4519 Yuma Street NW

A Classic AUPark Home, Ready for Its Next Chapter Held by the same family for decades, this handsome brick Colonial offers the character, comfortable proportions and wonderful yard that make American University Park such an enduring place to call home. The main level offers an easy, comfortable flow, beginning with a welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace and bay window. The separate dining room, also brightened by a bay window, connects naturally to the kitchen and family room addition. Together, the living room, dining room, kitchen and family room create a well-connected layout that works beautifully for both everyday living and entertaining. The family room, with windows overlooking the backyard, provides relaxed everyday living space and includes a full bath, adding flexibility to the main floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two updated full baths, including a primary suite with its own bath. From the third bedroom, stairs lead to a walk-up attic, offering valuable bonus space, possible storage and potential for future expansion. The lower level is divided by the center staircase, with a finished recreation room on one side featuring carpeting and direct access to exterior stairs leading to the backyard. The other side provides laundry, utilities and storage, along with a capped former toilet connection that may offer possibilities for future improvement. Outside, the approximately 4,200-square-foot lot is a standout. The level rear yard offers plenty of room to create a garden, play area, patio or outdoor entertaining space, or simply enjoy the open green space as it is. A detached garage completes the property. Set on the 4500 block of Yuma Street, the home enjoys a central AU Park location with neighborhood amenities including schools, parks and playgrounds nearby, along with easy access to Tenleytown, Friendship Heights, Metro, shops, restaurants and everyday conveniences. A well-loved home with classic character, a great yard and room to make it your own, ready for its next owner and its next chapter.
