About this home
Welcome to 4518 Western Avenue, a charming historic Colonial that has been lovingly maintained and cared for by its current owners for nearly three decades. Boasting an impeccable location within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in Spring Valley, Westbard Square, and Friendship Heights, while providing a tranquil setting - with a spacious and lush grassy backyard - for easy living and entertaining. Featuring six bedrooms, including a basement in-law suite, three-and-one half bathrooms, and classic details, such as original hardwood floors and a handsome wood-burning fireplace.
With several distinct gathering spaces, the first floor shines with a marble entryway with two coat closets; a gracious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace; a sun-filled formal dining room that flows seamlessly into the cheerful galley kitchen, which offers two ovens, a pantry, and a mudroom with outdoor access. Drenched in natural light with skylights, vaulted ceilings, and glass doors to the back patio and gardens, the family room provides such terrific flow for entertaining both inside and out. A cozy home office / library and a lovely powder room complete the main level.
The second floor is highlighted by the primary bedroom with an ensuite full bathroom enjoying dual sinks and a sizable shower. There are also two more delightful bedrooms and a full hall bathroom with a tub shower. The fourth and fifth bedrooms can be found on the attic / third floor and feature closets and storage. Additionally, there is a whole-house attic fan.

Laundry and storage with built-in shelving are also enjoyed on the basement level. Additional offerings include an attached driveway, a private carport, and a storage shed.
Rich in history, this quintessential home has historical significance, as it was frequented by Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, who were friends with the first owners.
