Welcome to 503 Boston Avenue, an expanded colonial home in the heart of Takoma Park! This charming property showcases lovely architectural details, custom built-ins, wood flooring, chair rail molding, and an incredible family room addition. The traditional floorplan welcomes you with a bright living room featuring hardwood flooring, leading to a dining room adorned with chair- and crown-molding. Adjacent to the dining room, the kitchen offers wood cabinetry, Corian counters, an induction stove, a tile backsplash, and a pass-through to the spacious family room. The family room addition is a standout space with a veritable wall of windows plus a wall of built-ins, exposed brick, two ceiling fans, and access to the side deck and yard. Upstairs, three freshly painted bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable living quarters. The lower level features a versatile recreation room with ceramic tile flooring, recessed lighting, and windows. This level also includes a modern full bath, a laundry closet, and additional storage. An efficient heat pump heats and cools the whole house. The picturesque, fenced yard is a private retreat with mature trees, a side deck, a terraced yard with a gazebo, and a brick paver patio—perfect for dining al fresco. A private driveway and shed add to the home’s convenience. Ideally located just steps from K-8 schools and the recently renovated Silver Spring Intermediate Park with sports courts and playgrounds, this home is within one mile of both the Takoma and Silver Spring Metro stations. Enjoy the best of eclectic Takoma Park, with its strong sense of community, weekly farmers' market, and easy access to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in both Takoma Park and vibrant downtown Silver Spring.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
