$1,450,000

On a rare double lot just blocks from Main Street Takoma Park, a stately 1913 Craftsman rises behind a picket fence - shingle cladding, classic columns, and a full-width porch with swing, where over a century of mornings, evenings, and summer rains has unfolded, with the promise of more to… Read More come. Across four levels, the home offers six bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and nearly 3,500 square feet of living space, steeped in enduring character. Through diamond-pane doors, the foyer sets an elegant tone with original millwork and a long built-in bench/mud nook; a single set of pocket doors opens to the living room. Living and dining connect through a wide Craftsman colonnade and picture-rail trim. The kitchen lines treetop windows, slate floors, and Arts-and-Crafts tile with generous counters and an island for seating and prep; dual sinks, a gas cooktop with hood, a wall oven, and a stainless refrigerator serve daily cooking. A vaulted ceiling lifts the space, and French doors open to a screened, light-wrapped sunroom. A quiet rear office and a main-level powder room complete the floor. Refinished hardwoods on the main level and staircase carry warmth throughout. Upstairs, a sunlit landing leads to the primary suite at the front - two exposures, a door to the railed upper porch, an ensuite bath with mosaic-tiled walk-in shower/bench, and a windowed walk-in closet just outside the door. Two additional bedrooms and a windowed hall bath sit nearby, while a window-wrapped rear sunroom offers treetop lounge or studio space. The top level adds two charming bedrooms under the eaves and a clawfoot bath. A daylight lower level extends the home with a family/bonus room, a kitchenette with exterior door, another bedroom, full bath, and a laundry/workshop - useful for guests, projects, or an au pair. Outdoors, a sweeping lawn gives the double lot its due, leading to a detached, secured two-car garage with gated alley access. Two-zone air conditioning was replaced within the past five years. Location: About 5-10 minutes on foot to the Historic District's coffee, dining, boutiques, and year-round farmers market. Near Takoma Metro (Red Line), Sligo Creek Trail and the Metropolitan Branch Trail, with swift driving access via 16th Street NW and US-29/Georgia Ave to downtown D.C. Easy to Show!
