600 Cedar Street NWWashington, DC 20012

A celebrated piece of Takoma history, passed down through five generations from its original craftsmen, offered for the first time in more than a century.

Built in 1905 by G.W. Stone and E.T. Morris, 600 Cedar Street NW is one of the earlier residences in the Takoma Park Historic District. Blending elements of the Shingle and Queen Anne styles, the home stands as an enduring expression of the neighborhood’s origins as a leafy Washington suburb, distinguished by substantial residences, spacious grounds, and an enduring connection to the natural landscape.

Prominently positioned on an exceptionally large corner lot, the home encompasses nearly 4,000 square feet across four levels. Its cross-gabled roofline, shingled exterior, and magnificent full-width front porch give the residence an unmistakable architectural presence. The expansive yard provides an equally rare sense of openness, with ample room for gardening, recreation, and outdoor entertaining.

Inside, oversized rooms and gleaming hardwood floors preserve the gracious scale of a bygone era. The formal living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace, while the adjoining dining room features built-in shelving and period glass-front doors. A spacious kitchen and main-level powder room complete the principal floor.

Four generously proportioned bedrooms occupy the second level. The primary bedroom opens directly to a delightful upper porch—a distinctive architectural feature and a private vantage point overlooking the property. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath crown the top floor, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, work, play, or creative pursuits.

The basement provides additional storage, workroom space, and a canvas for more finished space. The property also includes convenient off-street surface parking, with a detached garage.

The setting is as compelling as the home itself. Takoma Metro, the Takoma Community Center and indoor aquatic facility, neighborhood restaurants and shops, Whole Foods Market, and the evolving Parks at Walter Reed are all close at hand, with Rock Creek Park offering miles of natural beauty nearby.

Recognized in the DC historic district’s own illustrated materials, 600 Cedar Street NW is not simply located within Takoma’s history��it is part of it. With extraordinary scale, irreplaceable character, and more than a century of stories held within its walls, this landmark residence awaits its next steward.
