Welcome to 509 Ethan Allen Avenue, a beautifully expanded and remodeled Craftsman bungalow offering three en-suite bedrooms with stylishly updated bathrooms. Originally constructed around 1935, this home artfully blends period character with contemporary upgrades. A classic front porch with a tongue-and-groove ceiling and ceiling fan invites you in. Inside, you’re welcomed by an expansive living room featuring a brick fireplace, recessed lighting, two ceiling fans, crown molding, and custom window treatments. The living space flows seamlessly into the dining area—highlighted by elegant display shelving, a chandelier, and chair rail accents—and into the reimagined kitchen, renovated in 2022 with high-end finishes ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The gourmet kitchen features honed Caesarstone quartz countertops, a Bertazzoni range, white Shaker-style cabinetry, a paneled Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, paneled Asko dishwasher, a detailed floral tile backsplash, a center island with a hidden trash receptacle, an elegant archway, pendant lighting, and additional recessed fixtures. Just beyond the kitchen lies the private bedroom wing. The first en-suite bedroom features a modern bath, ceiling fan, and open closet system. The bright and airy primary suite includes a walk-in closet, wet bar, exterior access to the rear deck, and a beautifully redesigned bathroom with a sleek vanity and wood-look tile floors. The third bedroom also enjoys en-suite access via a dual-entry bath, two closets, ceiling fan, and rear yard and deck access. Additional features on the main level include a cedar-lined closet and a hall closet for storage. The lower level offers abundant potential with an expansive unfinished basement that includes laundry facilities, a utility sink, exterior entrance, and generous storage space. Major improvements have already been completed: the roof, kitchen, and two bathrooms were all updated in 2022; the third bathroom in 2014; and exterior elements such as trim, siding, and gutters were also replaced in 2022. This is a move-in-ready opportunity with all the major work thoughtfully addressed. Set on a picturesque 10,000 square foot lot, the outdoor spaces are just as appealing with a welcoming front porch, large rear deck, and a spacious fully fenced backyard—ideal for gatherings, gardening, or play. The shared driveway includes two dedicated parking spaces. Ideally located in Takoma Park, this home is only one mile from the Red Line Metro and within close reach of the shops, restaurants, and cultural offerings of both Takoma Park and downtown Silver Spring. Nearby parks such as Colby Park, Jackson Boyd Neighborhood Park, and Spring Park add to the appeal of this vibrant and walkable community.
