Welcome to 7402 Maple Avenue, an elegantly restored Craftsman-style bungalow—impeccably prepared for your immediate enjoyment. Originally built circa 1918, this home has been thoughtfully re-envisioned to blend classic charm with modern conveniences. Fine details stand out at every turn, from the rich wood trim and custom built-ins to recessed lighting designed to showcase your cherished artwork, hardwood floors, elevated hardware, stained glass windows, custom blinds throughout, and period-inspired accents. A welcoming front porch with a tongue-and-groove ceiling and ceiling fans sets the tone. Step inside to an inviting living room featuring a gas fireplace, recessed lighting, and high ceilings. The spacious dining room, complete with built-in seating and storage, flows seamlessly into the redesigned kitchen, creating an ideal layout for gatherings. The chef’s kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a Kucht gas range with integrated grill and dedicated hood, a porcelain farm sink, breakfast bar, pendant lighting, and well-crafted cabinetry. This space opens directly to the backyard and an expansive pebble-stone patio—perfect for entertaining! The main level includes two comfortable bedrooms, one of which is the primary. Each enjoys crown molding, recessed lighting, and custom organized closet space. The primary bedroom offers exceptional storage with three closets, a built-in dresser, overhead cubbies, and a dedicated storage nook ideal for luggage. The updated full bath includes dual vanities, an Italian towel warmer, half-tiled walls, a soaking tub, and a corner shower. The upper level is a versatile third floor divided into four areas—ideal for sleeping, working, play, or crafts—and enjoys light from all four exposures along with generous eave storage. The renovated lower level offers an impressive living space with wood-look tile flooring, a large family room with recessed lighting, a third bedroom, an incredible 6-person sauna, a stylish full bath with pebble-stone flooring, a steam shower with an aromatherapy reservoir and an Italian towel warmer, a laundry room with cabinetry and a sink, a walk-in pantry with a second refrigerator, and a storage/utility room. The outdoor setting is equally appealing, featuring a terraced fenced yard with a permaculture design, mature landscaping, river rock accents, a corrugated steel shed with sliding barn doors, and a dedicated bin for garbage or firewood. A generous pebble-stone patio with a stone fire pit—conveying with the home—creates an inviting space for gathering. Additional conveniences include lattice storage under the home, a long driveway, and sidewalks along this highly desirable block in the heart of Takoma Park. This premier location is just steps from the newly rebuilt municipal library and community center; close to new restaurants, shops, and the weekly farmer’s market; and only blocks from schools K–8—while being less than half a mile from the Takoma Metro! Ideally positioned between both downtown Takoma Park and Silver Spring, and near several local parks, this home offers vibrant in-town living with effortless access to dining, shopping, and transportation. See you there!
