This charming Takoma Park colonial is available immediately. Located on a bucolic, quiet block in the heart of the desirable “Between the Creeks” neighborhood, this home is steps to Sligo Creek Park and accessible to all of the great shops, restaurants and transportation Takoma Park is known for. Upon entering the home, the fireplace, hardwood floors, and built-in bookshelves set the tone and warmly invite you in. From the living room, you can access the tranquil screened porch and a sunny rear addition with exposed brick and a half bathroom. The home’s formal dining room and retro kitchen add to the yesteryear charm. The three bedrooms upstairs feature original wood floors and share a full bathroom with vintage tiles and a bathtub. The unfinished basement offers private laundry and an abundance of storage. Out back, you’ll find a flat, private yard. Smack in the heart of the “Between the Creeks” part of Takoma Park, the neighborhood is perfectly situated between Sligo Creek to the south (and the 20+ miles of trails alongside it) and Long Branch Creek to the north. Hike, run, bike, walk, play—it’s all right here. The nearby town of Takoma Park and Takoma Crossing shopping area boasts many great small businesses that make this area tick. The Takoma Park Silver Spring Co-op is a great small grocery and SOKO butcher shop is the real deal. Other local favorites include Spring Mill Bread, Cielo Rojo, DC Seoul Food, The Still Point Spa, and MAD Fitness. The Takoma Park Metro is on the red line, an artery right into Washington DC. Driving to the heart of the city takes about 30 minutes. North of this property is the future location of the Purple Line, connecting the area to Bethesda and College Park and everything in between. Easy access to 495 on either University Blvd. or New Hampshire Blvd. means BWI airport is only about 40 minutes away. Please no smokers. Pets OK on a case-by-case basis with a pet deposit.
