Welcome to the best of the old and the new in this exciting new offering with styling cues in the Takoma Park tradition and just a block from the District of Columbia in the City of Takoma Park and just 1.1 miles from Takoma Metro Station. The house was totally rebuilt over a previous home foundation with only a small part of that remaining (tax record shows new in 2020). With the modern open floor plan, today's buyers prefer, the granite countertop kitchen features hickory wood cabinets including 2 "Lazy Susans" with stainless appliances and a 2nd beverage under-counter refrigerator. There's a super Breakfast area with sliding doors to the rear deck and beside a kitchen stool counter for informal lunch with intimate friends & family. The large and bright Family room off of the kitchen area offers a built-in shelving/entertainment center. The gleaming white oak prefinished hardwood floors throughout the main level are a joy to behold. Enjoy a gas log fireplace in the Living Room with a wall of built-in shelving for showing those collections you always needed a home for. Notice the wood matching shutters and the large dining area with plenty of space for a huge table gathering at holiday time! If you inspect closely you will find great craftsmanship throughout the home. Note the 42-inch wide staircase for more room with a red pine wood surface and the foyer diamond shape window! Upstairs 3 well-sized bedrooms, a laundry room, a hall bathroom with a 5.5 foot Kohler tub, and a large owner's suite with 2 walk-in closets, a large bathroom with whirlpool tub and large shower and separate toilet area with an added bidet. The private rear deck off the owner suite is a place for special private moments. For energy saving the 2 zoned heating and cooling is an essential feature, while the insulation is R-20 spray foam (open-cell foam) in the walls and R38 in the attic roof. If you love your car it will love the oversized (22 x 16) attached 1 car garage with R-20 spray foam insulation & 9-foot wide x 7-foot high door. There are up to 5 parking spaces in the concrete driveway in front too! It also has a separate heater, a dedicated 220-volt outlet, and a built-in workbench. There's a separate door at the rear of the garage. You will love the Old fashioned front porch (notice the copper trim) and an amazing two levels of decks at the rear - great spaces for group gatherings & private moments.
