4535 Butterworth Place Nw Washington, DC 20016

Classic Washington architecture and thoughtful updates come together in this beautifully maintained 1940 brick Colonial in American University Park. Set on a landscaped corner lot, this home offers an inviting sense of place, with mature plantings, winding flagstone paths, and bright interiors designed for both everyday living and entertaining.The main level blends traditional character with modern comfort. Formal living and dining rooms feature rich hardwood floors and timeless architectural detail, while a fireplace adds warmth to the living space. An inviting sun porch is ideal as a home office, reading room, or lounge, and a separate family room with handsome built-ins provides another comfortable place to gather. The galley kitchen has been refreshed with new quartz countertops and luxury vinyl plank flooring and opens to an adjacent eat-in area. A full bath on this level adds flexibility. (Note, the family room could be used as a main level bedroom if needed or desired).Upstairs, the expansive primary suite feels like a private retreat, with vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, a separate sitting room, and an en-suite bath with jetted tub and separate stall shower. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete the second level. A third-floor bonus room offers even more versatility for a home office, studio, exercise room, playroom, or quiet getaway.The lower level extends the living space with a family room centered around a second fireplace and accented by warm wood paneling. New luxury vinyl plank flooring gives the space a fresh foundation, while a large adjoining storage and utility area includes the washer and dryer.Outdoors, the wrought-iron-fenced corner setting has a garden-like feel, with mature landscaping and meandering flagstone pathways creating inviting spaces to enjoy the outdoors. An attached garage with EV charging, plus additional driveway parking, adds rare convenience in Northwest DC.Significant 2026 improvements include a new roof (over main part of house; not the addition), furnace, main air-conditioning system, quartz kitchen countertops, LVP flooring in the kitchen and lower level, carpet stair runners, and fresh interior and exterior paint.The setting is equally compelling.
