    What's special

    Nestled on a prime corner lot in sought-after American University Park, this stately 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom classic center-hall colonial offers approx. 3,750 sq. ft. of beautifully finished living space over four levels. Featuring generous room sizes, gleaming hardwood floors throughout, and abundant natural light , 4701 Alton Place seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern updates. The main level welcomes you with a gracious living room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and picturesque views of the private rear yard. A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for gatherings and celebrations. The kitchen, featuring newer stainless-steel appliances, opens to a charming breakfast nook with built-in storage bench seating. The true highlight of this level is the sun-drenched family/sunroom, where soaring cathedral ceilings, striking custom built-ins, and expansive windows create an inviting retreat. French doors lead to a spacious flagstone patio—ideal for entertaining or cozy nights by the firepit. The second floor boasts a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and a beautifully renovated ensuite bath. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms share a newly updated hall bath. The third floor impresses with terrific ceiling height, offering two generous bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, and another renovated full bath. The walk-out lower level features a spacious recreation room with a 2nd wood-burning fireplace, a full bath, a laundry room, and a large utility/storage room, providing exceptional flexibility and functionality. Outside, the fully fenced rear yard is a private oasis, complete with two flagstone patios and a new raised stone garden bed. The driveway off of 47th Street leads to a single-car garage, recently wired for electricity and outfitted with a newer garage door. Perfectly located less than a mile from the Tenleytown Metro and just steps from Millie’s, Wagshal’s, Compass Coffee, and more, this home offers the ultimate blend of space, character, and convenience. In-bounds for Janney, Deal, and Jackson-Reed, this is an exceptional opportunity you won’t want to miss!
