Welcome 517 Van Buren Street NW. This is a rare opportunity to own a wonderful home in sought after Takoma DC. Situated on an oversized fully fenced lot - the largest on the block - this brick bungalow offers three levels of living. The raised front porch is a wonderful?place to sit and wave?to passing neighbors. As you enter the foyer and?step into the bright living room imagine the memories to be made in front of the wood burning fireplace. The open floor plan allows for easy flow from the living room to the kitchen and formal dining room. The more than ample kitchen has loads of counter?space. There is a sunroom just off the kitchen that overlooks the fully fenced back yard where a large shed offers great storage. Off street parking with an electric gate makes parking securely a breeze. There are two large bedrooms and a full bath on the main level allowing for one level living! Upstairs is a very large bedroom/office or play room with a full bath. The lower level includes a large family room, laundry room, full bath and the 4th bedroom.?The home?s desirable location is just a stroll away from sporting, dining, and shopping establishments including the Takoma Recreation Center, Safeway, CVS, Takoma Public Library, schools, Republic restaurant, 3 Star Brewery, Donut Run, Lost Sock Coffee shop, Roscoe's Pizza and the year-round Takoma Farmers Market. The community features two splash parks and playgrounds and a dog park within a short walk. The Takoma Metro Station on the Red Line and several bus lines can take you downtown or up to Silver Spring in minutes.?The Parks at Walter Reed, which includes the highly anticipated brand new Whole Foods, is also walkable.
