Mid-Century Modern Next to American University

Located on a lot next to American University, this mid-century modern home hasn't been on the market in sixty years. With the exception of a few updates for modern conveniences, the design and finishes haven't been touched - and still exude that classic feel. UrbanTurf's favorite feature of the home is the library, with floor-to-ceiling shelving, backed by wood panels. The bedrooms are all fairly spacious and the primary suite includes two closets and an en-suite bathroom with colorful tiles. Downstairs, the basement is semi-finished and also includes floor-to-ceiling wooden planking, similar to what is seen in the library. The yard includes lots of bushes and a stone path. 

• Full Listing: 4400 Springdale St NW (map)
• Price: $1,150,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Square Feet: 2,057
• Year Built: 1953
• Listing Agents: Caroline Heinen & Michael Heinen, TTR Sotheby's International Realty

A Sunny Dupont Condo

The primary suite opens with two French doors and includes a long closet along one of the long walls.
