Behind a charming front garden and welcoming covered porch lies a residence full of character, comfort, and versatility—perfectly blending timeless charm with modern convenience. As you step inside, rich hardwood floors lead you into a versatile front room with new flooring - ideal as a den, library, office, music room, or cozy sitting area. Anchored by an EPA-certified woodstove fireplace insert, this space radiates charm—and could easily be converted into a main-level bedroom. At the heart of the home, a spacious open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area flows effortlessly—ideal for gatherings large and small. The kitchen features solid oak cabinetry, a gas range, generous counter space, and mostly new appliances. A clever office nook adds function without sacrificing flow, while glass doors open to a private deck overlooking the shaded backyard, a serene setting with lush plantings and space to relax or play. A whimsical retro avocado green bathroom adds personality and further convenience to the main level. The top level reveals two oversized private suites which could be reconfigured into additional bedrooms should one desire. The front bedroom opens to a large, sunny balcony perfect for your morning coffee or evening unwind, and offers generous space for a bed, desk, and more. The bath servicing this room includes a soaking tub and ample cabinetry for easy storage. Down the hall, the rear suite is a serene retreat with three closets, space for a sitting area, and a newly renovated spa-like bathroom complete with an oversized shower, bidet toilet, marble-topped double vanity, and backlit LED defogging mirrors. Located between the two bedrooms, the full laundry room offers side-by-side machines and extra storage completes the upper level. The lower level brings even more flexibility with stylish new LVP flooring, a vintage built-in bar area, additional living space, half bath, ample storage, and a utility room with a laundry tub. Upgraded systems include a newer hot water heater, boiler, a replaced main water line and updated insulation meeting modern energy efficiency and code requirements. The home is equipped with radiant heating and central air conditioning for year-round comfort. Outside, a detached garage/storage building and generous off-street parking provide rare downtown convenience—all just a short walk from the shops, restaurants, and transit options of Silver Spring and Takoma Park.
