Take a walk or quick drive to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Anything you want, need, or could have ever imagined is right there for you. Enjoy trails and relaxation in Sligo Creek Park and Rock Creek Park— only minutes away.
NOTE: This Studio/Garage is a rare find in a county where adding an accessory building is complicated, stressful, costly, and time-consuming. Fortunately we have gone through the pain of doing this for you. (2 years of stress, changing codes, escalating prices, persnickety inspectors, torn up yard, and so on.)
