A surprisingly large and impeccably appointed home awaits through the front door of this 1938 colonial in American University Park. Tastefully expanded and renovated in 2015 with dinner parties and gatherings as a focus, this property retains its historic charm while embracing a contemporary lifestyle. South-facing, formal living and dining rooms open to a bright and open-plan kitchen / breakfast / family room. The kitchen was designed by, and for, a home chef - gourmet amenities include a 48" Sub-Zero refrigerator, a six burner Wolf gas range plus Wolf induction burner, Wolf built-in under-counter microwave, U-Line beverage refrigerator and a large center island with a handy prep sink. A butler's panty provides an abundance of additional food pantry and cupboard storage. Four bedrooms on the upper level: an ensuite primary bedroom with two closets, plus three additional bedrooms sharing two additional renovated baths. The lower level adds a windowed rec room, an office nook and a large utility / craft room with a 1/4 bath and a second washer / dryer. Enjoy the gorgeous hardscaped rear terrace with mature plantings, a gas connection for a grill, plus a handy storage shed tucked to the side yard. Walk to Tenleytown metro, Whole Foods, ACE Hardware, or stroll around the corner to Crate & Barrel, Compass Coffee and popular Millie's Cafe. Don't miss the 3D Tour.
