Original details and modern amenities combine seamlessly in this two-bedroom, one-bathroom condo located in The Watkins, a historic six-unit building built in 1908 for William Watkins’ daughters. Designed by A.S. Baird, this three-story, red-brick Victorian is full of unique details including two octagonal five-windowed bays and a three-tiered porch made of concrete blocks. This rarely available top-floor condo is one of two units on the floor and is full of charm and designer touches. Refinished heartland pine flooring, original oak trim, sun-filled windows, and soaring ceilings create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Gather in the living room around the wood-burning fireplace surrounded by a detailed mantle. A wall of windows with treetop views fills the space with natural light. The dining room is ready for any occasion and features built-in shelving perfect for a bar area. Continue into the fully updated kitchen and prepare meals surrounded by granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and rows of wood cabinetry for easy storage. A custom tile backsplash adds the finishing touch. Step outside onto the private balcony and enjoy outdoor dining and grilling or relax with friends around the fire pit. The primary bedroom is tucked away for added privacy and offers a large closet. A pocket door leads to the second bedroom perfect for guests or a home office. The hall bathroom is spacious and features a custom tile shower and double vanity while a convenient laundry area completes this home. An assigned separately deeded outdoor parking spot conveys with the purchase. Perfect location steps to the Takoma Park Metro stop and all shopping and restaurants!
