7018 POPLAR AVE Takoma Park, MD 20912

A rare opportunity on one of the loveliest streets in Takoma Park. This is a Non-Contributing Resource within the Takoma Park Historic District and is either a tear-down or a rehab project. There is mold in the property. Tree removal has been completed. (The survey/topography is from 2017 and shows trees that have since been removed.) A September 2020 Montgomery County Historic Preservation Commission Staff Report acknowledged "that the Design Guidelines for the Takoma Park Historic District supported the demolition of the existing, non-contributing, building." The existing home could also be expanded and renovated. "Non-Contributing/Out-of-Period Resources should receive the most lenient level of design review. Most alterations and additions to Non-Contributing/Out-of-Period Resources should be approved as a matter of course. The only exceptions would be major additions and alterations to the scale and massing of Non Contributing/Out-of-Period Resources which affect the surrounding streetscape and/or landscape and could impair character of the district as a whole."
