Description
You’ll savor the open, updated kitchen with expanded counter...Here Comes the Sun in this impeccably updated atomic-style Raised Ranch in Takoma, DC! Happy vibes abound as you enter a vaulted foyer bejeweled with original '60s mirror wall, sputnik chandelier, and a mod-style front door framed with expansive asymmetrical windows. The bright living room features a picture window overlooking your garden and the blooming crepe myrtle & rose of sharon in your fenced-in yard 40+ feet away from the road.
You’ll savor the open, updated kitchen with expanded counter space, gold boomerang pulls, solid wood, soft close cabinets & drawers, green glass tile backsplash, quartz countertops, under-mount sink, stainless steel appliances, & recessed lights. The dining area very comfortably seats six or more and you can open the dining room slider to enjoy dining al fresco on the deck with a friend. Relax in your primary suite with custom blackout blinds, dual closets, & plenty of space for a king bed, night stands, and 2 dressers. The primary suite features an expanded primary bath with recessed lights, dual vanities with four storage drawers, large shower, & space for a seat to pamper yourself under the window and its natural light. Walk down the hall to two nicely sized secondary bedrooms. A funky hall bath with newer, retro style vinyl flooring and vanity, showcases the original pink tile & tub. Each bedroom features custom blackout blinds, ceiling fans, and spacious closets. In the hallway you’ll find an original atomic style light fixture and a linen closet with plenty of storage space.
The walkout basement is the surprising jewel of this home. This large, open space features recessed lights, Pergo engineered wood flooring, expansive under-stair storage, a half bath, and a projector screen for all your hobbies, parties, & family gatherings. Your heart will feel happy with a hand painted mural commissioned from award winning local artist Cory Oberndorfer featuring cacti and atomic doodles throughout. Enjoy additional flex space in the unfinished laundry/storage room and attached, one car garage.
On the back exterior you’ll enjoy a third outdoor living space - a gorgeous backyard with fresh sod, retaining wall with built in raised beds, a concrete patio, and a driveway for 3 cars. Central AC makes life in this sun-filled space cool and comfortable throughout the long summers. Delight in low or no electric bill with owned solar panels that generate around 10 KW hours of electricity per year.
You’ll enjoy the quick, 1/3rd of a mile stroll to The Parks at Walter Reed & its new Whole Foods, Jinya Ramen Bar, & forthcoming Charmery Ice Cream shop (Summer 2024). Walk in the other direction, just a half mile to Lost Sock Roasters, Donut Run, Takoma Metro and Takoma Park and its copious shops & restaurants. You can easily catch the 16th St & Georgia Ave bus lines to downtown DC (from the intersection of Alaska & Georgia) or take a quick bike ride or long walk to downtown Silver Spring and its shops, restaurants, and activities. The site of many happy years laced with music, laughter, & community - Welcome to Takoma Ranch!
