About this home
Welcome to 428 Whittier Street NW, a classic bungalow ideally positioned near many of Takoma’s most enjoyed amenities. Built circa 1925, this charming home has been thoughtfully updated for modern living while preserving its original character. Recent improvements include beautifully refinished wood floors and replacement windows, complementing the home's original wood trim, French doors, delightful built-ins, and period details. All of this is just moments from the Takoma Metro, Takoma Aquatic Center, and 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 refinished wood flooring and a renovated bathroom featuring 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 finished lower level adds valuable flexibility, serving as a family room, recreation space, 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 exterior features stone hardscaping, a stamped concrete walkway, azaleas, and a welcoming front yard. The deep, fenced backyard offers exceptional privacy, a stamped concrete patio ideal for outdoor entertaining or a fire pit, and a storage shed.
This location delivers both charm and convenience, just steps from the Aquatic Center and Recreation Center, approximately 0.6 miles from the Metro, and minutes from the exciting redevelopment at Walter Reed. Enjoy easy access to the Takoma Farmers Market, Takoma Beverage Company, neighborhood parks, and community concerts. Urban living in one of DC’s most vibrant neighborhoods....
