With a storybook facade, this Tudor home located in welcoming and desirable AU Park has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated. Set back nicely from the street with a professionally landscaped yard -- the walkway leads up to the enclosed front porch with window/screens -- a cozy spot for morning coffee or use as an entry/mudroom.

Step inside to the spacious, light-flooded main floor -- the heart of the home that boasts an ideal open-concept layout for how we live and work today. The floor plan is flexible for multiple uses and furniture layouts. The generously sized living room with gleaming hardwood floors and a fireplace with the original mantle flows into the family room adjacent to the updated white and airy kitchen with ample seating at the island, white quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and the spacious dining room with large bay windows and skylights overlooking the rear garden. A full-light door flows out to the composite deck (that never needs painting) for al fresco dining, grilling and entertaining under the stars.

The main level also boasts a nicely sized bedroom with a renovated en-suite full bathroom -- imagine the space for guests, an au pair, in-law suite or use as a home office. Head up the stairs to the large owner's suite a true primary retreat with vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet and a wonderfully designed en-suite bathroom with storage and a steam shower. Two additional light-filled bedrooms are located near the fully renovated third full bath with custom built-in shelving. The lower level provides additional living space with a large family room, just perfect for movie night! And a full bath and laundry with energy-efficient front loading machines (new in 2021).

Enjoy your private outdoor oasis -- and dine and entertain al fresco on the large deck adjoining the house, and steps down to the grassy yard and lush garden that has been professionally landscaped and hardscaped. Rounding out this lot is a rare, detached 1-car garage.

The location is supreme : equidistant (1 mile) to both Friendship Heights (which is undergoing a fabulous redevelopment ) and conveniences and shopping like Clyde's, Lia's, Whole Foods, medical offices, Metro's Red Line, The Heights Food hall, Bloomingdale's and more -- and the popular Spring Valley Shopping Center with the neighborhood deli, Wagshal's; Compass Coffee; Bluestone Lane; Millie's; Crate & Barrel; and MORE!

This turn-key tudor checks ALL the boxes.
