Set back on a picturesque stretch of Van Ness, 4440 Van Ness St NW is a beautifully updated center-hall Colonial offering five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and approximately 4,200 square feet of thoughtfully finished living space—a home that balances timeless architecture with modern comfort. The location is equally compelling. Just one block away is Turtle Park, beloved for its playground along with basketball, tennis, and baseball facilities. 

A welcoming foyer sets the tone, opening to a gracious formal living room on one side and an elegant formal dining room on the other—an ideal layout for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The dining room connects seamlessly to the kitchen through a butler’s pantry, creating an intuitive flow for gatherings. At the heart of the home is the renovated gourmet eat-in kitchen, designed for both beauty and function. Quartz countertops pair with an oversized center island topped in granite, offering generous prep space and casual seating. High-end stainless-steel appliances include a Wolf range with hood and double oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and Bosch dishwasher. Just beyond, the sun-drenched family room is centered around a fireplace and opens directly to the back deck, creating an inviting indoor-outdoor connection. A powder room completes the main level.

Upstairs, the home offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a serene primary suite that feels like a private retreat. The spa-like renovated bath features dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, and ample closet space including a walk-in closet. The walk-out lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a large recreation room anchored by a second fireplace and direct access to the back patio and fenced yard. This level also includes a bonus room, additional bedroom, full bath, and practical features such as mudroom built-ins, access to the single-car garage, and a separate entrance to the front driveway.

Everyday conveniences and neighborhood favorites are close at hand, including Millie’s in Spring Valley, the shops and dining of Tenleytown featuring Whole Foods Market, and the vibrant City Ridge development with Wegmans. Elegant yet livable, classic yet updated—this Van Ness Colonial offers the best of Northwest Washington living.
