OFFERS DUE SUNDAY 10/25 9AM Walk in and you'll find a home that's been loved and continually improved, with nearly 3,000 square feet across three levels and five bedrooms plus a dedicated office. The 2023 kitchen remodel sits at the center of it all - a top-to-bottom renovation built for real cooking and entertaining, with easy access straight out to the deck, gravel grilling area and the yard beyond. The main level flows from a dining room anchored by custom built-ins added in 2019, with a sunroom that grows plants beautifully and has served as a lovely office for years. The home runs on dual HVAC zones, so comfort is consistent from floor to floor. Upstairs you'll find generous bedrooms and - a genuine luxury in a house this size - laundry right where you need it, added on the top floor with machines from 2018, plus a second laundry area in the basement with 2022 machines. No hauling baskets up and down three flights. The attic isn't finished, but it holds its temperature nicely and offers a ton of storage. Outside, the fenced yard (2018) puts on a show from early spring through summer - waves of peonies, gladiolus, tulips, even edible saffron, and a front sidewalk lined with lilies. A driveway space comes with a 2024 EV charger, and 2024 owned solar panels keep the home efficient. Street parking is plentiful too. Lost Sock Coffee is just down the street, along with the Takoma Library and several playgrounds. You can walk to Whole Foods and The Charmery when you're not loading up on too much to carry, and downtown Takoma Park is a short stroll with plenty to explore. The Takoma Metro is roughly 0.6 miles away. The block is lively but calm at night - fireflies in spring, serious Halloween trick-or-treating, and a block party across the street every year.
