About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to this spacious four-level detached Victorian-era home in the Takoma Park Historic District in DC, brimming with original details and charm. With soaring ceilings, generous proportions, inviting formal rooms, and countless possibilities, this unique property is move-in ready and awaiting the next owner's personal touch.

The wide columned front porch overlooks a lovely front garden and opens into a classic reception hall with original wood staircase and gorgeous stained glass window. The grand living room connects to a formal dining room via a bonus den with wood-burning fireplace, period mantel, and coat closet. All rooms are flooded with natural light from numerous oversized windows. The large, bright kitchen features abundant storage space and opens to an inviting sun porch overlooking the expansive backyard. A half bath adjacent to the kitchen completes the first floor.

On the second level, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and a charming hall bathroom with clawfoot soaking tub. The rear primary bedroom connects to a second living space - use it as the perfect home office or dressing room or create the primary bathroom of your dreams. Fixed stairs lead up to the third floor with center study with window nook and two potential additional bedrooms, offices, or play spaces. Downstairs, the full lower level with private side entrance and laundry area provides tremendous storage or a great workspace.

This stately home is sited on a beautiful 8,000+ square foot lot with gorgeous mature trees and plantings, a greenhouse/solarium, a detached double garage, fenced backyard, and abundant off-street parking in the rear driveway. Located just off Piney Branch Road, this special property is just 3 blocks from the red line Metro, one block from the Takoma DC library, and a short distance from the popular Takoma Park farmers’ market. Great proximity to numerous local parks, the Takoma Recreation and Aquatic Center, Lost Sock Roasters, Takoma Beverage Co., Motorkat, live music at Takoma Station, and plenty of other dining, shopping, and retail in this vibrant and popular neighborhood.
