Takoma Park, Maryland 20912

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.
