7420 Holly Ave, Takoma Park, MD 20912

Beautifully maintained and improved Colonial in an ideal Takoma Park location: just 4 blocks to TP Metro, less than a mile to SS Metro. When you enter the front gate of this home you know you are someplace special. Lovely brick and slate pathways meander around verdant flower beds and lead you to the charming recent front porch and front door ( 2020). The full fence surrounding the yard provides privacy and a buffer. Inside you will find all the charm of a mid-century colonial, expanded on both sides to create a larger kitchen(2010), a dining area off the kitchen and an office off the living room. The kitchen features a very workable design with a peninsula island that opens to dining area, granite counters, soft close drawers, and white appliances and cabinets. Relax around the working fireplace in the very cozy living room. The office is walled with built-in book shelves. A vintage powder room completes this floor. Upstairs are three nice sized bedrooms with good sized closets and an updated hall bath (2019) featuring hex tile floor and granite topped sink vanity. The attic is floored for excellent storage. The lower level features two finished rooms, one with Mexican terra cotta floor tiles is currently used as a sewing room, the other, carpeted, as guest bedroom. There is a full bath, laundry area, and storage space on this level as well. Walkout steps to the side yard, and large brick patio. The gorgeous garden features many perennials, two weeping Cherry trees, rhododendrons and more. Driveway, parking pad, and garage: a huge bonus! Blocks to schools, Community rec center, Library and Old Town Takoma.
