About This Home

As of August 2025

SIMPLY ENCHANTING! This completely renovated 1928 Tudor is pure magic, seamlessly blending period charm with so many modern convenience. Nestled on a spectacular corner lot with lush, vibrant azaleas among other plantings, and filled with impeccable details, including pristine hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins, elegant wood trim, archways, and replacement windows, you'll feel right at home with the warmth and bevy of right-size spaces this home has to offer!

Step through the classic covered entry into a charming vestibule entrance with abundant, gorgeous wood and a deep closet, leading to the captivating living spaces within. The inviting living room features a wood-burning fireplace with stained-glass sconces, two ceiling fans, and an effortless flow into the dining area, sunroom, and open kitchen.

The beautifully and thoughtfully designed Chef’s kitchen boasts exquisite granite counters, rich cabinetry with soft-close drawers, a Bosch warming drawer, a pantry, a breakfast bar with pendant lighting, a marble tile backsplash, gas cooking, ample prep space, upgraded appliances, and radiant heated slate flooring. It opens seamlessly to both the dining area and the sunroom, creating a bright, open space ideal for entertaining. The sunroom also features heated flooring, as well as vaulted ceilings, and a ceiling fan.

The main level is home to a luxurious primary suite with soaring ceilings, a dressing area, and a spa-like bath featuring heated floors, a skylight, and a glass-enclosed shower with dual showerheads and stunning recycled glass tile. A stylish powder room with a copper vessel sink completes this level.

Upstairs, the second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, each with bamboo flooring and ceiling fans, as well as an updated full bath and a laundry closet. One bedroom also provides access to eaves storage.

The fully renovated lower level (2017) offers incredible versatility, featuring a spacious recreation room with recessed lighting and a Soapstone wet bar, sunlit office, fifth bedroom with access to insulated storage, a full bath, and a second laundry room.

Outside, the stunning 11,078-square-foot corner lot is a private oasis, bursting with mature plantings, including breathtaking azaleas that bloom so vibrantly each year that neighbors and visitors alike stop to admire them and take photos. A stone terrace, hardscaping, and storage shed enhance the outdoor space, while side off-street parking adds convenience. Additionally, the home is equipped with leased solar panels, providing an energy-efficient and eco-friendly benefit.

Ideally located just steps from schools K-8 and the recently renovated Silver Spring Intermediate Park with sports courts and playgrounds, this home is within one mile of both the Takoma and Silver Spring Metro stations. Enjoy the best of eclectic Takoma Park, with its strong sense of community, weekly farmers' market, and easy access to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in both Takoma Park and vibrant downtown Silver Spring. See you there!
