About This Property

4892 MacArthur Boulevard NW offers approximately 5,000 square feet of modern living in the heart of the Palisades, one of Washington, DC's most sought-after neighborhoods. Clean architectural lines, warm natural materials, Potomac River views, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan create a home that feels both sophisticated and remarkably livable.

The exterior makes an immediate impression. An exposed-beam front porch brings warmth to the contemporary facade, while a dramatic multi-story glass bay draws natural light deep into the home.

Inside, white oak floors, expansive windows, and a striking fireplace anchor the open main level. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a large seated island, quartz countertops, JennAir appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a sunlit breakfast area with automated sheer blinds. A private home office, discreetly concealed behind custom bookshelves, provides a quiet workspace without interrupting the clean architectural flow.

At the center of the residence, an airy four-story staircase rises to a vaulted ceiling, bringing light and volume throughout the home.

Just beyond the main living area, a west-facing screened porch becomes a natural extension of the interior. Finished with a cedar-plank ceiling and overlooking the Potomac River, it offers an exceptional setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or sunset views.

The home includes five bedroom suites. Four are located on the upper levels, including a generous primary suite positioned to capture western light and river views. The primary suite features a custom dressing room and spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and oversized glass-enclosed shower. A full-size laundry room is conveniently located on the bedroom level.

The loft level offers an additional bedroom suite and flexible bonus space well suited for a gym, home office, den, or playroom. The lower level provides a recreation room, mudroom, and private guest suite, adding separation and versatility for visitors or extended stays.

Outside, the property includes a one-car garage with EV charging, additional off-street parking, and a fenced rear yard framed by an ivy-covered wall.

The Palisades setting is equally compelling. Lupo Verde, Bistro Aracosia, Fletcher's Cove, the C&O Canal Towpath, Capital Crescent Trail, and Palisades Library are all nearby, giving the neighborhood its distinctive village character. Georgetown, Bethesda, and McLean are also within easy reach.

Modern, warm, and exceptionally well considered, 4892 MacArthur Boulevard NW combines architectural presence, Potomac River views, generous living space, and one of Northwest Washington's most desirable neighborhood settings.

NEW HOME by OPaL with river views in a truly walkable neighborhood! Just steps to Black Coffee, with the best latte, lunch and patio scene in NW or Lupo Verde with great wine selection and even better pizza, plus Bistro Aracosia (walking there is easy, getting a table will be the tough part).

Steps to great schools and the best public library in DC, perfect for exercise classes, Lego clubs or join their Beyond the Book Club for extra activities. Enter the home by way of an exposed beam front porch (watch the Palisades 4th of July Parade from right here).
