Post & Beam, Cabin/Lodge, Contemporary

DEADLINE FOR OFFERS Wednesday, August 7th at 10a. Nestled among trees and overlooking Sligo Creek, this extraordinary Takoma Park home offers uninterrupted views of the forest and park from all three levels. The post-and-beam style residence, a personal project of a local architect, features a stunning interior reminiscent of a New England cabin, creating a sense of escape just 30 minutes from downtown Washington, DC. Accessible from Hayward Ct or Colby Ave, you can either climb stairs through lush, forested grounds or arrive at the large, flat parking area, yard, and expansive deck. Once inside, the main level impresses with its vaulted ceiling and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light and stunning views. The kitchen is a culinary delight with its large island, quartz countertops, bespoke cabinets, and glass tile backsplash. Enjoy a meal in the dining room with spectacular views, or for an even better view, off the living room is a covered porch with skylights. Dine Alfresco and submerge yourself in the tree canopy that makes you feel like you’re in your own private treehouse. For convenience and flexibility, there is a main-level bedroom that is currently being used as an office, a tiled mudroom with a full bathroom, and laundry off the kitchen. On the upper level, the bright and airy primary suite is the perfect place to unwind. It boasts an office or seating area, a large walk-in closet, and a gorgeous ensuite bath with a skylight and high-end finishes. This floor also includes two additional well-sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space, and an updated hall bath. The light-filled lower level features an inviting entry foyer that leads to a large room, which can serve as a bedroom, entertainment area, or office. On the opposite side, you'll find a versatile space offering numerous possibilities to suit your lifestyle, including the potential for an additional sixth bedroom, a workshop, a gym, or more. It’s fully above grade on two sides and accessible both from inside the house and via a separate entrance on Hayward Court. With a full bathroom, this layout provides the flexibility to create a separate in-law suite or studio, depending on your needs. This exceptionally unique home combines seclusion with convenience, offering a private retreat that’s still close to everything you need! Takoma Park is a vibrant small town with a ton to offer. Top restaurants like Cielo Rojo, Seoul Food DC, Motorcat, and The Girl and the Vine are area favorites. The Co-Op and Soko, a butcher shop, are an easy walk for grabbing groceries. Coffee shops like Takoma Beverage Company and Koma are also nearby, as are fabulous retailers like People’s Books and Indigro Plants.
