About This Home
As of January 2025Welcome to this beautifully expanded home in the heart of Takoma Park, where classic charm meets today’s lifestyle in the perfect floor plan. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by large, gracious room sizes and an exceptional flow that creates an open, airy atmosphere, all while preserving the character and integrity of the original structure. The expansive kitchen is a chef’s dream, offering miles of counter space, ample cabinetry, and everything a home chef could desire. It seamlessly connects to the adjacent living and dining areas, making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. With updated baths and four generous bedrooms, including a surprisingly wonderful owner’s suite, this home has been thoughtfully designed for both comfort and style.
The owner’s suite is a private retreat, an expansive skylit space and a private balcony—ideal for unwinding while enjoying views of the lush backyard. The main level family room at the rear of the home offers the perfect blend of relaxation and functionality, featuring a great lounge space, a breakfast room, and an updated full bath. Step outside onto the deck that overlooks the enormous backyard—an oasis for outdoor gatherings, play, or quiet afternoons. The property also boasts a separate structure at the end of the backyard with electricity and a wood-burning stove, perfect for an artist studio, yoga or meditation room, or any other creative endeavor. Let your imagination run wild with possibilities.
Nestled in one of Takoma Park’s most desirable neighborhoods, this home is just steps from local parks, the beloved Takoma Park Food Co-op, a vibrant farmer’s market, and a variety of restaurants and shops. The nearby Metro station makes commuting to downtown DC a breeze, and the off-street parking adds extra convenience. Welcome home!
