OPEN SUNDAY, 10/25, from 2-4 PM. Welcome to 311 Elm Avenue, a one-of-a-kind 1935 bungalow in the heart of Takoma Park and located outside the designated historic district. Thoughtfully renovated by the current owner over the past five years, this special home blends original character with modern updates. Set on an expansive 12,171 square foot lot, it immediately captures your attention with its distinctive pink-toned stone exterior, Craftsman-inspired details, mature landscaping, and exceptional curb appeal.
Follow the stone walkway and steps to the deep, covered front porch overlooking Elm Avenue. With plenty of room for entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the breeze, this is porch life at its best!
Inside, the spacious living and dining area features a fireplace with its original mantel as a beautiful focal point. The renovated kitchen offers new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. Three bedrooms, a renovated full bathroom, and a fantastic family room complete the main level.
The lower level provides approximately 700 additional square feet ready for your vision. Newly installed luxury vinyl plank flooring, an office, laundry area, abundant flexible space, and a separate exit to the backyard offer countless possibilities.
Outside, a large patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, while the expansive, level, grassy backyard offers plenty of room to play, garden, or relax.
