Upon entering, one cannot miss the well maintained original wood trim, the cozy fireplace and beautiful windows throughout the main level. The living room opens to a spacious, light-filled dining room connecting to the remodeled kitchen via breakfast bar. The kitchen boasts upscale stainless appliances and plenty of stone counter space to make food prep a breeze. It also includes a massive walk-in pantry. Also on this level are two bedrooms, one currently used as an office, and a full updated bathroom. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, a lounge/family room and plenty of hidden storage in the home's eaves. One of the two upper level bedrooms could easily be converted into a full bathroom to make a grand master suite. On the lower level is a laundry room, plenty of storage and an independent apartment. The second residence includes an open kitchen, living room, full bath, bedroom, and plenty of closets. Inside this level's utility room, buyers will happily find a brand new hot water heater and a nearly new boiler for the radiators. The AC system has also been recently replaced along with the entire roof, which was replaced in 2018. The large landscaped yard is a gardener's paradise and includes multiple sitting areas. There is also a garage with a brand new roof. All this just a couple of blocks from the Walter Reed redevelopment and just a couple more to downtown Takoma Park and the Metro station.
