Overview

Step into the timeless charm of 4236 River Road, a beautifully restored 1918 Arts & Crafts bungalow nestled just two blocks from the Tenleytown-AU METRO station. This captivating home in the sought-after American University Park neighborhood offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying easy access to local shops, restaurants, and parks.

Updated walkways lead through the temporally blooming front garden to a welcoming covered entry portico. Inside, discover a seamless blend of original character and thoughtful modern updates. The living room offers a warm and inviting ambiance perfect for both relaxed evenings and lively gatherings with friends. Gleaming original hardwood floors flow into a sun-drenched sunroom boasting a vaulted bead board ceiling. Conveniently located on the main level is an updated full bathroom and a charming first-floor bedroom.

The timeless kitchen features classic Shaker-style cabinets, elegant dark synthetic stone countertops, subway-tiled backsplash, and bright white appliances, while the cork flooring adds a touch of comfort. The dining room provides access to a stunning screened-in porch, perfect for enjoying morning coffee, an intimate dinner, or simply observing the local birdlife.

The serene primary bedroom suite is located on the second floor. Exquisite woodwork, built-in bookcases, skylight, and thoughtfully integrated dormer windows create a tranquil retreat. The cheerfully renovated second-level bathroom features a spa shower with a custom-made glass enclosure and a luxurious heated towel rack.

Granite steps, repurposed from the U.S. Capitol, add a touch of history to the kitchen-side entrance. Unique wrought iron handrails by Richmond metal artist Andrew White guide the transition, a bespoke artistic feature. Outside, the established garden, designed by DCA Landscape Architects, offers a lovely outdoor escape.
This exceptional property also boasts a detached 1-car garage with a 240-volt outlet for EV charging. Fencing encloses the property, which also includes an additional off-street parking space accessible from the alley.

Enjoy a true sense of community in this highly sought-after neighborhood, with all the perks of city living at your fingertips. This house is one of a kind.
