About This Home

Welcome to 4501 Cathedral Avenue, a charming Wesley Heights residence built in 1925 that was thoughtfully and tastefully updated by the prior owners. Approximately 600 square feet was added in a seamless, three-story addition that created a cozy sunroom, a massive master closet with custom built-ins and a lower level game room/storage area.  Noted architect Ankie Barnes of Barnes Vanze & Associates, and Richard Zantzinger of Zantzinger & Associates were the construction managers.  

This is one of the most charming homes in Wesley Heights, noted for its climbing wisteria over the front door. Wesley Heights is one of Washington's premier neighborhoods, and is the perfect location for those looking for a picturesque setting with all of the conveniences of the city. This well designed and appointed residence with 4BR, 3BA and 1HB exudes old world charm and is on a rare flat lot for Wesley Heights. The main level boasts a family room off the kitchen and separate breakfast nook, a living room with a separate reading nook, a sizeable dining room and the cheerful sun room.  Starting with the two sets of french doors from the sunroom, there is egress to the beautifully landscaped side yard and other outdoor areas throughout the house. This is one of the most charming homes in Wesley Heights, one of Washington's premier neighborhoods, and is the perfect location for those looking for a picturesque setting with all of the conveniences of the city.
