Welcome to this extraordinary modern Craftsman Colonial, built in 2014, and perfectly situated in a picturesque setting beside the tranquil Takoma Branch Stream. From the moment you arrive, the soothing sounds of babbling water and the charming covered front porch create an irresistible first impression. This home combines natural beauty, thoughtful design, and an enviable location!

Inside, the open-concept layout is as versatile as it is stylish, offering beautifully proportioned rooms and a seamless flow for daily living, work, and entertaining. The home is filled with natural light and enhanced by rich hardwood flooring, classic trims, recessed LED lighting, and striking double-paned windows that frame scenic views and invite the outdoors in. A brick driveway leads to the inviting front porch, which opens into a warm and functional foyer with a coat closet.

The spacious living room features a wall of windows, a fireplace with glass doors, and a dramatic spoked chandelier. Adjacent is the open dining area, complete with an elongated modern farmhouse chandelier and room to host memorable gatherings. The chef’s kitchen is a dream—equipped with GE stainless steel appliance (with a Bosch dishwasher), granite countertops, a gas range, a center island, soft-close cabinetry, pendant and recessed lighting, a pantry, and a built-in desk area. The kitchen opens directly into the cozy family room, where French doors lead out to an amazing composite deck overlooking the stream. A sunny main-level bedroom and full bathroom complete this floor, perfect for guests or a quiet workspace.

Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include a showstopping primary suite with wall-to-wall carpeting, custom blinds, a huge walk-in closet, and a serene en-suite bath. The spa-like bathroom offers a soaking tub with floor-mounted filler, glass-enclosed shower with bench seating and a niche, double vanity, and elegant marble hexagon tile flooring. Two additional bedrooms on this level each feature deep closets, charming, wallpapered accent walls, and recessed lighting. This level also includes a hall bathroom with a double vanity and a convenient laundry room.

The expansive walk-out lower level offers tremendous flexibility and function. Enjoy a large recreation room with a wet bar with two wine refrigerators and sleek cabinetry, a Jack-and-Jill full bathroom, a fifth bedroom or au pair suite, a gym or bonus room, and a large storage room.
The outdoor spaces of this home are equally enchanting. Relax on the front porch or unwind on the fabulous deck as you listen to the babbling stream below. A lower patio with pleasing pergola, and a flat, fenced backyard make the outdoor space perfect for entertaining play, or pets. The exterior is clad in durable Hardiplank siding. A private driveway provides ample parking and includes an EV charging station.
Ideally located in eclectic, community-minded Takoma Park, this home offers not just a place to live but a lifestyle to love. Enjoy block parties, Halloween parades, and the neighborhood’s beloved Turkey Fry tradition. All just moments from local gems like the Takoma Farmers Market, Cielo Rojo, Busboys and Poets, Takoma Urban Park, and more. We’ll see you there!
