WOW! AMAZING SCREENED PORCH! HUGE YARD! A Truly Exceptional Gut Renovated & Expanded Home in the Heart of Takoma Park. Nestled in a sweet, tree-lined pocket just steps from Forest Park and a short stroll to Spring Park, Main Street Takoma, and the beloved Co-op, 605 Elm Ave is the perfect blend of thoughtful design, luxurious finishes, and everyday functionality. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear: this home is anything but cookie-cutter. Every detail has been elevated with intention and high design. The airy main level features an open-concept layout drenched in natural light, with all-new windows and doors and a seamless flow between spacious living and dining areas. A custom built-in dining nook and stylish coffee/bar station add charm and function, while the standout kitchen stuns with honed Carrara marble counters, white oak cabinetry, a Thor stainless steel appliance suite (including gas range and French door fridge), and ample storage—perfect for both daily living and entertaining. This floor plan offers incredible versatility with three main-level bedrooms and two beautifully appointed full baths. The serene primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with Signature Hardware polished nickel fixtures, a Moroccan-inspired walk-in shower with handheld sprayer, and custom tilework throughout. The hall bath is equally refined with a deep soaking tub, marble-topped vanity, terracotta tile flooring, and curated finishes. French doors open to an expansive, south-facing screened-in porch - a showstopper for relaxing or entertaining, overlooking the lush 11,000+ square foot backyard. The fully finished lower level lives like a second floor thanks to its nearly-at-grade placement and oversized windows. This sunlit space includes a generous fourth bedroom with its own designer en suite bath, plus a stylish wet bar featuring marble countertops, a Hansgrohe faucet, bar sink, and built-in seating. Whether for guests, multigenerational living, or a second primary suite, the possibilities are endless. There's also room for a gym, office, or rec space, plus a beautifully tiled laundry room. Major updates offer complete peace of mind - new roof, new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, windows, doors, appliances, and even a new concrete basement slab. Every inch reflects top-tier craftsmanship and timeless appeal. All this, less than a mile to Takoma Metro and moments from neighborhood favorites like Cielo Rojo, Spring Mill Bakery, and Soko Butcher. 605 Elm Ave is a rare find - where elevated design, function, and prime location come together to create something truly special.
