Description

A warm, book-filled 1937 brick colonial on a quiet, tree-lined street in American University Park. Offered fully furnished while its owner, a university professor, is abroad, the house provides the character, privacy, and outdoor space of a detached AU Park home without the need to furnish a property, arrange internet service, or commit to a conventional 12-month lease. The house is comfortable and settled. Hardwood floors run throughout. The living room features a decorative fireplace framed by built-in bookshelves and opens to a formal dining room. Beyond it, a light-filled sunroom with French doors opens to the garden. Verizon Fios gigabit internet is included. Upstairs are three bedrooms: two furnished with king beds and a third with a twin bed. The renovated full bathroom has a marble hex-tile floor, subway tile, and granite vanity. A finished lower level provides additional living space, a second renovated full bathroom, an in-unit washer and dryer, and a Wi-Fi-connected TV. Outside, the private fenced garden has mature plantings, hydrangeas, and a rear deck for dining or relaxing. A deep covered porch spans the front of the house, and free residential street parking is readily available. An unusually convenient Northwest Washington location The Tenleytown–AU Metro station is a short walk away, with direct Red Line service to Dupont Circle, Farragut North, downtown Washington, and Union Station.
