Description

Our lovely and comfortable bungalow-style house is located on a quiet, dead-end tree-lined street in Takoma Park, only a short metro ride or drive to Washington, D.C. The house is fully furnished with two bedrooms and 3 baths. The large family room has a smart TV and baby-grand Steinway piano (in excellent condition). A sparsely furnished second living room is perfect for yoga or reading. The modern kitchen is fully stocked. The den has a very comfortable pull-out couch (converts to a platform – no metal bar), a TV, treadmill, and a bathroom with a shower. The master bedroom has a queen bed with an organic mattress, a vaulted wood ceiling, and master bath with jacuzzi tub. The house has wood, cork and tile floors (no wall-to-wall carpet), central AC, and a long screened-in porch with a table that seats 6-8 and extra side chairs and tables. A “writer’s cabin,” with a large desk and AC, is a perfect retreat for writers or musicians. It can also be used as an artist’s studio. The cabin’s French doors and windows face the garden. The fenced-in backyard has a slate patio with outdoor furniture and charcoal grill, and a beautifully landscaped garden, Main Floor: --family room (an addition) --second living room (original) --dining room --modern kitchen --den with pull-out couch --bath with shower --laundry room --screened-in porch Second Floor: --master bedroom (queen bed) --master bathroom --second bedroom (queen bed) --full bath --study Takoma Park is a progressive, safe and welcoming small town with lots of community events.
