About This Home

Sun-Kissed One-Bedroom Condo Three Blocks From the Takoma Metro Station (Red-Line) This gorgeous unit within Whittier Gardens Condominium is just waiting to be called home. Seize the day and schedule a tour. This unit is certain to move quickly. Only steps from the building entrance, Unit #102 provides almost immediate access to your domicile. Pass through the front door and find yourself in a gracious central foyer equipped with a modular Elfa coat closet and plenty of space to welcome you and your guests. The tranquil living area with Northeastern exposure boasts large windows, another Elfa closet, and roominess that invites your furniture to become a fixture. Across the foyer, opposite from the living area, a generous kitchen with stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas-burning range awaits. Beyond the kitchen, the best is yet to come. Step down into a dynamic den that beckons to be your office, library, gym, or a combination of all your accessory purposes. Laden with windows, and sills fit for foliage, this amazing space provides great views of the common lawn and private access from the unit from the condominium walks. If you have furry friends, this is sure to be your "doggy-door" and/or "CATio". The third path off of the foyer leads you to your me-space. A laundry closet houses stacked ventless washer & dryer units. The bathroom has a black-and-white aesthetic with a subway-tiled shower, cohesive tile flooring, and matching wall paint, and, yet another window to keep the space airy. Across from the bathroom is your place of rest. Your bedroom has plenty of space for a queen bed (or larger), nightstands, drawers, and last, but not least, a third Elfa closet. The Whittier Gardens Condominium offers unfussy community amenities within the building and a vast courtyard green space just outside your doors. In addition to in-unit laundry, you also have access to a shared washer/dryer for larger textiles. A bike room and a unit-dedicated storage space are also included. The HOA has you covered for landscaping, trash removal, and commons repairs as well. Takoma is a fan favorite for those in the know. A true neighborhood, Takoma is filled with vibrance with local vendors that cater to food, fashion, and culture, along with horticulture. Safeway grocery is a 3/4 mile walk from your front door. If farmer's markets are more your style, check out the Takoma Park Farmers Market on Sundays. Consistently rated one of the best local markets in the DMV, this seven-minute walk across the Maryland border will become a Sunday staple. Be sure to check out all of the unique sundry shops along the way as well. Work and play just a block away at the Takoma Community Center. This sprawling campus includes an aquatic center, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, a soccer field, and a community garden.
