Property Description
Restored and renovated storybook bungalow in the heart of Takoma Park. This historic 1920's gem at the corner of Walnut and Westmoreland has been reconfigured and renovated by the current owners. They opened the kitchen to both the dining and living space, installed all new appliances, new finishes, added a half bathroom on the main floor, and designed an owner's suite bathroom with a glass enclosed shower, custom tile work, and a restored clawfoot soaking tub. The lower level renovation includes a large pantry with more storage, a lovely full bathroom, and a guest suite with additional living space, straight out of a coffee table book. The upstairs attic is a surprise bonus space currently used as a playroom, yoga space, and to work from home. The unique and sprawling corner lot is a gardener's dream come true. You'll feel like you're walking into a Shel Silverstein book when you enter to the Holly tree and mature wisteria draping the dreamy front porch. The front yard has over 120 plantings and the seller will leave behind her garden map. The backyard offers space to sit by the fire pit, dine, enjoy garden beds for herbs and vegetables, and room for your pets. The owners have created a private and fenced-in retreat, featuring a completely enchanting studio shed for outdoor dining. Equipped with a ventilated wood burning stove, the shed has space to enjoy the fire and storage space as well. There is so much to love. 68 Walnut is just one block from Takoma Urban Park, Scissor & Comb, around the block from Old Takoma Ace Hardware, Takoma Park Beverage Company, The Girl & The Vine, Kin Da, Republic, Mark's Kitchen, Takoma Park Farmers Market, Seoul Food, Cielo Rojo, Takoma Park Food Co-op and so much more. A close walk to Sligo Creek Trail, to the DC line for metro, Donut Run, Souper Girl, a sandwich at Horace and Dickie's, or coffee from Lost Sock Roasters.
