About This Home
As of January 2025Welcome to 439 Ethan Allen Avenue, an exquisitely renovated Craftsman-style colonial with an inviting covered front porch— a true showpiece. Originally built circa 1924, this home has been meticulously restored and updated, blending vintage charm with modern conveniences. The attention to detail shines through in the beautiful wood trim, custom built-ins, stunning four-over-one windows, original banister, hardwood floors, and appealing outdoor spaces.
Step inside to a handsome living room with a cozy pellet stove flanked by custom built-ins, recessed lighting, and crown molding. The spacious dining room, framed by a large, cased opening, offers crown and chair rail moldings, seamlessly connecting to the living room and redesigned gourmet kitchen—perfect for entertaining! The chef’s kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a stainless-steel appliance suite, a five-burner gas range, a chevron-pattern wood ceiling, shaker wood cabinetry, a window ledge, and a decorative backsplash. Beyond the kitchen, you’ll find a convenient mudroom/laundry with access to the back porch, and a marble full bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed shower with bench seating. The main and upper levels have gleaming refinished wood flooring and charming nooks and crannies throughout.
Upstairs, there are three airy bedrooms and a hall bathroom with beadboard accent walls and ample storage. The primary bedroom retreat features a soaring gabled wood ceiling, decorative molding, blackout blinds, a spacious walk-in closet, a desk area with display shelving, a ceiling fan, uplighting, and treetop views. The second bedroom is-light filled with two original windows with shades, ceiling fan and closet. The third bedroom, a converted sleeping porch, offers new carpeting, three walls of windows, beadboard accents, and backyard views.
The huge unfinished basement is accessible from the side of the house and includes a workshop and extensive storage space.
The picturesque exterior is equally impressive, featuring a tranquil, fully fenced yard with mature plantings and fruit-bearing trees, a large tiered back deck with a hot tub—partially covered for shade—a delightful swing area, and a firepit, creating a true private oasis. Additional highlights include a wood arbor, stone pathways, and a private driveway.
Located in the eclectic and vibrant community of Takoma Park, this home is just 1 mile from the Red Line Metro station, providing easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment in both Takoma Park and downtown Silver Spring. Nearby parks, including Colby Park, Jackson Boyd Neighborhood Park, and Spring Park, make this location the perfect blend of convenience, tranquility, and access to all the best reasons to live here!
