About This Home

As of October 2024

Very gracious and spacious pre-war colonial in the four-square vernacular, c.1926, Ideal North Takoma location, blocks to both downtown Silver Spring, Old Town Takoma, and Takoma Metro. This charmer features a huge front porch, large public rooms, beautiful original hardwood floors throughout, a brand new central air system, and a flexible floorplan. The side entry foyer opens to the living room through a beautiful archway and leads back to a nice sized updated kitchen. A 3-season sunroom back porch is off the kitchen. From the porch exit to a beautiful two-tiered honey toned garapa hardwood deck overlooking more than a 1/4 acre of beautifully landscaped yard. Inside the traditional floorplan features a large living room with wood burning fireplace open to a spacious formal dining room with chair rail in addition to the kitchen and sunroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms, one with an updated ensuite half bath, another with an enclosed sleeping porch/office attached, and a third very large bedroom from which you access steps up to the loft level studio. Original vintage light fixtures in the bedrooms! The hall bath and ensuite have been recently updated. The loft level is a large open flex room, currently used as an artist's studio but could be a fifth bedroom, office or playroom. The lower level features a family room with entertainment center,built-ins, a built-in sound system, lots of storage, and a full bath with separate shower room. The yard is quite large: over 1/4 acre and beautifully landscaped. There is a detached garage with a new roof, and a long driveway for multiple vehicles. This is a handsome, spacious home in a very desirable location, awaiting your personal touches. Stroll to all that downtown Silver Spring and Old Town Takoma have to offer: shops, restaurants, farmer's markets, schools, libraries, etc. Wonderful house, fabulous location. Less than 1 mile to METRO.
