Enjoy this custom-built home in a charming neighborhood within easy walking distance to the Takoma Metro. There is something special about this house, its spaciousness, its open layout - it invites good times and a relaxing place to be after a day in the city.brbrThe house is wonderful; all the rooms are very large, with hardwood floors, high ceilings and lots of light. The huge kitchen with island and open breakfast room is easily the center of the home. Everyone loves to gather here. Right off the kitchen is the family room with French doors that take you out to a deck, where you can sit under 200 year old oak trees. This room has the TV, which you can also see from the kitchen. The gracious, separate dining room and inviting living room give everyone a place to spread out or to gather and entertain. brbrThe primary bedroom with king-size bed has an adjoining, all-windowed office that has been turned into a separate smaller 4th bedroom. It now holds a cot, a foldout-small couch, and a pack -n play/crib. The two-room bath has the largest jacuzzi tub you've ever seen. The other two bedrooms offer restful spaciousness, with queen-sized beds, reading nooks and plenty of closet space. They share a recently remodeled bathroom at the end of the hall. brbrThis house would be perfect for one family; extended family; 3 couples, or two families with children. Montgomery County has placed a limit of 6 adults, and up to 5 children.brbrEnjoy coffee on the front porch, or barbecuing on the back deck, or lounging in front of the TV. The openness of the house makes it an easy place to cook and share great meals, relax, and enjoy each other's company.brbrAll amenities are provided, including: linens, fully equipped kitchen, flat-screen TVs, comfortable furniture on the front porch and back deck, w/d, central air.

It's a less than 10 minute walk up the street to the center of town, which has several great restaurants and fun shops. There's everything you need to make your trip enjoyable and easy. The celebrated Takoma Farmers Market is on Sundays.brbrGo two more blocks from the center of town to catch the Takoma Metro. A straight walk from the house takes 15 minutes. If you'd rather drive up, there is a large parking lot at the station. The Metro train ride to the beautiful Union Station is just 10 minutes. You can be at the White House, the Mall or the National Gallery in less than 25 minutes.brbrThere is a very nice couple living downstairs in an apartment the ground floor. Please be considerate of noise. We have assured them that guests will be especially quiet between 10pm and 9am. Thank you!brbrPlease park in the gravelly area at the side of the house, just near the side door, where there is room for 2 cars. If you have more than 2 cars, you must park any others down on Westmoreland Avenue. Please do not ever park on First Street. If you have visitors, please tell them this.brbrIf you are using the washing machine, please don't load it too full. It seems to want to stop mid-cycle if loaded more than about 2/3 full. brbrWe are not allowing any parties or gatherings at the house. If you have any guests at all over to the house, please let us know, and please be sure to let them know about the parking and the apartment in the basement. brbrPlease also let us know if you are planning on bringing a pet. The charge is $50/stay/pet.brbrPlease leave the house in the condition you found it. Empty the garbage/trash in the kitchen and take to the garbage cans that are outside the mudroom door in the pen to the left. There are also bins for recycling outside.brbrNoN need to strip the sheets from the beds, just make sure we can tell which ones were used. Please leave all used towels in one big pile in the laundry room. If you can start a load of wash for us, we would REALLY appreciate it --- especially if we have guests checking in the same day that you leave! Thank you!brbrWe hope you enjoy the house as much as we do when we are there. Our neighbors are quiet and respectful, and we hope to keep everyone happy about having a short-term rental in the neighborhood!brbrWe do have live TV, but not full on cable; and both of our TVs can stream HULU, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. br
