Quaint Cape Cod home in Takoma seeks $750K

Located at 6625 Piney Branch Rd. NW in D.C.’s leafy Takoma neighborhood, this Cape Cod-style home features hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, and a spacious sun room in the rear.

The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Listing for $750,000, it’s just half a mile to the neighborhood’s Metro station and public library. The kitchen has granite countertops, and there’s a Safeway on Piney Branch Road that’s only a two-minute walk away. The front porch offers a great place for sitting and enjoying warm evenings. The basement is finished.

The home comes with a small backyard, a driveway that could fit a few cars, and a shed. It’s about halfway between the family-friendly Takoma Community Center, which has basketball and tennis courts and a 17-lane, 25-yard pool, and the Fort Stevens Recreation Center. Rock Creek Park is also a 15-minute walk away. Being redeveloped, the Walter Reed site is nearby.

Walter Reed will include over 3 million square feet of mixed-use projects. Long and Foster’s Walt Johnson is the listing agent. An open house is set for Sept. 16 from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
