Rare opportunity in sought-after American University Park for buyers with vision. Offered strictly AS IS, including all remaining debris, this spacious three-level home presents a strong opportunity for renovation, restoration, or reimagining. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, the home includes four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a flexible floor plan with generous indoor and outdoor space. For investors, builders, or homeowners ready to take on a project, this property offers the chance to create something special in one of Northwest Washington’s most desirable neighborhoods. The main level features an inviting foyer, a living room with built-ins and fireplace, a separate dining room, and a family room that opens to the kitchen. There is also a main-level bedroom or office, a powder room, and access to the rear deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths, including a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and private bath. The lower level offers a large finished recreation room, a full bath, and laundry area. Outside, the property includes a deck overlooking an in-ground pool, along with a flagstone terrace and covered rear porch. The outdoor space offers excellent potential for future entertaining or landscape redesign. Located within the Janney, Deal, and Jackson-Reed school cluster, the home is also close to American University, Spring Valley, Massachusetts Avenue shops and dining, and nearby parks including Fort Reno. This is a property for someone prepared to do significant work, but for the right buyer, the upside is clear: a chance to transform a substantial home in a highly desirable location.
