About This Home
As of August 2025This is a one of a kind property - it's a must see! Built in 1928 from The Uriel Sears Kit, complete with the original bill of lading, this classic Takoma Park Bungalow sits on a massive wooded lot with access to Forest Park. Recently updated, with a new roof, LVP flooring in basement, fully painted, and new light fixtures. Check out video tours!
Starting at the street, you'll find a beautifully landscaped front garden with a stone path to the front porch. The fenced front yard has a well-utilized little free library and a very productive Persimmon Tree that bears bushels of fruit each year for eating & sharing with neighbors.
Just inside the front door, you'll find a large open living room and the original dining space, now complete with a stone hearth, woodstove, built in bookcases, and well maintained original windows. On the main level are two nice size bedrooms and a full bathroom. Beyond the living space is a well fitted kitchen with large pantry, a peninsula island for additional counterspace, stainless steel appliances and a gas stove. The old rear porch is now a full inclosed dining space with entry to the massive rear deck. The rear deck is flanked on three sides by a mature flowering Kiwi vine that covers the deck in blooms in the spring.
Beyond the deck, you'll find the cure to almost all that ails you - mature forest views as far as the eye can see, replete with bird calls, blooms, and greenery year round. The 1/3 acre yard stretches down to a central culvert that drains extra rain during rainy season, offering seasonal burbling brook sounds, and continues partway up the hill. It is one of the most magnificent private yards in the DC metro area, allowing forest bathing, peaceful meditation, and a real escape from the hustle of the city just through your back door.
Upstairs, the attic framed primary bedroom has three recently replaced skylights that offer stunning treetop views and gorgeous NE facing sunrises each morning. A half bath tucked into the eaves allows easy access to your morning and evening ablutions. On the opposite side of the upstairs is an semi-enclosed space perfect as a nursery, office, or dressing room.
The basement level is accessed through the kitchen with gorgeously renovated wide wood stairs and is fully finished on one half of the space, complete with egress window, built in floor to ceiling bookcases, a book nook w/ a large built in bench, and a full bathroom. On the storage side of the basement, you'll find washer/dryer space, mechanical equipment and loads of built in storage. The back half of the basement is full above ground, with a walk out exterior entrance to a large rebuilt stoop and stairs down into the yard.
Underneath the deck has been used as a pottery studio for many years, and offers a load of extra covered space for the new owners to use how they imagine. Out in the yard is a firepit, and the driveway on the side of the house continues down to a detached one stall garage/storage area.
The bones of this Sears kit home are solid, and the character of the original build shines throughout the house. The land is stunning, and the combination of a well-built almost 100 year old home on this exquisite land is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Located just 3 blocks from Takoma Park Co-op, Cielo Rojo, Spring Mill Bread Co, Soko, Still Point Spa, and under a mile from downtown Takoma Park, and the Takoma Park Metro.
