Rare opportunity to build in the Takoma Park area! This approximately 0.16-acre wooded lot offers a private, natural setting while remaining conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, schools, public transportation, and Metro access. Positioned near the elbow of Olson Road and Larch Avenue, the property presents an excellent opportunity for builders, investors, or buyers looking to create a custom home in a desirable close-in location. The seller has architectural renderings and concept plans illustrating one potential home design for the property, providing a helpful starting point for envisioning what could be built. Buyers may use the concept as inspiration or bring their own plans to create a home tailored to their needs and style. Plans are provided for conceptual and illustrative purposes only and do not represent an approved or required building plan. Buyers should independently verify all building, zoning, setback, utility, septic, and permitting requirements with the appropriate authorities.
Two adjacent recorded buildable lots, 6909 and 6907 Olson Road, owned by different Sellers and both for sale, positioned at the elbow of Olson Road (which becomes Larch Avenue) ideally located near downtown Washington and two Metros, Takoma's Red Line and a soon-to-open Purple Line at University Blvd. & New Hampshire Avenue. Everything is nearby: shopping, restaurants, buses, farmers markets, schools. Both sites are nestled in woods, and tucked away for privacy, and bargain-priced for an opportunity hard to find this close in. Sewer service available; water service must be brought to each lot. See MDPG601462 for 6907 Olson. ENTER PROPERTIES AT YOUR OWN RISK. Neither Seller nor Agent make any claims or guarantees about the accuracy of the contents found in this listing, including its Disclosures section.
