Description

A warm, book-filled 1937 brick colonial on a quiet, tree-lined street in American University Park. The owner, a university professor who grew up in the neighborhood, is offering the house fully furnished while on leave abroad. The Tenleytown-AU Metro stop is a short walk away, with direct Red Line service taking you to Dupont Circle, Farragut North, and Union Station. The house is half a mile from American University, a fifteen-minute drive from Georgetown University, and three short blocks from the Turtle Park/Friendship Recreation Center with ball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts and a splash park. Wagshal’s deli, Compass Coffee, Millie’s and CVS are less than half-a-mile away. Whole Foods Market, Bandit Taco, Pete's Apizza, and Wisconsin Avenue shops are all walking distance, less than a mile away. Battery Kemble Park and Rock Creek Park are nearby. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, opening to a formal dining room and a light-filled sunroom with French doors to the garden. Upstairs are three sunny bedrooms: two with king beds and one with a twin bed. The upstairs full bathroom is renovated with marble hex-tile flooring, subway tile, a granite vanity, and Grohe fixtures. Hardwood floors run throughout. The finished lower level adds a second renovated full bathroom with marble flooring, a laundry area. Outside, the private fenced garden has a rear deck for outdoor dining. The front porch is covered. Verizon Fios gigabit internet is included with utilities. Unassigned residential street parking is readily available. The property is in-boundary for Janney Elementary School, Deal Middle School, and Jackson-Reed High School. The owner is seeking a responsible tenant who will appreciate the home as a comfortable base for a semester or academic year and care for it accordingly.
