About 7214 Cedar Ave
Welcome to 7214 Cedar Avenue! Built Circa 1873, this remarkable residence - a historic resource - predates the founding of Takoma Park itself, offering a rare opportunity to own one of the community's earliest homes. Located within the Takoma Park Historic District, it is rich in history and character and reflects the enduring appeal of one of the Washington area's most cherished historic neighborhoods.
This striking Farmhouse Colonial welcomes you with an inviting wraparound porch. Fine architectural details are showcased throughout, including detailed wood trim, original hardwood floors, transoms, a stained-glass window, multiple fireplaces, exposed brick walls, and period-inspired accents. The covered wraparound porch, original wood entry door with a generous glass pane and letter slot, beautiful stained-glass transom, and handsome staircase with its striking balustrade create a memorable first impression.
The home features a spacious living room with a brick fireplace that flows into the formal dining room. The traditional kitchen offers a fireplace, gas cooking, a tile backsplash, glass-front cabinetry, a ceiling fan, and access to the side entrance leading to the wraparound porch.
The upper level includes three bedrooms. The sun-filled primary bedroom features two closets and sconce lighting. The hardwood floors in both secondary bedrooms have been refinished. The upper level is complete with an updated ceramic tile bathroom and a linen closet.
The lower walkout level, with its private rear entrance, offers exceptional flexibility and includes a second full kitchen, a versatile family room or fourth bedroom with display shelving and brick accents, a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub, abundant natural light, and two large storage rooms. This level could easily serve as an in-law suite.
The outdoor setting is equally appealing, with mature, colorful landscaping, paver pathways, the wraparound porch, three patios, a driveway, and paver sidewalks lining this highly desirable block in the heart of Takoma Park. This premier location is minutes from the municipal library and community center, close to restaurants, shops, and the weekly farmers' market, and only blocks from K–8 schools, while being approximately 0.3 miles from the Takoma Metro. Ideally positioned between downtown Takoma Park and Silver Spring and near several local parks, this home offers vibrant in-town living with easy access to dining, shopping, and transportation.
