What This House Offers
Welcome home to this charming upper-unit rental in the heart of Takoma Park! This sun-filled 3 bedroom, 1 bath home offers the character and warmth of a classic Takoma Park Cape Cod, with beautiful hardwood floors throughout and a kitchen that's been beautifully renovated with quartzite countertops and a gas stove — as good for everyday cooking as it is for entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a large sunroom bathed in natural light makes the perfect spot for a home office, reading nook, or morning coffee. Separate living and dining rooms give you room to spread out, and upstairs you'll find a spacious, private primary bedroom that feels like its own retreat. Outside, the home sits on a large lot with a huge, partially fenced, flat backyard — ideal for pets, gardening, or weekend gatherings. This is the upper unit of a two-unit home; the basement is a separately rented, tenant-occupied unit, and laundry is located in the basement and shared between both units. Large private driveway with plenty of parking. Tucked on a quiet, tree-lined street just minutes from downtown Takoma Park's shops, restaurants, and farmers market, and with easy access to DC, this location truly can't be beat. Commuters and city-lovers alike will appreciate the walkable, transit-friendly setting in one of the DMV's most beloved and eclectic communities.
