Welcome to 6610 Poplar Avenue — a renovated woodland cottage full of warmth, character, and income potential. Originally built in 1924, this enchanting home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its timeless charm, and it includes a separate, fully equipped one-bedroom lower-level apartment. A covered front porch with a tongue-and-groove ceiling sets the tone, inviting you into a space rich with architectural detail. Inside, the main level features original refinished Red Pine floors, vintage touches, and wonderful natural light. The sun-lit living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace and flows effortlessly into the open dining area. The beautifully renovated kitchen is a standout, offering honed granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, clever custom cabinetry, excellent prep space, and stackable laundry. It opens into a cheerful breakfast room, flooded with light. Just beyond, a covered rear porch with a vaulted gabled ceiling overlooks the picturesque backyard — a perfect spot to relax or dine outdoors. This level also includes two spacious bedrooms with wood flooring, overhead lighting, mini-split systems, and an updated full bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find a large bedroom with two charming nooks — ideal for a reading area, home office, or creative space. The bright lower-level one-bedroom apartment / in-law suite offers excellent rental potential and features its own private entrances, cement flooring, a living area, a granite kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom, and in-unit laundry. It also has access to the backyard and patio, as well as a separate storage room accessed from the exterior. All of the furnishings in the rental apartment are negotiable for sale. Set on a generous, private lot, the property is surrounded by vibrant landscaping and mature plantings. Outdoor amenities include a Trex rear porch, an expansive rear patio with space for a firepit, a large fenced backyard with a deer fence, a private driveway, and charming brick paver walkways. This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive home in a wooded Takoma Park setting — with space, flexibility, and potential income, all in one beautiful package. Additionally, the home is equipped with leased solar panels, providing an energy-efficient and eco-friendly benefit. This residence is adjacent to the tranquil 6.5-acre Sligo Mill Neighborhood Conservation Area, an undeveloped parkland managed by the City of Takoma Park. This peaceful retreat is home to a lush tree canopy, Takoma Branch Creek, and local wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and birds. Nearby, Sligo Mill Overlook Neighborhood Park features a playground and a community garden maintained by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC). Enjoy easy access to downtown DC via North Capitol Street (just a 20-minute drive), Metro, or bus. A community garden and playground are just half a block away, and numerous walking trails weave through the neighborhood, fostering a deep connection to nature. Experience the best of Takoma Park—a vibrant, tight-knit community with convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and the Takoma Metro Station, just about a mile away.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
