About 7216 Spruce Ave
HONEY STOP THE CAR!
Welcome to 7216 Spruce Ave, nestled in the sought-after heart of Historic Takoma Park, MD, known for its vibrant, artistic, and activist history, diversity, creativity and community. This prototypical “TKPK” home has the best of all worlds: easy access to all the amenities of Takoma Park yet on a quiet street, with plenty of space, light, and classic charm.
The curb appeal of this home is undeniable, including a shared driveway and a large covered but open front porch to welcome friends and neighbors, or to just enjoy your morning coffee in as you watch the neighborhood wake for a new day. Front foliage includes two gorgeous Japanese Maple trees and mature hydrangea.
An art deco front door leads into a foyer with French doors to a surprisingly open main level, with 9’ ceilings. The bright family room includes an impressive original 1918 brick fireplace and built-in shelves.
Continue into the heart of the home to the dining room, off of which is a main-level bedroom (or study, or playroom!) with windows on two sides, generous bookshelves, access to a full bathroom, and a clear view of the large and serene backyard. The dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen with stainless appliances, silestone countertops, gas stove with range hood and solid wood cabinetry.
But one of our favorite amenities for Takoma Park homes comes next - a gorgeous screened porch, perched above the large fenced back yard, complete with a noble magnolia tree.
Upstairs, the property’s spacious layout features three generously sized bedrooms, and two full baths. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a tiled en-suite bathroom with a glass stalled shower. The second bedroom offers plenty of flexible configuration options, and has a door to a balcony facing Spruce Ave. The third bedroom, next to the primary suite and opposite a full hallway bathroom with a claw-foot tub, could also serve as a study or a nursery.
Access to a partially finished lower level is available from the kitchen, as well as from its own side door. On that level you’ll find a rec-room/family room space, as well as another windowed room that can serve as a quiet work space. There’s also plenty of storage space on that level as well as the floored attic (accessible through a second level bedroom at top of the stairs). The home also has a gravel driveway and a tree house!
Beyond the home’s captivating features, its location is simply unbeatable. Situated in the close-in Historic district, this tree-lined neighborhood is mere minutes from Takoma Park’s eclectic shops, artisanal cafes, and vibrant farmers' market. Plus, with convenient access to transportation links, commuting to downtown D.C. is a breeze.
This residence is more than just a house; it’s a lifestyle opportunity that promises comfort, convenience, and community. Don’t miss your chance to call 7216 Spruce Ave your home, where your new neighbors are excited to welcome you!
