We’re crossing state lines with this adorable bungalow, since it got a good number of comments on the original GDoN post.
For those unfamiliar with Takoma Park, it is in Maryland across the north border from the NW DC neighborhood of Brightwood and the NE DC neighborhood of Riggs Park. It’s cute, has a little downtown commercial area with a food co-op and several locally owned restaurants and shops, and there’s a Red line Metro station.
As one commenter noted, real estate taxes are pricier in Montgomery County than in DC, and specifically in Takoma Park. (more…)

“To preserve the property’s grandeur on the corner of 4th and Butternut Streets, NW, the Takoma marquee sign will be restored and the exterior masonry will be repointed.”

The tap list will be released in the next couple weeks, but you know it will be super sick and laced with DIPAs, sours, stouts and some yet to be revealed awesomeness.
