About This Home

As of December 2024

Welcome to 7210 Spruce Avenue, an elegantly restored and expanded Craftsman-style bungalow. Originally built around 1923, this home has been thoughtfully renovated to merge timeless character with modern comforts. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the exquisite wood trim and custom built-ins to the LED lighting, hardwood floors, and delightful vintage touches.

The home welcomes you with a freshly-painted quintessential bungalow front porch, featuring a tongue-and-groove ceiling. Step inside to a handsome living room with woodburning fireplace, period lighting, and high ceilings, and a spacious dining room which opens seamlessly into the redesigned gourmet kitchen, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The chef’s kitchen boasts butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, a 5-burner gas range, floor-to-ceiling pull out pantries, a porcelain farm sink, pendant lighting, and soft close cabinetry. Beyond the kitchen, you’ll find a convenient ancillary kitchen with additional cabinetry, shelving, and counter space – the perfect spot to tuck away all your counter appliances and food supplies. Off the back of the house is a wonderful family room addition with excellent natural light, durable flooring, and LED lighting. The main level is completed by two bright bedrooms with ceiling fans and a renovated full bathroom featuring a claw tub and a heated towel rack.

Upstairs, the private primary bedroom retreat features display shelving, recessed lighting, sun tunnel skylights, a sitting area/office, a huge walk-in closet and serene treetop views. The remodeled primary bathroom has a glass enclosed shower with a niche and mini subway tiled walls, a heated towel rack, and decorative tile flooring. This level has a versatile and peaceful meditation / bonus room with two eave storage areas.

The huge unfinished lower level with lots of potential to finish out, this level includes a laundry area, and ample storage. The lower level has windows on two sides and an exterior entrance.
The classic exterior is equally captivating, showcasing a spacious, level yard adorned with mature trees, copper gutters, exterior lighting, and charming square lattice accents. The property also includes multiple exterior spigots and a long driveway for added convenience. Sidewalks and a quiet street with no through traffic enhance the appeal of this highly desirable block, in the heart of Takoma Park’s Historic District.

Enjoy living in eclectic Takoma Park; the location offers all the allure and convenience of this very special area situated just steps from parks and playgrounds, Farmer’s Market, the newly renovated food Co-op and shops, schools K-8, as well as the Red Line Metro station and Ace Hardware. Relish the warm sense of community as well as ready access to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. This neighborhood is known for its lively block parties, Halloween gatherings, and neighborhood meetups.
