A rare Victorian treasure nestled in Takoma Park’s Historic District and central village location near Red Line Metro station, city hall and community center, public schools, town library, farmers market, shops, and restaurants; built in 1886 and featuring authentic architectural details: soaring ceilings; recessed wood, raised, paneled, pocket, and etched glass doors; burnished wood floors; a variety of oval, skylit, leaded, and transom windows; bullseye moldings, medallions, and chair rails; wraparound porches and balconies; all carefully preserved and updated by long-time owners. Four finished levels consist of seven (7) bedrooms, four-and-one-half (4.5) bathrooms, which includes a 2-bedroom IN-LAW SUITE. Here is a genuine collector’s item whose lush perennial gardens and sweeping wooded lot instill a sense of calm and respite. A National Register of Historic Places Nomination states "...7105 Holly Avenue is a late vernacular treatment of the cottage style of the mid-19th century. The many gabled elevations and the carpenter's Gothic verge boards attest to this fact...". Today's amenities and features include central air conditioning; built-ins galore; ample storage; a chef's kitchen loaded with cabinetry and stainless appliances; main-level mudroom and laundry; a two-bedroom IN-LAW SUITE; and lush perennial gardens. Three levels of this home have generated as much as $775 per day in short-term rental income. Appraisal figures for finished square footage above and below grade: 4,127; unfinished below grade: 370.
