Welcome to this beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3-bath home in the heart of Takoma DC, where timeless charm meets thoughtful modern living. Situated on a sun-filled corner lot, this property offers inviting indoor and outdoor spaces designed for comfort, style, and sustainability. A wide front porch sets the tone for the home, while inside, classic details are seamlessly complemented by stylishly renovated bathrooms and a modern kitchen. The second floor hosts four spacious, light-filled bedrooms and two full baths, plus a bonus office space, while the finished lower level provides a private guest suite with its own bedroom and bath, along with a temperature-controlled wine cellar. On the main level, an oversized living room with a wood-burning fireplace flows beautifully into a separate formal dining room. The expertly designed renovated kitchen connects to a large screened porch—outfitted with interchangeable screen and glass panels for year-round use—and onward to an expansive back deck. Overlooking the rear garden, the outdoor spaces invite both relaxation and entertaining. The garden itself is a true urban oasis, producing an abundance of fruits and vegetables. Additional features include solar panels on the roof, abundant natural light throughout, and the perfect blend of historic character with modern updates. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that offers both warmth and whimsy in one of DC’s most beloved neighborhoods. Ideally located just moments from Takoma Metro and vibrant neighborhood restaurants and shops-- including Juneberry Garage Biergarten, the new Walter Reed Whole Foods, and Takoma Park’s year-round farmers market-- this home combines residential tranquility with city convenience. Welcome home!
