Classic Charm and Exceptional Space!
Set on an elevated corner lot framed by mature landscaping, this handsome 1940 brick Colonial offers timeless curb appeal and flexible living across four levels. Estimated square footage 3200 SF. See floor plan in listing photos.
Offered for the first time in over 30 years, 4501 Western Ave NW provides a rare combination of generous indoor and outdoor space, a wide footprint, and close proximity to the neighborhood shops, parks, and transit options that make American University Park a consistently sought-after corner of Northwest DC.
Inside, you'll find four levels with a thoughtful layout and room to grow.
The home welcomes you with a gracious foyer, an elegant living room with fireplace, a sunroom bathed in natural light, a formal dining room, and a den ideal for reading or working from home.

The versatile lower level offers exceptional space including a large yet cozy recreation room with fireplace, a newly renovated full bath, and workshop. An expansive Bedroom #4 and office suite with its own entrance from the private driveway is an ideal space for your home office, studio, or private guest space. Sellers acquired a office permit for this space.
Enjoy a level rear yard, private driveway for off-street parking for 3 cars, for incredible convenience and an adorable custom shed for gardening and other recreation items.
Just blocks to the shops and restaurants along Massachusetts Avenue, including Millie’s, Wagshal’s, Starbucks, Compass Coffee, Bluestone Lane, Crate & Barrel, Pizzeria Paradiso and more.
