Steeped in a rich history of a bygone era, this Tudor home is something special. Nestled down a private lane, the expansive property offers unmatched privacy. Beneath a canopy of mature trees along Sligo Creek, the home offers hand-crafted wood moldings, two fireplaces with distinctive mantles, bay windows, a sunroom, formal dining room, a main floor office or bedroom, family room, and a spacious kitchen with many built-ins. The upper floor boasts an open loft with fireplace and a balcony overlooking the private fenced yard, plus three bedrooms and an updated bath. Its many recent improvements include replacement Pella windows, new roof and gutters in 2018, updated kitchen and baths, recent furnace, AC, and hot water heater, and an electrical heavy up with 200 AMP panel. Stories of the history of this home include the fact that it was once owned by the Mayor of Takoma Park and it housed 7 apartments during WWII. The neighboring home in front was once the carriage house for this home. The front of the home was originally what is now the back, overlooking the meandering banks of Sligo Creek. In fact, the foundation of the home was built with large river rocks from the creek. The yard area has a newly installed fence and gated stairway access down to the creek, plus a patio area for BBQs. Enjoy two separate lower level suites with private entrances, both with kitchenettes and full bathrooms. These could also serve as private office spaces, gyms, or art studios. There is plenty of off-street parking with a lot that can hold up to four cars. This rare home is an integral part of Takoma Park's history and is awaiting the story of your family to unfold here too.
