Upstairs, a lofted den with an interior window overlooking the living area below rounds out the unit, adding flexible space ideal for a home office or guest quarters. The listing also comes with a parking space.

One-Of-A-Kind In Takoma Park

This expanded Takoma Park home on a 10,000 square-foot lot was built with sustainability at its core — the rear addition uses straw bale and natural plaster construction, while green roofs, salvaged materials, locally milled wood, and a stormwater management system round out the eco-conscious credentials. Inside, the layout spans four levels and delivers an impressive range of spaces, from a vaulted great room with heated floors to a large eat-in kitchen with a pellet stove, a music/library room, and a family room with a built-in reading nook. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a primary suite with a private balcony and spa bath featuring a glass-tile jetted tub and mosaic-tiled walls. A legal one-bedroom accessory apartment with a full kitchen and high ceilings in the lower level adds valuable flexibility.

• Price: $1,795,000
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: 3.5
