7315 FLOWER AVENUE

$1,375,000  |  7315 Flower Ave, Takoma Park, MD 20912

Welcome to 7315 Flower, the unicorn of Takoma Park; ideally located, modern, spacious, lovingly upgraded for the community-focused, eco-conscious family to include solar panels and its own EV charger in the driveway! Very rarely does a move-in-ready, 3,750 square foot 6-bedroom house with a long driveway and garage, a social front porch and a huge back deck come on the market, and it won\?t last long! This home has given the original owners space and agility to raise a large family in the Takoma/Blair school cluster, host community events and multigenerational family gatherings, and weather the unpredictability of the past two years with plenty of space for work, play, family, exercise, and quiet time.
Facing west with ample lights on the south side and two sets of french doors onto the East-facing deck, the first floor welcomes you with the continuous flow of open-space planning with the flexibility for dedicated-use rooms. Off the foyer with brand-new lighting is the large but cozy library, with built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, crown molding, and adjustable spotlights to highlight your favorite paintings, and French doors to close as needed.
Turn right into the large dining room, or proceed straight down the hall, past a tasteful powder room into the open-space family room that opens to an eat-in-kitchen. Relax on a sofa or in your favorite chair beside the gas fire-place. Sit in the sunlight of the kitchen table beside one of the many south-facing windows, or gaze out through the double French doors to the deck and garden below of your fully fenced rear yard. Perch on a stool at the granite-topped kitchen bar as you keep the cook company in the well-appointed kitchen and its brand-new stove, with ingredients pulled from the high-end triple-door fridge.

Upstairs you will find four large bedrooms \? the primary, with its walk-in-closet, deep tray ceiling and en-suite bathroom, complete with double vanity and deep, jacuzzi-jet tub. Bedrooms two, three, and four each have multiple windows, ample custom closets, and plenty of room for personalization. They share a full, double vanity bathroom with double showers for ultimate flexibility.

Want to get away\? Head downstairs to the entertainment and recreation level where you can chill out in the huge TV lounge. Maybe you\?re a visitor, and you\?ve been appointed bedroom number five to stay in for a while. Or maybe you want to work out in the gym, creatively partitioned as just half of the sixth bedroom, which also serves as a spacious office with dual closets. Built in 2007, this home features a dual array of solar panels (leased) and the owners have recently installed a Tesla charging station for your convenience.

Takoma Park is world-famous for its local artists and community-focused engagement. This home provides ample space inside and out for entertaining, including along the oversized driveway which has, over the years, provided space for basketball hoops, trampolines, vegetable gardens, skateboard ramps, soccer goals, and parties galore. Look over the action from the oversized deck as your grill for your family and friends, and the kids play in the grass, or swing in the hammock. Providing even more space is a detached garage that can also serve as extra storage for off-season gear and machinery \? or convert it into a tiny guest house.

Within walking distance to the Takoma Co-Op, the Takoma Park public schools, and Old Town Takoma\?s charming restaurants, shops, and farmer\?s markets, you are also just up the hill from Sligo Creek and the Sligo Creek trail. At the same time, you\?re only a short drive into DC, downtown Silver Spring, or onto I-495. All together, you won\?t find another house like this in the beatific community of Takoma Park. It has served as a magical springboard for its first owners; now you can do the same for you and your crew!
