Every square inch of this beautiful craftsman bungalow has been thoughtfully renovated w/ timeless materials & classic design. The interior is gorgeous, yet the icing on the cake may be the outdoor living space with a custom front porch, huge deck, half-moon gate and flowers everywhere. Life has never been so inviting! Take time to smell the grape-Kool-Aid-scented irises on your way through the front garden. Pass through the south facing front porch into the open concept living/dining and kitchen area with original heart pine floors, expansive kitchen with stainless steel appliances, double-oven, quartz countertops, and glass subway tile backsplash. Two bedrooms on the main level work great as bedrooms or play/work spaces. Recently updated bath sparkles. Upstairs the owners suite brings respite with plenty of space for all the things that bring you joy. Marble bath with jetted tub for relaxing, reading nook (and/or room for your Peloton if thats more your speed), and cathedral ceiling. A second ensuite bedroom includes chic barn door to a walk-in closet and classic full bath, plus a third sunny bedroom to round out the upstairs. But the backyard is really the stunner: host backyard parties to your hearts content on your nearly 500 square foot deck. Backyard also has patio for a fireplace, vegetable garden, space for a trampoline, a long driveway for multiple vehicles, and outlets perfectly located for your electric car. Basement is finished with a kitchenette, bath and large living area. Has been used as an au pair suite but isnt a legal bedroom. New Hardie Board siding, windows, doors and insulation in 2020. Dual zone HVAC installed in 2014. Perfectly located block from the Takoma Community/Aquatic Center playground and new dog park, mile from downtown Old Takoma and the Takoma Farmers Market, and an easy 7-minute walk to the Metro. The newly opened Donut Run and Lost Sock Coffee are even closer. Only minutes from The Parks DC (formerly Walter Reed Medical Center) with a Whole Foods coming soon.
