Perfectly situated a short stroll between Takoma Park's downtown shops/restaurants and the Takoma Junction stores, this 1922 Arts and Crafts home makes living easy when you don't feel like driving out to eat or shop. The home is classified as a "Contributing Resource" by the Montgomery County Historic Division, which recognizes homes in Historic Districts of architectural and/or historic importance. The historic presence of the cedar shingle shaker-covered home continues as you enter with an old-fashioned ample front porch. You will enjoy cooling breezes and gentle conversations here and move to the lawn to see the locally famous July 4th City Parade passing right in front of this home. Through the front door, notice the well-preserved heart of pine floors and rooms with curving archways, presaging the Art Deco period. The big Living Room offers a reading nook with built-in display cabinets. Move to the dining room area that easily holds a 6-person table or greater. The kitchen at the rear has another entry door off a compact porch - good for summer outdoor cooking - and is updated with full appliances, including gas cooking, a recent GE refrigerator, Bosch Dishwasher, and a table space. The floor and paint are new. The rest of the main level and upper level are also freshly painted. There's a well-sized main-level bedroom with a full bathroom next door and built-in storage cabinets. Another full bathroom is at the end of the hall (both bathrooms have original 1940s/50s color tiles that the sellers wanted to preserve to maintain the period feel of this home). They have carefully updated the home by adding low-impact Central Air Conditioning in 2009. The heating is by radiators (the best for allergy sufferers) with a gas-fired boiler in the basement. At the rear is a bonus den that can be used as a guest bedroom or TV room. Upstairs, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as what used to be 2nd kitchen, now used as an office/bedroom space. An unfinished basement with a full-sized washer/dryer affords lots of storage space, wardrobe closets, and possible future room expansion. The sturdy workbench will remain. There is a shared driveway with a recorded easement agreement for shared access and maintenance between both properties leading to a detached garage, which was carefully restored/renovated in 2012, holds one car, and affords electricity and lighting. It is wired for both 110 and 220 volts, having the potential for charging an EV. Suited for hobbies and cars! The rear yard has two water features and many spring flowering bulbs and later perennials to discover. The roof was replaced in 2018, and the back porch in 2022. There's also a Cinch Home Warranty that conveys to the buyer(s) for one year after settlement and covers many items. Being in the Historic District allows homeowners to apply for a 25% County tax credit on later county property tax bills. The sellers have used this useful credit in the past for exterior painting, a roof replacement, and garage repair. There is also a State tax credit available, which has not been used. Takoma Metro Station (Red Line) is a 7-minute walk away. There is a year-round Farmer's Market close by, and many good restaurants such as the award-winning Cielo Rojo restaurant, down the block, Takoma Beverage (great coffee), Olive Lounge (open late), Motokat, Kin Da, and Busboys and Poets. The Takoma Food Cooperative down the block offers hard-to-find health food and vitamins and a good wine and beer collection. There's a Deli to the right and butcher to the left and much more like veterinarian, shipping, Post Office, hair and nails.Takoma Park offers that small-town feel with easy access to your local politicians, but with the advantage of a large, sophisticated City right next door. There are lots of parks, and the City Library, police station, and Town Hall are a short distance away. Sligo Parkway, with miles of trails, is near too. This carefully preserved home is a real gem.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
