This incredibly well maintained home is ready for its next owner - will it be you? Situated on a large corner lot on Butternut street, this home starts outside with extensive landscaped grounds with edible plantings and raised off street level. Walking up the slate front walkway, you can enjoy morning coffee or end of day glass of wine on the spacious front porch. Walking inside, the open main level is drenched in light throughout the day, with hardwood floors, a grand staircase up the the second level, and separate rooms with sight lines to each other. The kitchen has loads of storage in both cabinetry and butlers pantry, with a newer dishwasher and fridge. The living room has a working wood burning fireplace with a new insert, chimney chase, and mantel. The dining room and front entry get tons of light, great for puzzles and dinner parties alike. Off the basement stairway you'll find a powder room and separate exterior door access to the basement.

Upstairs, the hall bath has been totally renovated with a large walk in shower, Euro toilet, stacking laundry, and new vanity cabinet, making clever use of the space. Three spacious bedrooms are on this level, each with large windows. The primary bedroom has an exterior balcony and two closets with plenty of room for an ensuite bath upgrade in the future. The attic level offers a fourth bedroom space, great playroom, craft room, or office space, with plenty of under eave storage. The slate roof has been repaired, re-flashed, re-sealed gutters, and re-built chimney - will last a long time! The roof has been fully insulated for maximum energy efficiency.

In the basement, you'll find another full bathroom, and additional laundry space, a large recreation room and a fifth bedroom/flex space. Great for guests, and easily adaptable for airbnb or other rental income. HVACs for both upstairs and down are brand new, backyard deck was recently built, and there is a driveway with off-street parking just off the kitchen exterior door for easy grocery unloading.

Nearby, you have access to the best of Takoma, just blocks from Lost Sock Brewing, Donut Run, Takoma Metro Station, Whole Foods, Takoma Bev Co, Kin-Da, Roscoes, the metropolitan branch bike trail, Takoma Rec Center, and less than a mile to Rock Creek Parkway.
