Property Description
The main level blends traditional character with modern comfort. Formal living and dining rooms feature rich hardwood floors and timeless architectural detail, while a fireplace adds warmth to the living space. An inviting sun porch is ideal as a home office, reading room, or lounge, and a separate family room with handsome built-ins provides another comfortable place to gather. The galley kitchen has been refreshed with new quartz countertops and luxury vinyl plank flooring and opens to an adjacent eat-in area. A full bath on this level adds flexibility. (Note, the family room could be used as a main level bedroom if needed or desired).
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite feels like a private retreat, with vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, a separate sitting room, and an en-suite bath with jetted tub and separate stall shower. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete the second level. A third-floor bonus room offers even more versatility for a home office, studio, exercise room, playroom, or quiet getaway.
The lower level extends the living space with a family room centered around a second fireplace and accented by warm wood paneling. New luxury vinyl plank flooring gives the space a fresh foundation, while a large adjoining storage and utility area includes the washer and dryer.
Outdoors, the wrought-iron-fenced corner setting has a garden-like feel, with mature landscaping and meandering flagstone pathways creating inviting spaces to enjoy the outdoors. An attached garage with EV charging, plus additional driveway parking, adds rare convenience in Northwest DC.
Significant 2026 improvements include a new roof (over main part of house; not the addition), furnace, main air-conditioning system, quartz kitchen countertops, LVP flooring in the kitchen and lower level, carpet stair runners, and fresh interior and exterior paint.
The setting is equally compelling. American University Park—better known as AU Park—is prized for its tree-lined streets, classic homes, green spaces, and convenient access to Tenleytown, Friendship Heights, Spring Valley, and City Ridge. Nearby amenities include Friendship Park, known locally as Turtle Park, the Tenley-Friendship Neighborhood Library, American University's Katzen Arts Center and AU Museum, Wegmans at City Ridge, neighborhood dining and shopping, and the Tenleytown-AU and Friendship Heights Red Line Metro stations.
With its classic Colonial character, flexible interior spaces, landscaped corner setting, garage and driveway parking, and substantial recent updates, this home offers a distinctive opportunity to enjoy one of Northwest Washington's most desirable residential neighborhoods. [In response to numerous inquiries, Seller has set an offer deadline of Tuesday and will review on Wednesday, Sept. Seller reserves the right, however, to accept an offer in advance of the deadline at their discretion.]
