    What's special

    Prepare to FALL IN LOVE with this stunning bungalow, brimming with architectural character and thoughtful updates. A welcoming front porch offers golden-hour views and sets the tone for the charm within. Inside, the main level features two serene bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full bath with custom tile, a Jacuzzi soaking tub, and a river rock floor. The living room centers around a cozy corn stove insert - perfect for crisp evenings - and flows into a dedicated dining area ideal for gathering. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring grey cabinets, granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances - including a Viking gas range - and a sunny breakfast nook with river rock flooring that invites slow mornings and good conversation. Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like a retreat, with brand-new carpet and a spa-like bath featuring a German-crafted wood soaking tub. The lower level is partially finished with exterior access, ideal as a fourth bedroom, home office, or rec room, with additional space ready for your vision. Outside, the backyard is a gardener’s dream, filled with native plantings that bloom across three seasons. The space is perfect for unwinding, with a wooden deck ideal for entertaining outdoor dinners and a stone patio offering ample space to lounge around a fire pit. You’ll find Eastern redbud and dogwood trees (both white and red), two kinds of fig trees with bountiful harvests, a persimmon tree, a mature Japanese cherry tree, and a Japanese maple. The front yard features azaleas in three different colors, rhododendron, and three giant hydrangeas, along with a beautiful stone wall, adding an element of craftsmanship to the landscape. Additionally, the home holds a green home certification from Takoma Park, emphasizing its commitment to sustainability. The architectural gem of a copper standing seam roof and matching gutters adds to the home’s enduring beauty and craftsmanship. The copper roofing, one of the longest-lasting materials available, provides peace of mind for years to come. The windows are carpenter-built wood (not plastic), further enhancing the home’s superior quality. The spice shelf and original ironing nook have been updated with integrated historical charm, maintaining the home’s unique character. The home’s history suggests it may be a a Sears Kit Bungalow, and what’s more, the westward-facing porch offers breathtaking sunset views every evening—a rare feature shared by only two homes on lower Sherman. Ideally located near the Community Center, Sligo Creek trails, and the beloved Takoma Farmers Market, this home is just steps from all your favorite Takoma spots: the Co-op, Spring Mill, Soko Butcher, Cielo Rojo, Azalea Nails, Takoma schools, and the brand-new Takoma Library. Less than a mile from the Old Town Takoma gazebo, Metro, and the weekly farmers market—this location has it all. Welcome Home!
