220 PARK AVENUE

This delightful Craftsman-style bungalow at 220 Park Avenue, just steps away from downtown Takoma Park, perfectly marries historic charm with modern upgrades, creating a uniquely appealing home. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across two floors, this home balances comfort and convenience impeccably.

The kitchen, fully remodeled in 2019, now features specialty hardwood cabinets, soapstone counters, and stainless steel appliances. The original heart of pine wood floors, over a century old, have been meticulously refinished, restoring their natural beauty and warmth. Additional storage solutions are cleverly integrated throughout, with built-ins in the lower level workstation, cabinets, shelves, and the larger bedroom, maximizing space and functionality.

Significant enhancements extend to the attic, offering substantial storage space, complemented by an additional storage room in the basement. The transformation of the property includes the conversion of an old detached garage--originally built for a Model T--into a fully functional studio space, now equipped with heating and cooling systems. This versatile addition can serve as a workspace, gym, or recreational area.

The home's air-conditioning system was updated in late 2016 with new ductwork, a new air handler, and an air conditioner to ensure efficient climate control. Recent upgrades also include the installation of a new washer and dryer. Outdoor living has been significantly enhanced with a new patio beneath the back deck and the reconstruction of the back porch, complete with a new picket fence in the backyard, providing privacy and charm.

This authentic 1918 Craftsman bungalow also features a classic porch with a porch swing, where you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets due to the home's excellent west-facing exposure. Conveniently located within a 3-minute walk to the Co-op and Cielo Rosa, 5 minutes to Busboys and Poets, and an 8-minute walk to the Metro. Additionally, the property boasts two to three car off-street parking, a prized amenity in this bustling area.

This Takoma Park bungalow is ideal for those who value a blend of historical architecture and contemporary conveniences, paired with strategic urban accessibility.
