439 ETHAN ALLEN AVENUE

This craftsman beauty in close-in Takoma Park has charm to spare. Period details abound from large rooms with high ceilings, to the original bannister and trim, built-ins, and four-over-one windows with wavy glass. As you come up through the front yard with mature perennial plantings, you’ll pause on the breezy front porch. Inside, the gracious, light-filled living room features a fireplace with flanking built-ins and a cozy pellet stove. A huge cased opening leads to a large formal dining room. The bright, updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, brand new countertops, and a stunning decorative backsplash. New tile flooring connects the kitchen to the adjacent mud/laundry room with loads of storage and an updated full bath. Upstairs, you’ll find the beautiful primary bedroom with beadboard cathedral ceilings, new carpeting, a large eaves window and a big walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms (one, also with new carpeting, is a converted sleeping porch!) and a full bath round out the second floor. The unfinished lower level is accessible from the side of the house and could be converted into a private in-law suite. In the backyard, past the porch swing, the covered deck with built-in speakers, hot tub and fenced level yard with a number of delicious fruit trees create a wonderful space for entertaining. **OFFERS DUE TUES MAY 4TH AT NOON**
