7611 Maple Ave APT 103, Takoma Park, MD 20912

Lighten up your lifestyle in a roomy 1206 square foot condominium in a superb location overlooking a planted garden on the entry-level of the Takoma Phoenix Condominium with no elevator needed for access! Lock it up and enjoy all those things you promised you would do and then come home to spacious and private comfort! Walk right in from the newly renovated Lobby and Hallway to this bright unit with a newly renovated stainless kitchen - fully equipped including a newly built-in stainless Microwave oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and gas stove. There's room to add a stack washer/dryer to the left of the dishwasher by moving the refrigerator to the left (there's plenty of room). Enjoy the totally renovated bathrooms with new tile in neutral colors. An open floor plan layout pleases today's lifestyle and grey tone wood-style floors are a joy to behold and reflect the paint colors. It's great to have 3 good-sized bedrooms that also make great offices or entertainment rooms. The owner's suite has its own private bathroom and large lighted closet. The paint is new and neutral throughout and most pleasingly adds to the feeling of light. The gas heating furnace and electric central air conditioning unit were new in December 2019. The condo fee includes hot water, water and sewer, and cooking gas. The condo board is very conservatively putting part of the dues into a savings account for future repairs and has made many in recent years. Pets are allowed but are to be registered with the condo management. Verizon FIOS internet is available in the condo. Enjoy a huge laundry room on the 2nd level and a bicycle storage room on each level. The spacious balcony accessed from the living room overlooks planted shrubs and is a great place to chill out after a hard way. Parking is available for $20 per month and guest parking for up to 14 nights is located at the rear of the lot. There is short-term parking in front of the entrance for deliveries/pickups. The location is fabulous for walking, biking, or public transportation. Ride on buses (Routes 18, 19 & 20) stop in front of the condo, and you are just a 0.9 of a mile walk from Takoma Metro Station. Sligo Park with miles of hiker/biker trails is just down the street, where they close the Parkway every Sunday for recreational use. The Town Hall and local Police Station are down the street and the City Library of Takoma Park around the corner. You are a short stroll from Takoma Food Cooperative and many restaurants and Spring Hill Bakery! Takoma Elementary and Middle Schools are a short walk away. The condo has a 70 walk score (very good). Downtown Silver Spring and Wholefoods are a few minutes drive away, while Columbia University is within walking distance. The condo is approved for Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac low downpayment conventional financing and also for FHA financing. The City of Takoma Park has a grant program of $10,000 for first-time homebuyers to help with the closing costs and downpayment which is forgivable after 5 years provided the buyers remain in the property (subject to income limitations). Move right in and do nothing but relax and enjoy this spacious home in a highly walkable location that you will grow to appreciate more with time. Don't miss it!
