About This Home
As of August 2025Wow, does this home have GOOD VIBES. This classic Sears Foursquare style home is bursting with original details and natural light. With 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms upstairs (yes, 2 full!), there’s plenty of room for family, guests, or all your creative pursuits. There’s an extra office or bedroom on the main floor, complete with a full bathroom, so you’ve got options. Maybe it’s a cozy home office, a guest room, or that space you’ve always needed for hobbies.
The kitchen? It has serious vintage charm with those checkerboard floors and gorgeous original windows, making every meal feel a little more fun. Plus, there’s a walk-in pantry off the kitchen—because we all need that extra space for storing all the good stuff, from snacks to spices to whatever culinary treasures you’re into.
Step outside and relax on the wide front porch. It’s the kind of spot that invites you to grab a drink and enjoy the neighborhood vibe, whether it’s morning coffee or an evening sunset. And let’s not forget about the backyard—there’s a large shed for all of your bikes and gear, an off-street parking pad, and a lovely edible garden featuring garlic, figs and more. The front yard’s perennial garden is a beauty with a large grassy area. The fully fenced in lot makes being a pet parent a breeze - just open the door and go.
And the location? It doesn’t get better than this. You’re walkable to Takoma Park, which means coffee shops, bookstores, restaurants, and even the Metro are all just a short stroll away. In the other direction, hit up the new Whole Foods at Walter Reed, or stroll through Rock Creek Park. So whether you’re grabbing a latte, picking up a new read, or hopping on the train, it’s all right at your doorstep.
