4507 Verplanck Pl NW, Washington, DC 20016

Description

Set on an elevated, beautifully landscaped lot on a quiet street in sought-after American University Park—just one block from beloved Turtle Park—this exceptional five-bedroom residence offers nearly 4,000 square feet across four thoughtfully designed levels. 4507 Verplanck Place NW is a turnkey home that strikes a rare balance between timeless architectural detail and meaningful modern updates, all within a highly functional and flexible floor plan.

The main level is anchored by a grand living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace and an elegant south-facing bow window that fills the space with natural light. A family room addition with multiple exposures provides a wonderful secondary living space and connects seamlessly to a butler’s pantry and an expansive formal dining room with a wall of built-ins. The flow is equally suited to large-scale entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The eat-in kitchen is beautifully updated with a brand-new KitchenAid stainless steel appliance suite, Calacatta Alina quartz counters and backsplash, a coffee bar, and ample modern cabinetry. A cleverly designed mudroom and pantry—complete with a second refrigerator—offers excellent storage and convenient access to off-street parking. The fully fenced rear garden, accessible from both the kitchen and butler’s pantry, features a brick paver patio and a flat yard framed by mature plantings.

Upstairs, the first upper level includes four generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, highlighted by an expansive, light-filled primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a wall of custom closets, and built-in cabinetry. The primary bath features a dual vanity with Taj Mahal quartzite top, a large frameless glass shower, and a separate soaking tub. A charming home office with wraparound casement windows completes the level.

The top floor offers approximately 400 square feet of finished space with hardwood floors, its own mini-split system, and a wall of closets—ideal as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, or flex space.

The lower level includes a recreation room with a second wood-burning fireplace and new carpet, a full bath, laundry, wine refrigeration, and ample storage, along with walk-up access to the backyard.

Recent upgrades include HVAC (2019), hot water heater (2021), mini-split system (2024), solar panels (2025), and all new kitchen appliances (2026), offering true move-in-ready convenience.

The location is exceptional—steps to Turtle Park and Friendship Recreation Center, and moments to Spring Valley Shopping Center and Spring Valley Village favorites like Millie’s, Bluestone Lane, Pizza Paradiso, Compass Coffee, Wagshal’s Market, and Starbucks. Additional amenities are just under a mile away in Tenleytown (Metro, Whole Foods, Target, Wilson Aquatic Center) and City Ridge (Wegmans, Equinox, Tatte, The Ridge Club). With close proximity to some of the District’s most sought-after educational institutions, including Janney Elementary, Georgetown Day School, Sidwell Friends School, and American University, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of AU Park living.
