**Professional photos coming Friday. Join us for Open Houses Saturday (7/18) and Sunday (7/19) from 1:00 to 3:00 PM.** Combining timeless character, a highly sought-after floor plan with three bedrooms on the upper level, and one of the neighborhood's most exceptional lots, this classic brick Cape Cod offers a combination that's hard to find in Takoma Park. Natural light fills the home's inviting living spaces, from the spacious living room with its wood-burning fireplace to the formal dining room, well-appointed kitchen, and the sunroom/family room overlooking the backyard. Freshly painted throughout with refinished hardwood floors, the home offers timeless character with a fresh, updated feel. Bathed in natural light, the sunroom/family room creates an inviting gathering space that's perfect for everyday living, whether enjoying a quiet morning, spending time with family, or simply relaxing while overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. The finished lower level is anchored by a spacious recreation room, creating the perfect setting for movie nights, game days, or simply relaxing. A full bathroom, abundant storage, and a separate entrance to the backyard complete the level, along with additional space that's equally well suited for a home office, fitness area, or comfortable retreat for overnight guests. The exceptional outdoor spaces are equally impressive. Set on a private, beautifully landscaped level lot, the backyard offers a wonderful blend of mature trees, generous lawn space, a brick patio, and a storage shed, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, gardening, play, or simply relaxing. An attached garage adds everyday convenience, while Hardie Plank siding and a premium roof with a lifetime warranty provide lasting peace of mind. Just a short stroll from Long Branch Trail and neighborhood playgrounds, this home also enjoys easy access to the shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences of Takoma Park. Enjoy all the benefits of the Takoma Park lifestyle while being outside the City of Takoma Park, without the added city property taxes. With easy access to Metro, Washington, DC, and major commuter routes, the location is as convenient as it is desirable. Combining classic architecture, thoughtful updates, an expanded first floor, a sought-after three-bedroom upper level, and one of the neighborhood's most exceptional lots, this home offers a rare opportunity in Takoma Park.
