About This Home
As of October 2024Situated on a wooded bluff overlooking Sligo Creek Park this cul-de-sac home is a hidden gem that most that pass by and are not aware of. The park with miles of trails along the creek is just a few steps away, and you are in the City of Takoma Park, not unincorporated Silver Spring! This home has interesting contemporary architecture and offers 3 levels of finished space including a walk-out to level basement. With 4BR 3.5BA it's a good-sized home with room to spread out! Entertaining is easy here with a custom tiled entrance hall with a half-bath, leading to a large open plan dining room with lots of custom cabinets for many dining sets, recipe books, and a step-down living room with a wood-burning fireplace and sliding doors to a balcony with tree views. All-new oak hardwood is featured in the dining, living, and kitchen rooms. The kitchen corian countertops and white cabinets gleam and recent appliances including a dual gas/electric oven and large refrigerator present a good working triangle with lots of counter space. There's a delightful breakfast nook here beside the window with a flower box.
As you climb the stairs to the top floor, note the new hardwood treads and the convenience of a washer/dryer tucked away off the upper hallway that is flooded with light from a skylight window. The extra-large owner’s suite is very special, with a cathedral ceiling, and an updated en-suite, marble-tiled bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower, and very own private deck - set in the trees. Morning coffee on days off just got better here. The floors here are new oak hardwood and the paint is new throughout the house. There's a new ceiling fan light and there are ceiling fans in the kitchen, living room, and all the upper bedrooms). There are two wall safes in the rear of the owner-suite closet. The two other well-sized bedrooms have new carpeting and an unusually large amount of closet space. The upper hallway and all bedrooms have custom bookshelves. Many more custom-built shelves are on the main and lower levels! If you love books, you will want this house! There's also another updated upper-level hall bathroom with a tub/shower. Step downstairs to the rear patio level and there is a full bath with tub/shower, a 4th BR/Office leading to a separate side entrance (in-law suite potential), and a big Recreation Room with more custom shelving and a level walk-out to the lower-level patio via sliding glass doors. There's a utility room with additional refrigerator/freezer and storage shelving. A spacious wooden deck off the main level is ready for your next BBQ or birthday party.
There's parking for 2 cars under the front carport and another 3rd car to the left of that, and you can add a couple more in the driveway for parties. A big storage shed is usefully placed at the back of the carport, and there is an enclosed structure for trash cans across the driveway. Economical gas heating is combined with electric Central Air Conditioning and the water heater is almost new. This is a low maintenance treed yard with no grass cutting needed - just once a year leaf cleanup. The park below us an extension of your yard! Stroll to the entrance of the cul-de-sac and you are in Sligo Park with miles of trails, yet you can walk to Takoma Park City Town Hall and Library. Schools are nearby. Takoma Metro Station is a little over a mile away, along with Old Town restaurants and shops. It's a short trip to Silver Spring Whole Foods and restaurants too. This home is an easy commute to downtown Washington, DC, the University of Maryland, Washington Adventist University, the I-495 Beltway, and I-95, along with all points in Bethesda.
This striking and unusual home has been carefully updated by the original owner who is ready to pass it to a new owner who loves a setting in nature with the convenience of close-in living and great neighbors. It's a must-see! Open Houses Friday 9/6 6 pm to 7:30 pm, Sat., 9/7 2-4 pm, Sunday 9/8 1-4 pm
