Welcome to 509 Philadelphia Avenue, a fully renovated and expanded colonial home, distinguished by its exceptional layout and elevated design, seamlessly blending original character with contemporary comfort. The home showcases distinctive details throughout, including gorgeous hardwood floors, extensive wainscoting, recessed lighting, and finely crafted wood trim. A classic covered front porch with low-maintenance composite decking welcomes you inside to captivating living spaces. The gracious living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a mantel and crown molding, flowing effortlessly into the open kitchen. The thoughtfully planned chef’s kitchen includes granite counters, handsome cabinetry with soft-close drawers, an island with breakfast bar and pendant lighting, new ceramic tile backsplash, GE Profile gas range with built-in griddle, upgraded appliances, and a pantry. A few steps up, the large dining room is accented with French doors and shadow box molding. Toward the rear of the home, a rare main level family room, generously proportioned and filled with natural light, provides direct access to the rear deck and is complemented by a conveniently located powder room. The main level also features a well-appointed primary suite with wood flooring, striking windows, a double-door wall closet, and a sleek en-suite bath. Upstairs, the second level provides three bedrooms and two full baths, each finished with wood flooring and overhead lighting. The largest bedroom includes a private attached bath. The fully renovated lower level delivers exceptional flexibility, featuring a sizeable playroom with tile flooring, recessed lighting, and a wet bar; a recreation room with built-ins; a private fifth bedroom; a full bath; a laundry room; and direct access to the garage. This level could function as an in-law suite and may offer rental potential. The home also includes both an interior staircase and a separate enclosed rear staircase connecting the main and lower levels, offering additional access and useful storage space. Outside, enjoy the inviting front porch, a low-maintenance composite rear deck, and a fenced, level backyard with a shed. The property also features a garage, a private driveway, and sidewalks. Just steps to K–8 schools and the renovated Silver Spring Intermediate Park with sport courts and playgrounds, and under one mile to both the Takoma and Silver Spring Metro stations, this home offers the best of eclectic Takoma Park. Situated near a Red Line Metro stop and the farmers market, the location provides a strong sense of community along with convenient access to shopping, dining, and entertainment in both Takoma Park and vibrant downtown Silver Spring.
