2216 University Avenue NW

Some homes have presence. This one has soul. In the heart of Ridgewood, this French Colonial stands with the kind of timeless beauty that never fades. Every inch tells a story. The hardwood floors have carried generations of footsteps, the sunlight lingers through tall windows, and the craftsmanship reflects a time when homes were built to last. Over the past year, this one has quietly stepped into a new chapter. Select rooms have been freshly painted, subtle landscaping refined its exterior, and new light fixtures cast a warm glow across spaces that already felt alive. The kitchen blends old-world charm with modern comfort. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and updated cabinetry create a space that feels both classic and functional, complete with a brand new 2024 refrigerator ready for quiet mornings or late-night snacks. From the formal dining room to the spacious living area and into the sunroom, the layout flows with ease and intention. The sunroom opens to a private backyard framed by mature trees, a place that feels both secluded and welcoming, perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings under soft light. Upstairs, five bedrooms and three full baths offer space and flexibility for today’s lifestyle. Each room feels distinct yet connected by a sense of calm and quiet strength. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds living space and a private sauna, creating a retreat that is both practical and indulgent. Recent updates bring peace of mind, including a commercial grade steam boiler, water heater, and insulated windows. A two car attached and a two car detached garage add convenience and storage for everything from vehicles to hobbies. This is more than a home. It is a piece of Ridgewood history, lovingly renewed, where the past and present meet in perfect balance. All that is missing is the next chapter and the person who will write it. Step inside and feel what makes this one unforgettable.
