What our beloved house lacks in lavishness, it makes up in location, character, comfort and coziness. Enjoy city life with a suburban feel. In the nation’s capital, only minutes to the Metro’s red line that can take you anywhere in the city, and also a short walking distance to the picturesque, quirky downtown Takoma Park, Maryland.
