About This Home

As of November 2024

Welcome to 7400 Flower Avenue, an exquisitely renovated craftsman-style Bungalow. Originally built circa 1923, this meticulously maintained home has been lovingly restored and updated, blending its vintage charms with modern conveniences, including an open kitchen, carefully finished lower level, and owned solar system. The attention to detail is evident in the beautiful wood trim, custom built-ins, tray ceilings, hardwood floors, and inviting outdoor spaces.

The home welcomes you with a quintessential bungalow front porch featuring a tongue-and-groove ceiling. Step inside to a handsome living room with a gas-burning fireplace and 9-foot ceilings, and a spacious dining room framed by two stunning archways. The dining room opens seamlessly into the redesigned gourmet kitchen, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The chef’s kitchen boasts quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a brand-new gas range, a peninsula breakfast bar, coffered ceilings, an outstanding stained glass window, and custom cabinetry encasing the refrigerator. Beyond the kitchen, you’ll find a convenient mudroom with access to the back deck, and a versatile bonus room with built-in display shelving. The main level is completed by two bright, generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom featuring a jetted soaking tub.

Upstairs, the private primary bedroom retreat features a gabled ceiling, casement windows, skylights with blackout blinds, a sitting area/office, all with an enchanting airy treetop views.
The recently updated lower level offers a fully equipped in-law or au pair suite, complete with a living area/family room, a guest bedroom, an incredible walk-in closet with an organizing system, a beautiful full bathroom, a laundry room, and ample storage. This level also has a separate side entrance, providing convenience and privacy.

The picturesque exterior is equally impressive, featuring a tranquil fenced yard with mature plantings and a thriving garden bed with squash, spinach, strawberries, and cucumbers. Additional highlights include an arbor entry with grapevines, pathways, a kayak/canoe rack, a large deck with a covered section, an expansive stone terrace, and an intricate drainage system to keep the basement dry. The yard is has an irrigation system, and the long driveway includes an EV charger for electric vehicles.

Located in eclectic Takoma Park, this home offers the best of both worlds – a warm, tight-knit community atmosphere with easy access to trails, parks, playgrounds, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in both Takoma Park and vibrant downtown Silver Spring. You’ll be just steps from Sligo Creek Park and a short ride to the Red Line Metro. This neighborhood is known for its lively summer block parties, Halloween gatherings, potluck dinners, and gardening meetups.
