Welcome to a rare find in Highly Desirable AU Park! Lovingly cared for since the year it was built in 1936, the original owners bought the adjacent lot to insure privacy and a larger yard for generations to come. The lot totals .32 of an acre which includes garden spaces that have drawn attention from gardeners and publications of all types. This DOUBLE lot provides a palate for any city gardener plus off street parking for 4 vehicles and a two car garage (6 spaces total)…. again a rarity in AU Park! The original interior offers 4 spacious levels with a cozy feeling, hardwood floors, separate dining room, sun porch off of the living room (another space to enjoy the lower rear garden). There are a total of 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths and a sleeping porch in the original home leaving the buyer with many options and configurations. Over the two car garage there is a large room with built in wood paneling, a fire place, bathroom and cedar closest(master?). To the right at the top of the stairs are two more bathrooms and three more bedrooms (one is the original master w/ the sleeping porch). A separate staircase leads to the upper floor expansive bedroom or bonus room with two large closets. Under the main level stair case is access to the lower level and two car garage. The lower level has the 6th bedroom and a 4th full bath with access to the rear yard. Off the kitchen on the main level is a very large addition bringing the outside in with its wall of French doors opening up to a large deck overlooking the yard and garden. Perfect for entertaining! This addition includes a main level 7th bedroom, fireplace, second laundry room, two walk in closets and two full baths.Walk to metro, Tenley Town, American University, shops along Wisconsin Ave. Parks are everywhere.!
