Set on a prominent corner lot in sought-after American University Park, this expanded and meticulously renovated Colonial offers five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, blending timeless character with refined modern living. Thoughtfully redesigned from top to bottom, the renovation preserves the home’s classic charm while introducing high-end designer finishes and hardwood floors throughout. The heart of the home is a stunning, chef-caliber kitchen anchored by a large center island, marble countertops, and a marble tile backsplash. High-end appliances include a Wolf cooktop and double ovens, a custom-paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, and an integrated beverage refrigerator. A custom built-in banquette creates an inviting eat-in space ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A gracious dining room showcases original architectural moldings complemented by designer wallpaper, blending historic character with modern elegance. The main level also features a spacious living room with a gas fireplace and a sun-filled bonus room with a wall of windows and custom built-ins, offering exceptional versatility as a playroom, home office, or additional living space. A conveniently located powder room and a functional mudroom with custom cabinetry complete the main level. Upstairs, the home offers four generously sized bedrooms and two full baths. The serene primary suite features three closets with California Closets custom built-ins and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath with custom marble tile and a large vanity. The full hall bath has been completely renovated, serving the additional bedrooms. An unfinished attic level provides excellent storage and valuable potential for future expansion. The finished lower level includes a fifth bedroom, a full bath, and a recreation room with an additional wood-burning fireplace—ideal for guests, play, or relaxation. Outside, the expansive corner lot offers two side yards, a spacious herringbone brick patio, and rare off-street parking with a private driveway accommodating multiple cars, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and everyday enjoyment. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully expanded, move-in-ready home in one of Northwest DC’s most desirable neighborhoods.
