Property Description

Reimagined and expanded from its original footprint in 2023, this stunning 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence in AU Park is the definition of move-in ready. Rebuilt from the studs with all-new systems, flooring, a new roof, and a high-efficiency 2-zone HVAC system, this home offers the scale and luxury of modern construction. The home welcomes you via a serene, enclosed front porch with heated floors—offering a cozy, climate-controlled retreat for a home office or a seamless transition from the outdoors. Inside, the open-concept main floor features a welcoming living room with a fireplace, a private office, and a full bathroom. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with GE Cafe appliances and a dedicated wine fridge, and it flows into a convenient mudroom—perfect for coat and shoe storage—providing direct access to the rear yard.

The upper level boasts a luxurious primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with dual sinks, a massive glass-enclosed shower, and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms, a spacious landing, and a dedicated laundry room with Whirlpool appliances and a utility sink round out this floor. The lower level is designed for maximum flexibility, offering high ceilings that easily accommodate a media area plus space for play or exercise. This level also includes two additional bedrooms (one of which doubles perfectly as a second office), a full bathroom, and independent exterior access.

The living space extends to a premium slate patio and a fully fenced, tiered yard. A beautiful retaining wall separates the lush natural grass of the upper tier from the maintenance-free artificial grass of the main yard, providing a versatile outdoor oasis for entertaining. A private 2-car parking pad is easily accessible from the rear alley. Perfectly situated, this home is moments from the Tenleytown-AU Metro, Janney Elementary, and the vibrant shopping and dining along Wisconsin and Massachusetts Avenues—including Whole Foods, Panera, Millie's, Wagshal's, and the new City Ridge development. Between this meticulously renovated home and its premier location, you will enjoy the very best of DC living.
