Bungalow, Craftsman

Welcome to 7420 Buffalo Avenue, a perfect bungalow built c.1913, in the desirable and Historic North Takoma neighborhood. This house has been expanded over the years to offer all the conveniences of modern living while retaining its original charm and curb appeal. You cannot beat this location! 1/2 block to Belle Ziegler Park, 0.4 mile to Takoma Metro, and a few more blocks to downtown Takoma Park shops, restaurants and farmers market, yet on a back street away from traffic! Easy access to downtown Silver Spring as well. Enter from the spacious front porch with original porch swing into an open living and dining area. Tall ceilings, large windows, crown molding with dentil details, and beautiful original hardwood floors contribute to the warm and inviting feel.

Off the family room is a wonderful screened porch with an exterior deck for grilling. You will live out here! A main floor bedroom and colorful full bath complete this level . Upstairs you will find 2 large bedrooms, a flex room playroom/nursery or office, and the bright hall bath. There is attic access for storage on this level. The spacious owner's suite occupies the rear of this floor and includes a very large fully outfitted walk-in closet, another closet and built-in shelves, and a large ensuite bath. There is a jetted tub and separate stall shower for delux pampering! The lower level includes a finished playroom and a half bath. The utility area is large and unfinished.
