Description
This c.1923 cottage could not be cuter or better located! Spruce is one of Historic Takoma’s most popular streets, just blocks to Old Town Takoma Park shops, restaurants, farmers market, and less than 1/2 mile to METRO. Lovely original vintage features combine with a recent second floor loft owner’s suite to give you the best of both worlds. Main floor sun-drenched open family /dining room combination features a soaring 2-story ceiling with exposed beams, skylights and a charming spiral staircase up to the upper level. The fireplace has a unique diamond pattern brick and tile surround and a custom door. The cute updated kitchen with Mexican terra cotta tile floor opens to the family room. Two bedrooms and a full bath with jetted tub complete the main level. Up the spiral staircase to the owner’s suite, with walk-in closet, additional closet and full bath. There is a closet on the landing with washer /dryer hookups if you prefer the laundry to be up here. Wonderful rear screened porch with built in murphy table and outdoor shower! Shared driveway for half the year off-street parking. ( by arrangement with the neighbor!) Lovely landscaping includes Japanese maple, Plum tree, azaleas, roses, hellebores, bee balm, hydrangea, and an herb garden. Sorry, no open house during COVID.
