LOCATION This stylish home occupies an elevated perch overlooking MacArthur Boulevard, the bustling corridor that forms the boundary between the popular, well-established neighborhoods of lower Kent and Palisades. The area is valued for its vibrant community spirit, its attractive and varied architecture, and its proximity to the hiking, biking and nature trails along the Potomac River. MacArthur Boulevard has numerous shops, restaurants and local businesses, as well as a Safeway grocery store, a Starbucks coffee shop, a post office and a local farmers’ market. A large grassy park with tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a soccer field, and a playground is close by, and dog owners enjoy congregating at nearby Battery Kemble. The area is served by several bus lines (one of which makes a quick connection to the Tenleytown Metro) and is convenient to downtown, Georgetown, and the Virginia and Maryland suburbs. Both Dulles Airport and Reagan National Airport are readily accessible. RESIDENCE The welcoming front porch of 5149 MacArthur Boulevard offers a wonderful platform from which to survey the neighborhood and enjoy summer breezes; custom drapes enable it to be closed off for private gatherings. In the rear of the home, three designated parking spaces allow owners and visitors to pull right up to the back gate and enter the property directly, especially convenient when unloading groceries or children. The interior of the home has been given a chic and well-considered renovation, resulting in sunny, open spaces with high ceilings, tall windows, abundant storage and ample architectural interest. On the entry level, a spacious living room with fireplace flows into a generous dining area and a bright, table-space kitchen. Chefs will appreciate the high quality stainless steel appliances, the granite breakfast bar, and the large central island with bar sink and separate wine refrigerator. Sliding glass doors open to a charming terrace with ample room for grilling and dining under the stars. A powder room plus an additional storage area are tucked discreetly off the kitchen. The second level has a comfortable front-facing bedroom, a hall bath, and a terrific master suite across the rear of the home. Currently, the master consists of a very private, cathedral-ceilinged bedroom with garden views, a handsome en suite bath, a dressing/sitting room, and an additional room with pocket doors that the owners have converted into an envy-inspiring walk-in closet. Laundry, utilities and plenty of additional storage space are found in the home’s lowest level, which has its own exterior entrance. This property offers style, space, convenience and privacy in one of the area’s premier residential neighborhoods.
