Overview

Welcome to 500 Dahlia Street NW, which blends timeless charm and modern convenience in this stunning American Foursquare home with quality craftsmanship throughout. Situated on a private corner lot adorned with beautiful mature trees, this iconic gem is just two blocks from the Takoma Metro and a short walk from local coffee shops, restaurants, Whole Foods, parks, and more. Built in 1908 by early Takoma builder Frank Wickline, part of the neighborhood’s original development wave during the "streetcar era." The spacious wrap-around front porch is set amidst lush surroundings in the fenced-in front yard, creating a serene retreat. The interior features custom moldings and trim, hardwood floors, soaring high ceilings, and designer finishes throughout all four levels. A handsome and welcoming foyer leads to the formal living room and the sun-drenched dining room with an ornamental fireplace. The state-of-the-art kitchen is highlighted by a center island with a breakfast bar, a second sink, and stainless steel appliances, including a Viking range and a new refrigerator with craft ice maker. A windowed breakfast nook allows panoramic views of the back yard, which includes a tiered back deck, flowering shrubbery and plantings, and stone pathways– an oasis for outdoor entertaining and relaxation and ample space for play and exploration. A grand staircase leads to the second floor, which hosts three bedrooms plus a den/fourth bedroom with beautiful hardwood floors and sizable windows with treetop views. Other highlights include a screened-in balcony off one of the bedrooms, and a full hall bathroom with a tub/shower. Stairs lead to the third floor, which features the spacious primary suite with Palladian windows, a private sitting room, a custom walk-in closet, and a full bathroom with a luxurious clawfoot soaking tub. The recently finished basement boasts a recreation room/home theater, bedroom, full bath, laundry and storage. Other improvements include a new geothermal HVAC system allowing for maximum comfort - two units with one gas furnace backup in the lower unit, as well as solar panels, EV charger, and a heat pump water heater. Additionally, there is a charming detached garage with new wall storage, as well as off-street driveway parking. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this truly one-of-a-kind house your own!
