About This Property

UNPARALLELED IN THE PALISADES - At nearly 4,500 square feet, this six bedroom, five bathroom residence exquisitely blends elegant sophistication with modern comfort in the tree-lined street neighborhood of the Palisades.  Sunlight pours through expansive windows, illuminating a flowing sequence of spaces designed for both celebration and quiet retreat. The living room feels majestic yet inviting, anchored by a sleek gas fireplace with a substantial built-in mantle while the dining area is adorned with refined picture molding. Light, wide-plank engineered hardwood floors guide you through the space from front to back, culminating in a striking GOURMET KITCHEN created for effortless entertaining. A study in contrast and texture, the kitchen boasts dramatic black marble surfaces that bring a sense of polish and depth, beautifully balanced by the warmth of the surrounding living spaces. Cafe appliances and a smart refrigerator elevate both form and function, while a discreet butler’s pantry with wine storage near the mudroom allows gatherings to unfold with ease from indoors to out. A luminous main level bedroom offers comfort and privacy with its own beautifully appointed bath, ideal for a home office, visitors, or multigenerational living. Throughout the home, SOARING CEILINGS and carefully placed windows create an atmosphere that feels both expansive and intimate. The upper level reveals a primary suite that evokes the calm indulgence of a boutique hotel. Generous yet serene, it features multiple closets including a custom walk-in and a SPA-INSPIRED BATH wrapped in rich, black stonework with heated floors, a rain shower, a private water closet, and a broad window that washes the space in natural light. Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully designed, including mirrored rooms connected by a marble Jack and Jill bath and a suite with its own bath and abundant storage. Below, the lower level invites relaxation and recreation with a vast media room lined with built-in bookcases, perfect for film nights, games, or a private fitness studio. A separate entrance and direct garage access enhance flexibility, while an additional guest suite offers refined accommodations. Perfectly positioned along the MacArthur Boulevard corridor, this home provides easy access to the charming village atmosphere of the Palisades, where neighborhood spots such as Black Salt and Et Voila! offer destination dining just minutes away. Everyday conveniences, local markets, and cafes are right around the corner, while the scenic paths of the C&O Canal Towpath and the expansive greenery of Battery Kemble Park provide a peaceful escape into nature. COMMUTING IS EFFORTLESS with quick connections to downtown Washington, Bethesda, and Arlington, placing the region’s business, cultural, and dining destinations within quick reach.
