Property Description

Interior photos coming soon! A truly exceptional offering, this one-of-a-kind historic residence stands apart. Built circa 1912, this stately Grand Dame offers seven bedrooms and three full bathrooms, and showcases glorious architectural details, period moldings, wood flooring, six panel doors, corbels, custom millwork, vintage glass doorknobs, antique pocket doors, high ceilings, generous room sizes, and excellent space for entertaining both indoors and out. The layout features an expansive covered front porch overlooking the beautifully landscaped front yard, along with a foyer entrance highlighted by an exquisite historic wood door with a large glass panel and textured detailing, and a convenient built in bench. The light-filled living room features a bay style window, crown molding, and flows into the dining room through pocket doors, where you will find a chandelier and elongated windows. The living and dining room floors are spectacular, with a central field pattern bordered by a contrasting perimeter design that showcases classic period craftsmanship. The large kitchen is modernized with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a gas range with five burners and a griddle, an island with a breakfast bar, recessed lighting, a pantry, and access to the covered rear porch. The main level is complete with a primary bedroom suite featuring striking wood details, a ceiling fan and an en suite full bathroom. The second level offers four bedrooms with rich wood flooring and a renovated bathroom with a claw tub, Travertine flooring, a separate shower, and a period window featuring an intricate metal design characteristic of early 1900s craftsmanship. Two of the bedrooms open to what was once known as the sleeping porch, now a versatile space that could serve as an office or sitting room. The two front bedrooms overlook the front balcony, with one offering direct access to it. The third level includes two additional bedrooms with sconce lighting, triple windows, and eave storage. There is also a full bathroom with a claw tub on this level, along with access to abundant attic storage. The unfinished basement provides substantial storage space, laundry facilities, and a toilet closet. The grounds are exceptional, set on a 19,525 square foot lot with blooming flower beds and two large, enclosed gardens filled with daffodils and seasonal plantings, enclosed with deer fencing. Outdoor features include a quintessential covered front porch, perfect for entertaining or visiting neighbors, a large, screened porch at the rear, two outbuildings, and plentiful parking. Alley access to the property provides additional parking options. This location delivers both appeal and accessibility, set steps from the Aquatic Center and Recreation Center, approximately 0.3 miles to the Metro, and minutes to the major redevelopment at Walter Reed, the local farmers market, Busboys and Poets, Takoma Beverage Company, and concerts in the park. Urban living in a dynamic community at its best!
