Welcome to this fairy-tale brick cottage, accented with stone details and surrounded by lush front and side gardens, on the vibrant and convivial Poplar Avenue! Built in 1940, this distinctive home is rich in architectural character, featuring gorgeous woodwork, high ceilings, an updated kitchen, picture windows, and delightful nooks and crannies. The arched wood front door, framed by beautiful stone masonry, opens to a charming vestibule with a deep closet. Inside, the bright living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, crown molding, and a modern ceiling fan. At the heart of the home, the kitchen, dining area, and TV room flow together seamlessly, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The bright, expanded kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring granite counters, a gas cooktop, skylights, an island, two wall ovens, two sinks, a pantry, and vaulted ceilings. With direct access to the large side deck, the kitchen makes it easy to enjoy outdoor dining and relaxation. The dining area and TV room extend the warmth of this space, providing a comfortable gathering place for family and friends. The main level includes a laundry room, two light-filled bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a generous bedroom with a gabled ceiling, eave storage, a walk-in closet and a walk-through closet, and a dual-entry bathroom with jetted spa tub. The lower level, filled with natural light, provides incredible flexibility, featuring a recreation or play room with display shelving and an exterior exit, an office, an in-law suite with updated bathroom and wood-look tile flooring, plus a mudroom with a side exterior entrance, and windows looking out into the garden.
 Outside, the generously sized, fully-fenced corner lot is a gardener’s paradise, featuring fruit-bearing trees – whose bounty of peaches, figs, pomegranates, persimmons, and sour cherries can be shared with neighbors — along with pear, plum, paw paw and jujube trees that have yet to produce fruit. Six majestic redwoods and a vibrant array of plantings enhance the lush landscape. A large deck, a stone patio, and convenient driveway complete this enchanting and special property. Located in the heart of eclectic and lively Takoma Park, this home sits just steps to Spring Park’s playgrounds and sports courts. Experience the warmth of a true community, with easy walkable access to local shopping, dining, and entertainment in both Takoma Park and downtown Silver Spring. Ideally situated just over a half-mile to the Red Line Metro, and mere blocks from the food co-op, Soko butcher, weekly farmer’s market, Takoma Beverage Company and Motorkat and Busboys and Poets, People’s Book and HouseMouse Books and Vintage, as well as Old Takoma Ace Hardware, and the expanded Cielo Rojo. A magical home in an unbeatable location—Takoma Park living at its finest!

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.
