PERFECT BLEND OF 1920s CHARACTER & MODERN FLAIR! Available for rent for the FIRST time, lovely & large circa-1927 Foursquare on a quiet, tree-lined Takoma street! Deceivingly large across its three levels, the current owners have tastefully updated it throughout, including a full gut of the basement to include now two bedrooms plus an office, full bath, laundry, above-ground windows & large additional family/rec room space including kitchenette. The home's original woodwork, doors, paneled glass-front built-ins, plaster (i.e. soundproof!) walls, large room proportions, dining banquette, and welcoming front porch marry perfectly with a photo-friendly chef's kitchen with marble counters, plentiful cabinets & stainless appliances, enviable primary suite including bath with standing tub & shower and dual vanity, cute modernized hall bath (also with double vanity), updated lighting, and replaced utilities/systems throughout. Walk-down stair to level & fenced rear yard (requires minimal maintenance!) and detached garage (ask agent for info). And on a quiet block filled with other detached homes, 706 Van Buren is just seconds from the ever popular Takoma Recreation Center which includes the Aquatic Center and numerous fields/playgrounds, and minutes from both the conveniences off Georgia Ave (including Safeway, Wal-Mart & Starbucks) as well as Whole Foods and dining options in The Parks, Takoma Metro (Red Line) and so much more!
