Property Description
This charming three bedroom home will be available for THREE DAYS ONLY this October from Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd. Nestled on a wooded lot, the privacy afforded by the beautiful trees gives the feeling of living in a treehouse!
The home features three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, a sunroom, gorgeous exterior deck, and a basement ready for your vision. As you walk into the home you are greeted by the spacious living room and grand wood burning fireplace. Off of the living room is one of the most special rooms in the home - the year-round sun porch. Light fills the space while the surrounding foliage keeps it private and serene. To the left as you enter is the dedicated dining room - large enough for an 8 person table. At the rear of the home is the charming kitchen where original cabinets have been maintained with all of their lovely character. A half bath adjacent to the kitchen is an added convenience!
Upstairs the home offers three bedrooms. The smallest of these offers custom-built bookshelves and is perfect as a nursery or office, though it can also fit a twin sized bed. The second bedroom includes a smart built-in headboard and is large enough for a queen sized bed. The owner’s bedroom can fit a king sized bed and offers two large closets - one original to the home and the other built in with a custom closet system installed. The full bath upstairs features the original black and white tile that has been lovingly maintained.
Out the rear door, you’ll find a large deck with space for multiple seating areas, grill, etc. Much loved by the current owners, the deck is situated on the forested side of the lot, where evergreen trees and shrubs like camellias and magnolias make it a private and relaxing space all year long.
The basement of this home is unfinished, but offers higher than normal ceilings. The current layout offers a large family room on one side of the basement with a laundry/utility room on the other. There is also a dedicated tool space with shelving and a work table. The current owners used the basement and loved it just as it is, but there is an opportunity to finish the basement if desired.
The neighborhood in which this home sits is one of the area’s best kept secrets. Only a few blocks to the east of New Hampshire are in Montgomery County, MD and Takoma Park where the property taxes are lower than homes only a block or two away in Prince George’s County. Nearby are tons of amenities, the most notable of which is the Sligo Creek Trail - the lovely paved biking and walking trail has an access point on 13th Ave, only about 1.5 blocks away. Adjacent to the trail entrance is a playground and native plant garden, currently being completely overhauled and updated! Within a mile or so up New Hampshire is a post office, multiple grocery stores, multiple drug stores, etc. The Purple line is planned along University Boulevard connecting this area to points both east and west. Only about 5 minutes driving to downtown Takoma Park there are multiple coffee shops (Takoma Beverage Company, Lost Sock), restaurants (Cielo Rojo, Roscoe’s, Girl and the Vine), shops (Tabletop, Ace Hardware, House of Musical Traditions), and Metro. The University of Maryland’s campus is about 10 minutes driving to the east where a Trader Joe’s will open within the year. Multiple commuting options to the city include driving (about 30 minutes to Capitol Hill), bus (right along New Hampshire), Metro at either Takoma Park or Fort Totten, and biking along Sligo Creek which connects to the Northwest Branch Trail.
This home is ONLY ON THE MARKET FOR THREE DAYS this October, so please book a showing with an agent or come by the Open Houses on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 2p. This is a special home in a special neighborhood - not one to miss!
