4224 RIVER ROAD NWWASHINGTON, DC 20016




Beautifully reimagined for modern living, this sun-filled American University Park row home in the heart of Tenleytown offers nearly 2,900 SF across three thoughtfully designed levels. Originally two separate units, it underwent a major 2017–2018 renovation to create a single, cohesive residence with extensive updates throughout. The main level offers an open floor plan ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A chef’s kitchen, anchored by a 12-ft island and featuring JennAir stainless appliances (including an induction range), seamlessly flows to the dining and living rooms. The first of two wood-burning fireplaces adds charm to the living room that leads to a private outdoor patio. Upstairs, the second floor offers a flexible layout with a large and sunny bedroom (currently used as a family room) with its own wood-burning fireplace and rebuilt deck (2021), an additional bedroom, a spacious hall bath with dual sinks, a laundry area, and a convenient powder room. The third floor boasts a bright and generously sized primary suite with western views, three closets, and a modern ensuite bath. A fourth bedroom, an office/den, and another full bath complete this level. Notable upgrades and amenities include incredible storage and generous room sizes throughout, a TPO roof replaced in 2018, all windows replaced in 2022, two-zone HVAC systems replaced in 2021, a tankless water heater replaced in 2025, and sliding glass doors on both the main and second floors replaced in 2018. Two rear parking spaces—complete with an electric car charger—sit just beyond the private patio for added convenience. Perfectly situated just two blocks from Tenleytown Metro (Red Line), Whole Foods, Target, and neighborhood favorites (Guapo’s, Petes), with Janney ES, Deal MS, and Jackson-Reed HS all within easy walking distance. This turnkey gem combines space, style, and an unbeatable location—truly the best of city living!
