A...Timeless elegance meets modern comfort in sought-after American University Park, where 4228 40th St NW blends classic 1939 character with thoughtful, high-quality upgrades throughout. Every improvement has been completed with exceptional care and craftsmanship, creating a home that feels refined, warm, and effortlessly livable. At the center of the home, a stunning kitchen renovation transforms the original layout into a bright and open space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A custom quartz island anchors the room, complemented by premium GE appliances and solid oak flooring carefully matched to the home’s original hardwoods. Throughout, restored 1939 oak floors and the original staircase add timeless charm, while fresh interior paint and updated lighting create a cohesive and polished feel. The upper level features a spacious primary ensuite bedroom with a full bath, along with two additional bedrooms and a hall bath enhanced by a skylight that fills the space with natural light. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with an additional bedroom, new flooring, and a high-end Samsung washer and dryer, along with direct access to the rear yard, making it ideal for guests, a private office, or extended living space. Outdoor living is a true standout feature of this home. The private backyard has been thoughtfully designed to create a peaceful and inviting retreat that feels both secluded and functional. A newly added privacy partition enhances the sense of tranquility, while mature landscaping and year-round greenery provide a lush, natural setting with minimal upkeep. This space is perfectly suited for al fresco dining, entertaining, weekend gatherings, or simply unwinding in your own outdoor sanctuary. The seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living makes this home especially appealing for those who value both comfort and lifestyle. Off-street parking further adds to the ease and convenience of everyday living. Major system improvements provide lasting confidence, including a full roof replacement in 2021, complete electrical modernization in 2024, and custom energy-efficient windows installed in 2024 with wood blinds. Enhanced HVAC and ventilation improvements further support year-round comfort. Ideally located just moments from Tenleytown and the Tenleytown-AU Metro, the home offers convenient access to shops, dining, and everyday essentials. The neighborhood is also served by highly regarded schools including Janney Elementary School, Deal Middle School, and Jackson-Reed High School, further enhancing its long-term appeal. Tree-lined streets, nearby parks, and a strong sense of community complete the lifestyle this location offers. Blending historic character, meaningful upgrades, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living, this home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy classic DC living in a truly special setting.
