What's around 702 Sligo Creek Parkway

About this property

PRIVATE RETREAT with water views on one of the larges lots in Takoma Park — a storied circa 1900 manor perched above Sligo Creek on over 1.21 of gorgeous mature landscaped & wooded land, and a presence that has quietly captivated the neighborhood for generations. You know the one. The storybook home tucked behind the winding driveway, framed by river-stone walls and a canopy of mature trees — the one you’ve driven past for years and wondered about. From the moment you arrive, the property feels transportive, more private estate than city residence, offering a rare blend of architectural history, natural beauty, and soulful design just moments from downtown Takoma Park and Washington, DC. Rich with craftsmanship and character, the home showcases exceptional stonework, handcrafted wood detailing, and an enduring sense of artistry throughout. Originally designed and built by renowned builder Harry Spencer, whose work helped shape early Takoma Park, the residence remained in the original family for over a century — a testament to its timeless quality and remarkable stewardship. At the heart of the home is a truly extraordinary kitchen designed by the current owner, an internationally acclaimed kitchen designer known for creating culinary spaces for some of the world’s greatest chefs. Conceived as both a professional-grade cook’s kitchen and intimate gathering space, the kitchen has hosted celebrated chefs, creatives, and Washington luminaries for decades. The main level unfolds with luminous living spaces wrapped in windows overlooking the surrounding greenery and Sligo Creek. A striking monolithic fireplace anchors the living room, while intimate dining and sitting areas flow seamlessly toward the gardens and outdoor entertaining spaces beyond. Upstairs, the primary suite feels suspended among the trees, offering tranquil creek views and a Japanese-inspired spa bath. Two additional bedrooms filled with natural light share a beautifully preserved Art Deco bath. The finished walk-up loft crowns the home with an airy, treehouse-like atmosphere ideal for a guest retreat, studio, meditation room, or additional lounge space. The lower level is a standout feature unto itself — expansive, beautifully finished, and exceptionally versatile. With its own private entrance, wraparound windows, and French doors opening directly to the grounds, the space feels remarkably bright and connected to nature. Coffered ceilings, a gas fireplace, built-in shelving, generous open living areas, and a spacious bedroom suite with spa-like en-suite bath create the feel of a fully independent residence, ideal for guest quarters, multigenerational living, a creative studio, office headquarters, or wellness retreat. Outside, the grounds unfold like a private botanical park. Multi-colored heirloom azaleas, mature trees, layered stonework, and sweeping lawns create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from city life. Unlike many homes along Sligo Creek Parkway, the property offers a rare flat, sunlit section of land adjacent to the home — ideal for a future pool, gardens, recreation, expanded entertaining spaces, or potentially a future detached ADU, subject to buyer verification and approvals. A two-tiered patio overlooking Sligo Park further enhances the home’s seamless connection to the landscape. Directly across the street, the Sligo Creek Trail winds through the forest canopy, offering immediate access to miles of trails and nature, yet the home remains just blocks to downtown Takoma Park and approximately one mile to the DC line. This is more than a home — it is a legacy property. A place of history, creativity, gathering, and retreat unlike anything else in the region. NEW ROOF & NEW tankless water heater (2026)
