This investor-ready property boasts great bones, no unpleasant odors, and endless potential for customization. Inside, you'll find spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a half bath and two fireplaces that add warmth and charm. The finished basement with a separate entrance offers an excellent opportunity to create an additional suite or kitchenette. Plus, the home is ready for an open-concept transformation, allowing you to modernize while preserving its character. Step outside to a large, fenced-in backyard, ideal for entertaining, gardening, or future expansion. The home also features front and back porches, adding to its classic appeal. A garage with additional parking provides convenience, while solar panels offer future energy savings.

Rock Creek Park and Fort Stevens Park offer scenic trails and historic sites, while neighborhood favorites like Moreland’s Tavern, Brightwood Pizza & Bottle, and Donut Run bring local flavor just minutes away. The Takoma Farmers Market is a great spot for fresh produce every Sunday, and the nearby Parks at Walter Reed is an emerging hub for new restaurants, shops, and community events. Takoma Recreation Center provides access to a pool, playgrounds, and sports courts, and a quick drive to Silver Spring takes you to the AFI Silver Theatre, a top destination for indie and classic films. This is your chance to bring new life to a classic home in one of DC’s most exciting neighborhoods! Whether you're an investor looking for your next project or a buyer with a vision, this home is full of opportunity.
