About This Home
As of August 2024This is truly a very unique property. Set back from the street and nestled behind a thick green screen of trees, you would never know this private oasis is just off Ethan Allen Avenue. Enter from the curving driveway to behold a charming expanded stucco cottage with Tudor touches, set within an enchanting picturesque garden. The house offers views of nature from every window, and with 15 skylights is filled with magical sunlight moving through the house throughout the day. The lot, with a separately deeded second lot( #161303179187) goes all the way through to Boyd Avenue in the rear. The original house has been expanded and altered over the years to create over 4,000 sq.ft. of expansive multi-functional spaces throughout. Enter from the garden level through French doors into a sunroom foyer with tile floors. The spacious living room features three skylights and a soaring vaulted ceiling. Off the living room is a flex space that currently is used as an artist studio: it could be a garden potting room/ sunroom/office or playroom! The large light-filled kitchen features abundant cabinets and counters, custom decorative tile, a center peninsula with cooktop and vegetable sink, skylights, and a recent fridge: perfect for the cook in your family! The kitchen leads to a large dining room with vaulted ceilings and skylights. Both the kitchen and dining room open to the deck through sliding glass doors. An owner's bedroom with walk-in closet, and ensuite bath with jetted tub is on this level and also communicates with the deck through glass doors. The large private deck refinished 2024, leads to steps down the rear yard to Boyd Avenue. There is an additional bedroom and renovated full bath on the main level, a laundry room off the dining room with tons of built-in storage for your convenience and a flex room currently used as an office. The upper level features a second owner's suite with a full bath and vintage claw foot tub. The lower level features a large family room with glass doors to the exterior. There are two more very large bright bedrooms with ample closets, a private patio, a second kitchen, and a full bath. This unit is currently licensed to be an ADU rental. A separate entrance allows use as an income producing unit, an in-law or au-pair suite, or more family space, as your needs dictate.
The yard is simply delightful. Teeming with well-established perennials, flowering and fruit trees, it offers a year-round oasis. Featured plantings include red bud, crape myrtle, bearded iris, peonies, dahlias, flowering quince, viburnum, figs, persimmon, a raspberry patch and more. There are raised organic garden beds, two sheds with brand new roofs for garden storage, and a sweet patio for relaxing and enjoying the abundance!
There is off-street parking for multiple vehicles and ample turn around space. All this and you are a 5-minute walk to Takoma Junction, Cielo Rojo, Co-op and about 1-mile to METRO. New roof 2020 with 50 year warranty. Easy access to all commuter routes.
