This home is a showstopper. With 11-foot ceilings, walls of glass, and unobstructed views of Sligo Creek from nearly every room, this Colonial Modern feels more like a private retreat than a typical Takoma Park home. Perched on over half an acre above the creek, it offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and modern design. The main level is built for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a chef’s kitchen with a waterfall island, walk-in pantry, beverage bar, two bedrooms, and two full baths. Upstairs, the primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a spacious dressing room (or sixth bedroom), and a spa-inspired bath, while two additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for family or guests. Multiple decks and porches take full advantage of the setting, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. A two-car garage with EV charger, expansive driveway, and spacious lower level add convenience and flexibility. Just steps from the trails of Sligo Creek Park and minutes from Takoma Park favorites like Cielo Rojo and the Takoma Park Farmers Market, this is a truly special home in one of the area's most beloved neighborhoods.
