7319 WILLOW Ave

Stunning Bungalow in pristine condition on one of Takoma Park's premier streets, is just blocks to Old Town shops, restaurants, Farmers Market, and about 1/2 mile to Metro. The original architects of Willow Avenue aimed to feature every variation of the vernacular Arts & Crafts style on this one street: examples include Prairie style, Chalet style, Tudor Revival, Foursquare, Shingle Style and the classic Bungalow. 7319 seemlessly blends the best of the original bungalow shingle charm with all the modern conveniences. This is the one you've been waiting for! Perched on a hill overlooking the Historic street, with lovely stone and slate hardscape and classic mature landscaping, this house will steal your heart.
