Welcome to 6403 3rd St NW, a classic bungalow home overlooking so many Takoma amenities. Originally built circa 1921, this home has been thoughtfully updated to blend its original character with the convenience of modern living. Architectural details throughout include original wood trim, handsome refinished wood floors, five-panel wood doors, glass doorknobs, beautiful windows and period fittings. All just steps from Takoma Metro, the Takoma Aquatic Center, and the Takoma Recreation Center.
The home’s inviting front porch, with a tongue-and-groove ceiling, leads into a foyer with a coat closet. From there, the living room features a wood-burning fireplace and a ceiling fan. A casement opening connects to the dining room, which also has a ceiling fan and a large pass-through to the kitchen. Just beyond the dining room is a versatile nook—perfect for a home office or sitting room.
The expansive kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, wood cabinetry, a gas range, a gorgeous built-in hutch, excellent prep space, recessed lighting, and tile flooring. The kitchen opens directly to the backyard for easy indoor–outdoor living.
Upstairs are three sizable bedrooms with wood flooring and a ceramic tile bathroom with a pedestal sink and a tub/shower combination. The lower level includes a bonus or family room with a closet, a full bathroom, laundry, ample storage space and access to the backyard.
The exterior includes a fenced private yard, patio, and shed. This location delivers all the appeal and accessibility: directly across from the Aquatic Center and Recreation Center, just 0.6 miles to the Metro, minutes from the major redevelopment at Walter Reed, the local farmer’s market, Takoma Beverage Company and concerts in the park. Urban living in a dynamic community at its best!
