The upstairs full bathroom has been renovated with new black and white porcelain mosaic floor tile, a new low-flow toilet, and a new ceramic pedestal sink that blends style perfectly with the new faucet, light fixture, and accessories.

Over 100 native and perennial plants have been carefully added by the current owners, creating a certified butterfly and native plant garden that supports a thriving ecosystem of butterflies, birds, and squirrels. This drought-and deer-resistant landscaping features perennial lavender and salvia, black gum and plum trees, cherry and maple trees, dogwood trees, azalea, boxwood and juniper bushes, butterfly bushes and butterfly weed, and colorful blooms through three seasons, making it the most beautiful garden in the New Hampshire Gardens neighborhood. Major updates include refinished original oak hardwood floors, a Western Red Cedar Privacy fence with pedestrian and driveway gates (2021), professionally designed and installed front yard landscaping to create a natural fence or berm, water heater (2025), new washer and dryer, new installed flooring and lighting throughout, renovated main level bathroom, and a newly installed central A/C. Fresh non-toxic, zero VOC paint throughout enhances every room, a large backyard shed plus off-street parking with two tandem-parking spaces inside the fenced area, adds everyday convenience, security, and peace of mind. Sustainability is at the heart of this home's story. Ideally located just steps from the Takoma Park Community Center, Sligo Creek Park, and the beloved Takoma Farmers Market, you're also within walking distance to local favorites including the Takoma Park - Silver Spring Food Co-op, Spring Mill Bakery, Soko Butcher, Cielo Rojo, Azalea Nails, Takoma schools, and the brand-new Takoma Library. The Metro, Old Town Takoma Park, downtown Silver Spring, and Washington are just minutes away, making this home as convenient as it is charming. 1215 Kirklynn Avenue is more than a house - it's a lifestyle rooted in community, nature, and thoughtful design.
