Description
Additional photos and floor plans to be uploaded soon! Featured in This Old House Magazine, this exceptional 1925 Craftsman in the heart of AU Park is a rare example of a home that honors its past while living beautifully in the present. Thoughtfully renovated with a designer's eye, it showcases original chestnut millwork, classic Craftsman detailing, and preserved period character--seamlessly paired with modern updates that enhance light, flow, and everyday livability.
Spanning four levels, the home offers both elegance and flexibility. The main level features a gracious living room anchored by a fireplace, a formal dining room, an expanded eat-in kitchen with a bright breakfast nook, and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, the second level includes a well-appointed primary suite with walk-in closet and en-suite bath with heated floors, an additional bedroom and hall bath, and a den or home office, along with a full-size washer/dryer. The top floor offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath--ideal for family or guests seeking privacy.
The fully finished lower level provides exceptional versatility, complete with a private entrance, kitchenette, full bath, heated floors throughout, and its own washer/dryer--perfect as an in-law suite, au pair quarters, or potential income-producing space. A spacious recreation room adds even more flexibility.
Natural light fills the rear of the home, where a sunroom--converted from a screened porch and thoughtfully cantilevered--opens to a private patio. Throughout, smart architectural changes--from the relocated front door to widened openings with French doors--enhance both flow and functionality. Ample storage can be found on every level.
Ideally located in AU Park, the home offers easy access to the Red Line, Rock Creek Park, and the shops and dining along Wisconsin and Connecticut Avenues, all within a charming, tree-lined neighborhood. The beloved Millie's is just a 5-minute walk away.
A home with this level of character, craftsmanship, and thoughtful updating is truly rare.
