Scale and Character in American University Park

4712 Yuma Street NW is a five-bedroom home of considerable scale, set on a quiet residential street in American University Park. Built in 1940, the home reflects the neighborhood’s tradition of well-proportioned single-family residences that have defined upper NW for generations.

With 4,164 square feet across multiple levels, the home provides room for dedicated work, entertaining, and everyday living without compromise. Four full baths and one half bath serve the five-bedroom layout with practical generosity.

The driveway is paved and concrete-finished, with electric vehicle charging infrastructure already in place — a detail that reflects the practical expectations of today’s buyer. Parking is private and off-street, a meaningful advantage in this part of the city.

American University Park sits within close reach of the amenities along Massachusetts Avenue and Wisconsin Avenue NW, with the Tenleytown Metro station providing Red Line access. The neighborhood’s tree-lined blocks and proximity to Rock Creek Park’s western reaches make it one of upper NW’s most consistently sought-after addresses.

Established 1940 Architecture
The home was built in 1940, a period that produced some of upper NW’s most enduring residential stock. Its bones reflect the craftsmanship and proportion characteristic of mid-century construction in American University Park, where homes of this vintage remain highly sought after by buyers who value architectural integrity alongside livable scale.
Generous Five-Bedroom Scale
At 4,164 square feet, the home accommodates five bedrooms and four and a half baths across a layout designed for full-scale residential living. The room count and square footage place it firmly at the upper tier of the neighborhood’s single-family inventory, offering flexibility that smaller homes in the area cannot match.
Modern Parking Infrastructure
The driveway is paved and finished in concrete, with electric vehicle charging stations already installed. Off-street parking with EV infrastructure is an increasingly valued feature in DC’s upper NW market, where street parking can be competitive and the transition to electric vehicles is well underway among buyers at this price point.
Upper NW Positioning
American University Park occupies a well-established position in upper NW, bordered by Spring Valley to the west and Tenleytown to the east. The neighborhood’s proximity to the Red Line at Tenleytown, the commercial corridors along Wisconsin and Massachusetts Avenues, and the open space of Glover-Archbold Park gives residents a range of daily conveniences within a residential setting.
