Best New Listings: Cleveland Park, Takoma Park and Embassy Row

• March 9, 2012

by Shilpi Paul

In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, we look at a multi-use duplex in Takoma Park, a 1,560 square-foot co-op in North Cleveland Park, and a five-bedroom colonial on Massachusetts Avenue.

A Multi-Use Takoma Park Duplex

This sun-filled duplex in Takoma Park sits about a block from Carroll Avenue and a five-minute walk from the Metro. The house, which consists of two units, is well maintained, sturdy and charming. Both units have a fireplace in the living room and a screened-in front porch, which the current residents fill with comfy seating and what looks like a day bed. The small guest house in the backyard has a sleeping loft, and the finished basement is currently being used as an exercise room.

• Full listing: 7135 Maple Ave, Takoma Park, MD (map)
• Price: $875,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1921
• Listing Agent: Meg Finn, Long & Foster

1,560 Square-Foot Co-op in a Cleveland Park Tudor

This three-bedroom co-op in a Tudor building in North Cleveland Park has a very large living space that is lit up by windows and offers several different seating areas. The kitchen is a little tight, but the unit appears to have some nice views into the leafy, quiet neighborhood nearby. Like many co-ops, the monthly fees might induce some sticker shock. At $862, the fee (includes property taxes) is steep, but for buyers willing to pay and work with a co-op board, this is a mellow, peaceful option.

• Full listing: 3016 Tilden Street NW, #201 (map)
• Price: $650,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,560
• Listing Agent: Joseph Berman, Long & Foster

Large Massachusetts Avenue Home With a Lighthouse Getaway

This five-bedroom, 3,600-square foot home is located just west of Wisconsin Avenue on a less-trafficky section of Massachusetts Avenue. The recently renovated four-story home has five bedrooms, a fancy sound system, a landscaped yard, and a beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. Our favorite part, however, is the finished attic — the sloped ceilings and rounded windows make it feel like a lighthouse getaway.

• Full listing: 3917 Massachusetts Ave NW (map)
• Price: $1.399 million
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Square Footage: 3,600
• Listing Agent: Nancy Itteilag, Long & Foster
