7414 ASPEN AVE Takoma Park, MD 20912

Perched high above the treetops of Sligo Creek Park sits this delightful mid century modern home. Light drenches the living areas from windows that provide spectacular views. The privacy of this home is remarkable, making you feel as though you’re in your own treehouse oasis.

The main level of living is a great demonstration of the beautiful efficiency of mid century modern architecture. The large living area flows perfectly to the separate dining room which boasts a working fireplace and mid century built-in cabinetry. The modern kitchen is bright and airy. The primary bedroom is spacious, with more than enough room for a king sized bed, and includes double-door closets with a custom organization system.

Thoughtful designer and vintage details are throughout. Modern updates include the fresh kitchen, the CB2 and West Elm light fixtures, the Elfa closet systems, and custom The Shade Store blinds and drapes. Vintage built-ins and wood doors imbue the home with mid century character.

Downstairs, the basement is a pleasant surprise, adding a full floor to the living space. The soaring ceiling height makes the recently renovated recreation room space inviting and warm while the fully finished bedroom suite on the lower level includes a private entrance from the side of the home.

The backyard features a beautiful private wrap-around patio area perfect for group gatherings or quiet moments alike. The home is situated on a hill and the yard offers lots of opportunities for gardening or play. “Secret” stone and dirt paths make their way through the yard, creating the feel of an enchanted forest.

The home boasts one garage parking space in the lower level and space for multiple cars on the drive if needed.

Just up the hill from Sligo Creek park this home is literally steps away from one of the most convenient trail systems in the region. With major sections of the roadway shut to cars for pedestrians and cyclists Friday to Sunday, Sligo Creek's trails, paths, and playgrounds are just down the hill from this home.

Less than a mile away, Takoma Park is a vibrant small town with a ton to offer. Top restaurants like Cielo Rojo, Seoul Food DC, Motorcat, and The Girl and the Vine are area favorites. The Co-Op and Soko, a butcher shop, are an easy walk for grabbing groceries. Coffee shops like Takoma Beverage Company and Koma are also nearby, as are fabulous retailers like People’s Books and Indigro Plants. To get to DC, hop on the Red Line Metro from downtown Takoma Park to DC.
