Rarely does a home come to market after six decades with one family, and it shows in every corner. This charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom classic foursquare pairs original character with thoughtful updates, and beautiful gardens surrounding the home. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout, flowing from the sun-filled living room, anchored by a painted brick fireplace, and built in shelves, and tall windows, into the open dining area. Craftsman-style pendant lighting and a generous granite breakfast bar make the space ideal for entertaining. The updated kitchen features crisp white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a wall of warm original wood paneling and windows that frame the treetops. A glass-paneled door leads directly to the back deck. Upstairs, bright bedrooms with tall double-hung windows, original built-ins, and leafy views offer peaceful retreats. Ductless mini-split systems provide efficient heating and cooling, complemented by classic radiators that add vintage charm. A true gardener's delight! The front yard blooms with layered perennials, shrubs, and seasonal color along a flagstone path to the enclosed front porch. The private, fenced backyard offers even more to love: a raised deck for outdoor entertaining, a lush lawn, an herb and lavender bed, a gravel fire pit lounge, mature shade trees, a garden-like rear retreat with winding stone paths. A driveway provides convenient off-street parking. Enjoy the best of Takoma DC. Stroll to the Metro, neighborhood parks, and local restaurants, and don't miss the beloved year-round Sunday Farmers Market.
