Welcome to this lovingly restored and well-maintained 4-bedroom, 2-full bath mid-century rambler style brick home on a large corner lot with a wood privacy fence, a lush front yard landscape featuring a sustainable butterfly garden located in Takoma Park, MD. This one-of-a-kind home blends timeless character with thoughtful upgrades, offering indoor-outdoor living in a peaceful, community-centered setting.

Both are perfect spots to relax and take in the natural beauty that defines this property.

The upstairs full bathroom has been renovated with new black and white porcelain mosaic floor tile, a new low-flow toilet, and a new ceramic pedestal sink that blends style perfectly with the new faucet, light fixture, and accessories.

Over 100 native and perennial plants have been carefully added by the current owners, creating a certified butterfly and native plant garden that supports a thriving ecosystem of butterflies, birds, and squirrels. This drought-and deer-resistant landscaping features perennial lavender and salvia, black gum and plum trees, cherry and maple trees, dogwood trees, azalea, boxwood and juniper bushes, butterfly bushes and butterfly weed, and colorful blooms through three seasons, making it the most beautiful garden in the New Hampshire Gardens neighborhood.
