7408 Carroll Avenue

Great Takoma Park home ready for new owners! Located just three blocks from the co-op, Cielo Rojo, Spring Mill and the rest of downtown Takoma, this charming four square begins with a spacious front porch overlooking the landscaped lawn and mature trees. Inside, the living room boasts a wood burning fireplace and large windows overlooking the front of the house. The dining room and kitchen have been updated for the modern chef, with refinished original wood floors, stainless steel appliances, and stone countertops. Off of the kitchen is a full bathroom and a mudroom space - great for pets, kids, or even a light filled work from home space. Upstairs, you'll find three well designed bedrooms and another full bathroom - with carefully maintained original craftsman fixtures, original wood windows and wood flooring. The rooms are bright and airy with treetop views in front and back. The attic is accessible from a pull down ladder and is full height - an intrepid homeowner can imagine adding finished square footage by renovating the attic space into another bedroom and/or bathroom! Downstairs, the basement was set up to run as two separate units with utilities and laundry separated out and accessible both from the main house and the exterior of the home. The basement apartment space is currently accessible from the back of the house, but a door between the spaces inside the basement exists - just drywalled over on the apartment side. The basement apartment has a large living space, a bedroom nook, a small kitchenette with a sink (appliances have been removed), and a full bathroom. The current seller used the apartment for storage, but the space can be restored as a rental unit or renovated to be a part of the main house again. Outside, the rear yard is quite deep - extending 170 feet from the front of the lot to the back of the lot. The driveway between 7408 and 7410 is shared access via deed, and the space behind the lot is deeded to Opal Daniels Park, so it will always be a quiet, tree filled oasis.
