Two blocks from Tenleytown-AU Metro and all the convenient restaurants and shopping along Wisconsin Avenue, this 5-bedroom, 4-bath turnkey AU Park home pairs a prime address with an upscale 2023 down-to-the-studs rebuild and expansion. A new roof, new systems, dual-zone high-efficiency HVAC and generous storage throughout mean the work is modern and complete while still feeling true to the neighborhood's classic architecture.
Stone steps flanked by a handsome retaining wall lead up to the house, where fresh boxwoods in mulched beds line the front. An enclosed front porch with heated floors offers a comfortable spot year-round and a graceful entry to the foyer and its oversized coat closet. The main level flows from a large living room to the flexible front room that flanks the gourmet kitchen. There you'll find GE Café appliances including a 6 burner gas stove, a pot filler over the range and a built-in wine fridge. Everything from weeknight dinners to a full house of guests are easily supported. The dining area looks out over the yard and opens to it via a mudroom and back door. A private office with a connected full bath adds to the versatility of the main level.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat: a walk-in closet and a bath with heated floors, double vanity, an expansive glass shower and a separate water closet. Two more bedrooms, a hall bath, a roomy landing and a laundry room ...
