Description

Welcome! To this rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully expanded bungalow with a covered front porch and generous addition, just steps from the heart of Old Town Takoma and the Co-op. Originally built in 1923 and thoughtfully reimagined with a second-story addition and expanded main level, this enchanting hilltop residence seamlessly blends vintage character with modern functionality. It features exquisite finishes, detailed moldings, custom built-ins, hardwood floors, skylights, five-panel wood doors, and distinctive architectural details throughout.

Inside, a welcoming living room with a brick gas fireplace opens to a charming sitting room with a wide casement opening and coat closet. Beyond the living room, an elegant dining area features a wall of windows, filling the space with natural light. The updated kitchen offers butcher block counters, a tile backsplash, gas range with five burners, and maple cabinetry. Adjacent is a convenient butler’s pantry/mudroom with access to the deck. The main level also includes a primary suite with a sitting/dressing area, office nook, shelved wall closet, walk-in closet, casement windows, and deck access. The full bath on this level features a marble vanity and a tub/shower combination.

Upstairs are two bright bedrooms, a lofted office, and an updated full bath. The rear bedroom enjoys three exposures, backyard views, and a walk-in closet. The spacious front-facing bedroom offers vaulted ceilings, two wall closets, and a triptych-like window array, creating an airy, inviting atmosphere. The lofted office provides versatility with recessed lighting, a deep storage closet, and skylight. The large hall bath includes an oversized vanity and skylight.

The lower level offers excellent potential with an expansive unfinished basement that includes laundry, a workshop area, exterior entrance, and vast storage. A full bath on this level features a charming clawfoot tub and awaits updating.

The beautifully maintained grounds showcase colorful plantings, mature trees, and a welcoming front porch. A long brick paver driveway—bordered by stone hardscaping on one side—leads to a brick pathway connecting to the front porch stairs. The expansive, partially fenced backyard provides space to play on the 0.26-acre lot, complete with a large deck, built-in bench seating, and a hot tub. A garden shed adds extra storage.
