Property Description
Just off the main living spaces, two generously proportioned bedrooms offer excellent closet space and flexibility. One is ideally suited as a peaceful primary bedroom, while the second can easily accommodate guests, a home office, or a combination of both. A beautifully renovated central hall bath features elevated finishes that complement the kitchen and give the home a cohesive, move-in-ready feel. The large lower level provides outstanding potential for future expansion. Currently offering abundant storage and flexible utility space, it presents an opportunity to create additional finished living space, a recreation room, home gym, office, or other uses tailored to the next owner's needs. Outdoor living is a defining feature of 120 Van Buren Street NW. The welcoming front porch provides the perfect place to unwind, while the expansive rear yard creates a private urban retreat. Beautiful hardscaping and a fully fenced setting offer plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or pets, while off-street parking adds valuable everyday convenience.
Ideally located within walking distance of Takoma Metro, neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shops, and everyday conveniences, the home makes it easy to enjoy the best of Takoma and Brightwood without relying on a car. Nearby parks, grocery stores, and neighborhood destinations further enhance the lifestyle, while Metro provides convenient connectivity to downtown Washington and beyond. Combining original 1920s charm, renovated interiors, exceptional outdoor space, off-street parking, walkability to Metro and neighborhood favorites, and exciting expansion potential, 120 Van Buren Street NW presents a rare opportunity to own a quintessential D.C. cottage in one of Washington D.C.'s most inviting neighborhoods.
