Built in 1990

This exceptional contemporary home has been completely reimagined and expanded, offering a one-of-a-kind living experience in Takoma Park but with a Silver Spring address. Nestled on a huge 13,000 sq. ft. lot, the property provides ample space for entertaining, gardening, and enjoying total privacy within a fully fenced yard. Even the driveway has been expanded for added convenience.

Designed to break free from the ordinary, this striking contemporary retreat offers breathtaking treetop views from every window. Originally built in the 1990s, it was completely transformed in 2022 into a sleek, modern masterpiece with high ceilings, dramatic black-framed glass doors, and sophisticated finishes throughout. The chef's kitchen is a showstopper, featuring Bertazzoni gas cooking, high-end custom appliances, and a built-in iPad station--perfect for checking recipes or staying connected. Vintage estate doors sourced from Pennsylvania blend seamlessly with premium Pella French doors, while the powder room adds a touch of European elegance with custom wallpaper imported from France.

The living spaces are warm yet dramatic, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with natural wood cladding and bold black-and-white tilework. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, perched in the trees with walls of windows that frame stunning sky views. The spa-like en-suite bath is designed with beautiful leafy accent tiles that echo the home's natural surroundings, and even the walk-in closet has a window for added charm. Three additional bedrooms offer flexible living space, while the fully finished lower level includes a bedroom, full bath, wet bar, and private entrance--ideal for multi-generational living, a home office, or an income-producing rental opportunity.

The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring a spacious screened porch and barbecue deck, perfect for hosting gatherings or simply enjoying the outdoors. Multiple balconies and decks create an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, making this home feel like a private retreat in the heart of the city.

Located within walking distance to all that Takoma Park has to offer--community events, farmers markets, shops, and dining--this home provides the perfect blend of modern design and urban convenience. Sligo Park is nearby for biking and hiking, and commuting is easy with access to downtown Silver Spring and Takoma Park Metro. Designed by award-winning local builders, recognized for their exceptional historic home remodels in Takoma Park and throughout D.C., this property is truly a lovely place to call home.
