420 Whittier St NW, Washington, DC 20012

This home brings storybook curb appeal and rare interior space you don't often find in DC. Perched at the top of a quiet street in Takoma, it's full of natural light, warmth from original hardwoods, and that welcoming energy that makes you feel instantly at home. The kitchen was fully renovated and opens seamlessly to a private backyard with a spacious deck and patio—perfect for grilling, lounging, or sipping your morning coffee in the sun. And just beyond the fence? A privately owned community garden lot that adds a sense of calm and unexpected privacy. Upstairs, the primary suite is big, bright, and beautifully outfitted with a custom Elfa closet system. The bathrooms were tastefully refreshed, and the finished attic offers flexible bonus space for an office, creative studio, or cozy escape. There's also a finished lower level for storage, workouts, or future plans and a detached garage out back. Behind the scenes, this home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated: from the kitchen and baths to the HVAC systems, sump pump, chimney flashing, paint, and lighting. It's move-in ready with none of the usual question marks. And location? Just minutes to Takoma Metro and all the neighborhood's highlights—Donut Run, San Pancho, Busboys, the farmers market, and a new dog park—plus great playgrounds and parks only a block away. This isn't just a house. It's a vibe. And it's ready for what's next.
