About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 8118 Flower Avenue, a storybook 1923 bungalow tucked behind a lush privacy hedge of flowers in the heart of Takoma Park. This beautifully maintained home blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. A wide, welcoming front porch with a swing sets the tone, perfect for relaxing mornings or connecting with neighbors. Inside, the bright and airy living room features original wood floors, built-in shelving, and a classic wood-burning fireplace. The spacious dining room flows into an eat-in kitchen with a built-in circular breakfast nook and updated appliances—ideal for cooking and gathering. The main floor offers an additional space off the kitchen that can be used for a mud room, office, or storage. The upper level offers three cheerful bedrooms and an additional den, office, or nursery. The ample closet space makes storage a breeze. The updated full bath is conveniently located next to the bedrooms. The expansive lower level adds flexibility with a large recreation room, second full bath, and laundry area with abundant storage. Outdoors, enjoy a fully fenced, serene backyard with garden beds, a patio, and a shed. One off street parking spot is available along with plenty of street parking. Located just steps from Old Town Takoma, the Co-op, community favorites like Koma Cafe and Mansa Kunda, and near bus routes and the UM-Shuttle. Sligo Creek and Long Branch Trails are nearby for nature lovers. This is a rare opportunity to own a warm, character-rich home in a prime location—don’t miss it!
