Situated around the corner from the City Town Hall, Library, Police Station and a short stroll to the elementary and middle schools and Sligo Creek Park w/miles of hike/bike trails, this 984 square foot condominium is in a super convenient location that is ideal for walking to places you want to be! At just 0.8 of a mile from Metro, walking there is very feasible, and can we say healthy! Up the hill around the corner is the Takoma Food Coop (with great organic choices), and many restaurants in the Historic District are a short distance away. Pretty oak hardwood floors greet you in the well-sized West facing living/dining room that is an excellent viewing platform to view the July 4th City Firework display when operations are normal. The granite countertop kitchen features stainless appliances and maple cabinets. The stainless gas stove is the preference of most who like to cook. A dishwasher, built-in microwave, disposal, and refrigerator are also an added bonus. The large double-pane windows bring great light, and especially on the short winter afternoons. The dining "L" is an ample size - plenty of room for a full-sized table! The updated bathroom with a reglazed tub greets you in the hallway with custom tile. The roomy bedrooms and hallway have custom mirrored closets with lights in them. You can fit a king-size bed in the larger bedroom with ease and it has windows on two sides.
