 Outside, the generously sized, fully-fenced corner lot is a gardener’s paradise, featuring fruit-bearing trees – whose bounty of peaches, figs, pomegranates, persimmons, and sour cherries can be shared with neighbors — along with pear, plum, paw paw and jujube trees that have yet to produce fruit. Six majestic redwoods and a vibrant array of plantings enhance the lush landscape. A large deck, a stone patio, and convenient driveway complete this enchanting and special property. Located in the heart of eclectic and lively Takoma Park, this home sits just steps to Spring Park’s playgrounds and sports courts.
