7629 Carroll Ave, Takoma Park, MD 20912

Property Description

The Lyndon House, 1912. Its name, prominently painted above the front porch and freshly regilded in gold leaf, sits on 0.80 acres set high above Carroll Avenue, with a view across the treetops that very few houses in Takoma Park can match. Inside, the original stained glass, original doors, original wood floors, plaster walls, and 9-foot ceilings, all well maintained, all still here. The front parlor, roughly 500 square feet, runs the full length of the house. The main level also offers a living room open to the dining room, a large kitchen, a finished three-season room, and an office or fifth bedroom with its own full bath. Upstairs, the primary bedroom opens onto a large private balcony, the place to take in the stunning view. A self-contained second-floor suite with its own kitchen, study, bedroom, and full bath connects to the main house and works as a guest suite, rental unit, or space for live-in help. Five bedrooms and four full baths in all, plus a walk-up attic with two insulated rooms and a finished lower level with a side entrance. The owners of 25 years took care of the expensive work that matters: architectural shingle roof (2015), main sewer line replaced (2021), heating and cooling replaced and simplified over the years, and fresh exterior paint. The interior finishes are ready for your vision. Fully fenced grounds, off-street parking from Palmer Lane, one lot from the Sligo Creek valley, and Carroll Avenue leads straight to Takoma Junction and the Takoma Metro. They don't build them like this anymore. For questions or additional information, please contact Chris Lee directly.
