7811 Takoma Ave, Takoma Park, MD 20912

Handsome brick craftsman from 1928 with a knockout Paul Treseder designed contemporary addition in the popular North Takoma neighborhood. This location affords easy access to both downtown Takoma Park & Metro and Downtown Silver Spring (~1 mile to each). The thoughtful renovation has retained much of the original house charm; the addition adds everything you need for a modern lifestyle. Enter from the open front porch, notice the gorgeous original craftsman door and tiny key shelf! Proceed into a generous entry foyer, which is a bonus space rarely found in these older houses. The living room features a brick fireplace with original architectural details, original refinished oak floors and tall ceilings. It leads to the separate dining room that opens to the kitchen addition. The addition also adds a main level laundry, powder room, and a sunroom/family room. The stunning kitchen features durable quartz counters, ample solid maple white cabinetry with under cabinet lighting, and a large center island with stylish pendant lights. Both the kitchen and sunroom open to a brand new deck, convenient for family meals or entertaining. Upstairs, the two front bedrooms are serviced by a spacious hall bath. One bedroom with original pine floors has its own charming outdoor balcony. Steps to the attic behind a closet door in the other bedroom. The owner's suite features a walk in closet, additional large closet, and a lovely owner's bath with marble look porcelain tile floor and stylish tiled stall shower. The lower level features a sunny bedroom with full bath, a large family room at grade with private exterior entrance, and several small storage rooms. This space would be great as an au-pair or in-law suite or a perfect family room and guest room. Long driveway ( 3 +cars) and detached garage. About 1 mile to Metro, convenient to all that Old Town Takoma and vibrant downtown Silver Spring have to offer.
