Welcome to 428 Whittier Street NW, a classic bungalow home ideally positioned near many of Takoma’s most enjoyed amenities. Built circa 1925, the home has been carefully updated to balance its original character with modern functionality. Original wood trim, French doors, delightful built-ins, and period fittings reflect the home’s architectural roots, all within easy reach of Takoma Metro, the Takoma Aquatic Center, and the Takoma Recreation Center.
An expansive covered front porch leads into the foyer, which opens through French doors to the main living space. The living room is anchored by a brick fireplace and built-in shelving. A casement opening connects the living room to the dining room, which features drum lighting and chair rail molding. Beyond the dining area, a flexible sunroom with a mini-split system provides space for a home office or sitting room and offers access to the powder room. The updated kitchen is finished with glass tile accents, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass-front cabinetry, and a five-burner gas range, with direct access to the deck, stamped patio, and private backyard.
The upper level includes three light-filled bedrooms with wood flooring and a renovated bathroom with wood-look tile flooring and a glass-enclosed tub and shower combination. One bedroom offers a built-in desk, display shelving, and a walk-in closet. Another includes an alcove well suited for a desk or dressing area. The third bedroom features built-ins, crown molding, and a walk-in closet with access to a fixed staircase leading to the attic.
The lower level adds valuable flexibility, serving as a family room or potential in-law suite. This level includes a full bathroom, laundry area, and storage. The family room is enhanced by recessed lighting, a retro bar area, and a mini-split system.
The picturesque front exterior features stone hardscaping, a stamped concrete pathway, azaleas, and sidewalks. The deep backyard offers a private fenced yard, a stamped concrete patio ideal for a fire pit, and a shed. This location delivers both appeal and accessibility, set steps away from the Aquatic Center and Recreation Center, just 0.6 miles to the Metro, minutes from the major redevelopment at Walter Reed, the local farmers market, Takoma Beverage Company, and concerts in the park. Urban living in a dynamic community at its best!...
