Description

Back on the market with a major price reduction. A 2nd floor pipe burst over this unusually cold winter which damaged portions of the house including the finished basement and parts of the first floor. Seller repaired the pipe, had the affected drywall removed to make inspections and contractor estimates simple and transparent. The listing also includes pictures from the original listing to clearly show the home’s prior condition and the areas impacted. This major price adjustment creates a rare opportunity to secure an enormous, detached home in Takoma–Riggs Park at exceptional value.

This property is especially attractive for homebuyers using a 203(k)-renovation loan who want to personalize finishes, build equity, and create a home tailored to their style without the cost of a full new?construction project. It also offers strong upside for investors seeking a flexible layout, generous square footage, and a location with consistent demand.

The home features five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, abundant natural light, hardwood floors, and a separate formal dining room with built?ins. There is a private sun terrace, and room in the lower-level for a media room, gym, offices, or an apartment?style setup.

The outdoor space is a standout: an unusually large fenced rear garden, expansive front and side yards, and a spacious deck that extends the living area outdoors. The pull-in garage can be used for parking or an auxiliary living or studio space. With thoughtful renovation, the home can exceed the size and functionality of many detached homes at neighboring Hampshires community, without HOA fees and with more parking and outdoor space.

Located minutes from Fort Totten Metro (Red, Green, Yellow lines), North Capitol Street, and major commuter routes, the home offers easy access to Downtown Silver Spring, Takoma Park, and The Parks at Walter Reed. Nearby amenities include Rock Creek Park, the Takoma Park Farmers Market, AFI Silver Theatre, The Fillmore, the Lamond?Riggs Library and Recreation Center, and the Riggs Road Playground.

A unique chance to reimagine a classic DC home, customize to your taste, and capture long?term value in a thriving neighborhood.
