Situated on a serene and tree-lined street in the heart of coveted American University Park, this classic 1925 bungalow was completely renovated and expanded in 2010. While maintaining the home's historic charm-- including a front porch with swing, hardwood floors, classic wood doors with antique bronze hardware--the footprint was generously expanded to create a gracious and spacious 5BR/4.5BA home that's perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining. The main level features an open floor plan with a double living room, separate dining room, a true cook's granite/stainless kitchen with two ovens, a powder room, mud room, plus a large family room with a stone fireplace, connected via glass French doors to an expansive deck. Upstairs are four light-filled bedrooms, two with en suite baths, a separate third hall bath and laundry closet. The lower level features a large recreation room, separate laundry/utility/work room, a fifth bedroom and an additional full bath. The lower level to a vast flagstone patio that's partially covered by the deck above but extends to create a two-level outdoor entertainer's paradise. The fully-fenced backyard goes on forever and at the end of the deep and beautifully landscaped yard is a studio/guest house. Formerly a two-car garage, this space has been converted into temperature controlled bonus living/working space with a multitude of possibilities! Welcome home!
