Description
Seller to review any offers on Tuesday afternoon (9/29). A classic Washington residence with gracious proportions, architectural character and remarkable potential in AU Park, offered for the first time in nearly 50 years. This handsome brick home on Massachusetts Avenue has a distinctive stone-arched entrance and welcoming covered front porch and is a surprisingly spacious home with approximately 3,200 square feet, including approximately 2,450 square feet above grade, with four bedrooms, three full baths, a two-car garage and a deep 6,000-square-foot lot. The wide entry foyer introduces the home's wonderful scale and original character. Arched openings lead to generously proportioned living and dining rooms with hardwood floors, abundant natural light and a fireplace in the living room. The large dining room opens through a glass-paned door with sidelights and transom to the deep rear yard. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. A proper staircase from the second-floor hall continues to the finished attic level, creating a fourth bedroom and offering intriguing possibilities for a home office, studio or additional bedroom. The expansive lower level, with a full bath, side entrance and walk-out access, is currently unfinished and provides substantial additional space for a future owner to reimagine. A two-car garage, a prized feature in this part of Northwest Washington, completes the property. The house presents a wonderful opportunity to update a substantial, character-filled home while preserving the architectural details that make it special. And then there is the location. Set along one of Washington's best-known residential avenues, the home enjoys convenient access to Spring Valley's neighborhood shops, restaurants and cafés, American University and the amenities of AU Park. Massachusetts Avenue's connection to Washington's diplomatic and international community gives this address a distinctly Washington character, while the home's deep lot creates a welcome sense of space. A gracious house, a substantial piece of property and an opportunity to make this home your own.
