An inviting wraparound porch is a main feature of the exterior. In the backyard, it provides a place to dine al fresco or entertain. The flat yard is dotted with mature trees, and an additional patio provides another gathering space.

A detached two-car garage could be adapted as a studio or workshop.

The home is on a tree-lined street in the Takoma Park Historic District, where you can walk to parks, shops, restaurants and the Red Line.
