You’ll savor the open, updated kitchen with expanded counter space, gold boomerang pulls, solid wood, soft close cabinets & drawers, green glass tile backsplash, quartz countertops, under-mount sink, stainless steel appliances, & recessed lights.

You’ll enjoy the quick, 1/3rd of a mile stroll to The Parks at Walter Reed & its new Whole Foods, Jinya Ramen Bar, & forthcoming Charmery Ice Cream shop (Summer 2024). Walk in the other direction, just a half mile to Lost Sock Roasters, Donut Run, Takoma Metro and Takoma Park and its copious shops & restaurants.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
