Curb Appeal in Takoma Park

Like the majority of Takoma Park bungalows, this five-bedroom has impressive curb appeal. A wide set of steps leads to a generous front porch, and then into a living room with a fireplace. The dining room to the right leads back to a two-person breakfast bar and the kitchen. A bright sunroom with windows spanning all three outward facing walls gets a lot of natural light and has views of perhaps the home’s best assets: a good-sized deck and a deep backyard.
