    What's special

    Peaceful potomac river viewsClean modern designAdditional off-street parkingStriking multi-story glass bayPrivate work-from-home spaceExposed-beam front porchWhite oak floors
    4892 MacArthur Boulevard NW pairs clean modern design with a rare sense of warmth, scale, and ease in the heart of the Palisades. Built in 2024 by OPaL, this approximately 5,000-square-foot residence is thoughtfully composed, with refined finishes, strong architectural lines, and a floor plan designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. From the street, the home presents beautifully. An exposed-beam front porch adds warmth and approachability, while a striking multi-story glass bay introduces a bold architectural note and draws natural light deep into the interior. The result is crisp and contemporary, yet never austere. Inside, the main level unfolds with openness and intention. White oak floors, picture windows, and a dramatic fireplace create a compelling focal point, while the layout moves effortlessly from one space to the next. The kitchen is both polished and practical, anchored by a large seated island and appointed with JennAir appliances, generous quartz counters, a walk-in pantry, and a sunlit breakfast area with automated sheer blinds. Hidden discreetly behind custom bookshelves, a private work-from-home space adds another layer of utility without disrupting the clean visual flow. One of the home’s defining architectural features is the airy four-story stairway, which rises through the home and culminates in a vaulted ceiling above, enhancing the sense of volume and light throughout. Just off the main living area, the west-facing screened porch extends the living space outward and captures peaceful Potomac River views. Framed by a cedar-plank ceiling, it is a beautifully finished outdoor room equally suited to quiet mornings, casual dinners, or the last light of the day. The home offers five bedroom suites, four up, including a lower level with rec room, mudroom, and private guest suite. Upstairs, the primary suite is generously proportioned and positioned to capture western light and river views. A custom-fitted dressing room and a serene spa-like bath with a soaking tub and oversized glass-enclosed shower complete the space with a sense of calm and finish. A full-size laundry room is located on the bedroom level, right where it belongs. The loft level adds the fifth suite along with a flexible bonus space ideal for a gym, office, den, or playroom. Outside, a one-car garage with EV charging, additional off-street parking, and a fenced rear yard framed by an ivy wall complete the offering. And then there is the setting. Tucked within one of DC’s most desirable neighborhoods, this home places you moments from Lupo Verde, Bistro Aracosia, Fletcher’s Cove, the C&O Towpath, and the Capital Crescent Trail, as well as one of the city’s most beloved public libraries. It is a truly walkable setting with a village feel, yet with easy access to Georgetown, Bethesda, and McLean. Modern, polished, and distinctly well executed, 4892 MacArthur Boulevard NW is a Palisades home with presence, composure, and lasting appeal.
