History In the Making....



Bingley and his "Sister" Lucy and I take a nice walk in the wooded trails of Little Falls-- just a few minutes from AU Park, Spring Valley and Bethesda


OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, January 18th, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Address: 4600 Asbury Place, NW

Bing and I know this American University Park neighborhood very well, as he has a fellow Airedale, Lucy on Asbury Place too! This house is featured in the book, BUNGALOW NATION.This is a lovely tree lined two-block street between 48th and 49th, close to parks (woof), two subway stations(Tenleytown/AU and Friendship Heights on the Red Line) and major bus lines on nearby Massachusetts Avenue. Not to mention how close it is to downtown DC, Spring Valley and Bethesda!

This Classic 1939 Bungalow has it all-- four bedrooms and three full baths on a beautiful elevated corner lot that has been thoughtfully renovated and the large yard has been landscaped masterfully with azaleas and select trees. Your are first welcomed by the grand front porch complete with a copper roof. The living room boasts original hardwood floors and a working fireplace and a soaring atrium with cathedral ceilings and skylights that make this an especially bright and airy space. The gourmet kitchen is complete with beautiful hardwood cabinets, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. This is truly a classic home with original craftsman style details and a contemporary twist.


The two bedrooms on the main floor can aslo be used as lounging or dining areas. The wrap-a-round rear deck is easily accessed for meals or grand entertaining with serene tree tops views. The garage is just steps away from the back door of the home.

The bright upper level boasts a handsome Master Suite, complete with ample storage closets and a full bath. The skylights and large dormer windows on the front and side of the house maximizes the warm light from the South and East.

The lower level was totally dug out by the previous owners and the current owners took it up another notch with hardwood floors and tasteful updates. There is a large bedroom, full bath, a library (could be easily updated with kitchenette) and another ample room that could be used as a den/office.
