4512 Windom Place Northwest

A warm, book-filled 1937 brick colonial on a quiet, tree-lined street in American University Park. Offered fully furnished with utilities included, the house provides the character, privacy, and outdoor space of a detached AU Park home without the need to furnish a property, arrange internet service, or commit to a conventional 12-month lease.

Hardwood floors run throughout. The living room features a decorative fireplace framed by built-in bookshelves and opens to a formal dining room. Beyond it, a light-filled sunroom with French doors opens to the garden. Verizon Fios gigabit internet is included.

Upstairs are three bedrooms: two furnished with king beds and a third with a twin bed. The renovated full bathroom has a marble hex-tile floor, subway tile, and granite vanity. A finished lower level provides additional living space, a second renovated full bathroom, an in-unit washer and dryer, and a Wi-Fi-connected TV.

Outside, the private fenced garden has mature plantings, hydrangeas, and a rear deck for dining or relaxing.A covered porch faces the street, and free residential street parking is readily available.

The Tenleytown-AU Metro station is a short walk away, with direct Red Line service to Dupont Circle, Farragut North, downtown Washington, and Union Station. American University is nearby, while Georgetown, George Washington University, SAIS, downtown research institutions, federal offices, and several major hospitals are within a straightforward commute.

Whole Foods, Politics & Prose, cafés, pharmacies, restaurants, and the shops along Wisconsin Avenue are close at hand. Spring Valley, just across Massachusetts Avenue, offers Wagshal's, Pizzeria Paradiso, Millie's, Compass Coffee, and other neighborhood shops and restaurants. Fort Reno, Turtle Park, and Battery Kemble Park offer nearby green space.
