216 Domer Ave Takoma Park, MD 20912

Listing details for 216 Domer Ave, Takoma Park, MD 20912 : A Rare Double-Lot Retreat with ADU, in the Heart of Takoma Park! Built in 1923 and nestled between Flower Avenue and Sligo Creek Parkway, this distinctive Takoma Park home sits on a rare double lot and offers a striking blend of original character, thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, and a surprisingly private setting—including a separate ADU with its own full bath. Surrounded by lush, mature trees and filled with large windows, the home is loaded with natural light and charm, with an almost treehouse-like feel. Set atop an unusually generous shared driveway, which will be paved before settlement, the property also features a Level 1 EV charger. It feels tucked away while keeping everyday conveniences remarkably close. A modest vestibule opens to a spacious foyer and a parlor with soaring ceilings, immediately showcasing the home’s architectural personality. Large windows frame the surrounding greenery and fill the living spaces with natural light. An adjacent main-level bedroom and full bath provide wonderful flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. The galley-style kitchen features high-end appliances, including an induction cooktop, farmhouse sink, and furniture-style cabinetry, and connects naturally to the dining room and a light-filled great room. The great room opens to a fenced, multilevel backyard and expansive open green space, creating a setting that feels remarkably private and removed from the activity beyond it. The rare double lot provides room to spread out, garden, play, entertain, or simply enjoy having a generous stretch of green space in the heart of Takoma Park. A privacy fence surrounds the rear, while full alley access adds an unusual level of convenience and versatility. The upper outdoor level creates an easy extension of the indoor living space, while the lower lawn opens up even more possibilities for outdoor living. Mature plantings include fruit-producing peach and fig trees, and a 10’ x 14’ shed adds practical space for gardening and outdoor equipment. The separate ADU with a full bath adds yet another dimension, offering possibilities for an office, studio, creative space, private retreat, or other permitted use. Upstairs, the treehouse feeling really comes to life, with the bedrooms nestled among the mature canopy outside. Three additional bedrooms include the primary suite, with volume ceilings, skylights, a walk-in closet, and a separate dressing room. The bath offers a BainUltra air-jetted tub, while a generously sized laundry room just outside the primary suite provides shelving, storage, and a laundry tub. And beyond the property itself, Takoma Park is part of what makes this home so special. Mature trees, historic architecture, parks and trails, locally owned businesses and restaurants, and a strong sense of community come together with exceptional access to Washington, D.C. Spend weekends along Sligo Creek, explore neighborhood dining and shops, enjoy community festivals, farmers' markets and parks, or take advantage of convenient transit connections throughout the region. With groceries and restaurants within walking distance, nearby Ride On service to two Metro stations, and the future Purple Line Long Branch station just 3/10 of a mile away, 216 Domer offers something increasingly difficult to find: a light-filled home loaded with character and charm, surrounded by trees, with the space and privacy of a double lot, full rear alley access, expansive green space, the flexibility of a separate ADU, and the distinctive lifestyle that makes Takoma Park such a special place to call home. Come experience a home that feels like a retreat, lives like a treehouse, and puts the best of Takoma Park right outside your door. Showings to begin 9/20, not before.
