Property Description
A covered front porch with a tongue-and-groove ceiling sets the tone, inviting you into a space rich with architectural detail. Inside, the main level features original refinished Red Pine floors, vintage touches, and wonderful natural light. The sun-lit living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace and flows effortlessly into the open dining area.
The beautifully renovated kitchen is a standout, offering honed granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, clever custom cabinetry, excellent prep space, and stackable laundry. It opens into a cheerful breakfast room, flooded with light. Just beyond, a covered rear porch with a vaulted gabled ceiling overlooks the picturesque backyard — a perfect spot to relax or dine outdoors. This level also includes two spacious bedrooms with wood flooring, overhead lighting, mini-split systems, and an updated full bathroom.
Upstairs, you'll find a large bedroom with two charming nooks — ideal for a reading area, home office, or creative space.
The bright lower-level one-bedroom apartment / in-law suite offers excellent rental potential and features its own private entrances, cement flooring, a living area, a granite kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom, and in-unit laundry. It also has access to the backyard and patio, as well as a separate storage room accessed from the exterior. All of the furnishings in the rental apartment are negotiable for sale.
Set on a generous, private lot, the property is surrounded by vibrant landscaping and mature plantings. Outdoor amenities include a Trex rear porch, an expansive rear patio with space for a firepit, a large fenced backyard with a deer fence, a private driveway, and charming brick paver walkways. This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive home in a wooded Takoma Park setting — with space, flexibility, and potential income, all in one beautiful package. Additionally, the home is equipped with leased solar panels, providing an energy-efficient and eco-friendly benefit.
This residence is adjacent to the tranquil 6.5-acre Sligo Mill Neighborhood Conservation Area, an undeveloped parkland managed by the City of Takoma Park. This peaceful retreat is home to a lush tree canopy, Takoma Branch Creek, and local wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and birds. Nearby, Sligo Mill Overlook Neighborhood Park features a playground and a community garden maintained by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC).
Enjoy easy access to downtown DC via North Capitol Street (just a 20-minute drive), Metro, or bus. A community garden and playground are just half a block away, and numerous walking trails weave through the neighborhood, fostering a deep connection to nature. Experience the best of Takoma Park—a vibrant, tight-knit community with convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and the Takoma Metro Station, just about a mile away.
