510 New York Avenue
Takoma Park, MD 20912

Fabulous vintage bungalow c.1926, in popular North Takoma Historic District. This house has history as it was the childhood home of noted Takoma Park guitarist John Fahey. It has been expanded and updated over the years, yet retains much of the charm of the era: a spacious front porch, original unpainted moldings, high ceilings, and more. In its current configuration it affords an amazingly comfortable and flexible floor plan with 4-5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Enter from the inviting front porch into a spacious side hall with coat closet and convenient under stair storage. The hall opens both to the open plan living spaces on the left, and straight ahead to the main floor guest room or office, a vintage full bath, and a small playroom or second office. The open living/dining area features original wood trim, a wood burning fireplace and wood plantation shutters. There are beautiful original wood french doors that lead from the dining room to the hall. The bright kitchen renovation created ample cabinetry and counters, a vaulted ceiling, and table space. The playroom or office is also accessed from the kitchen with a pantry closet and shelves between them. The rear entrance with a second coat closet leads out to the parking pad with EV hookup and the driveway beyond. Off the kitchen another addition houses a family room with closet, built-ins, vaulted ceilings, custom window shades, and ensuite bath. This room could also serve as a primary suite. There is a lovely patio and hardscape out back. The lower level is a large finished space with utility room, laundry room and playroom or family room. Upstairs are three adorable bedrooms tucked into the eaves and a full bath. One bedroom has a built-in bed platform and vaulted ceilings, the other bedroom has a kids hideaway tucked into the eaves! The third bedroom has a built -in dresser and two closets. This could be the primary if desired. You are less than a mile to Metro and blocks to all good things Takoma! Long driveway (shared) with EV hook-up, and garage for your convenience. Property is actually comprised of two lots: the house sits on both.
