Welcome to 4561 MacArthur Boulevard NW, a substantial, custom-built residence offering approximately 4,050 square feet of finished space across four levels.

A custom ProVia front door opens to an impressive main level with 10-foot ceilings and gracious formal and informal living spaces. The expansive living room features a gas fireplace and flows easily into the adjoining dining room. At the center of the home, the chef’s kitchen is appointed with custom cherry cabinetry, a professional-style cooktop, and Thermador and Bosch appliances. Double ProVia French doors extend the living space outdoors to a private Trex deck with a custom pergola, waterfall, and integrated six-person Sundance spa. The bedroom level includes a dramatic primary suite with soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and abundant natural light. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and conveniently located laundry complete the floor. The upper-level loft, also enhanced by vaulted ceilings, provides an ideal setting for a home office, library, studio, or family room. Distinctive lunette windows frame a seasonal rare view of the Washington Monument The finished lower level offers exceptional versatility. A sound-treated media room features a wood-burning fireplace and 7.1 surround sound, creating an inviting setting for movies, music, or casual gatherings. Two additional bedrooms can serve as guest accommodations, offices, fitness rooms, or hobby spaces. A recently renovated full bath and plumbing for an optional second laundry area add further convenience. The landscaped grounds are designed for privacy, recreation, and low-maintenance enjoyment.

    "it's a safe and bland neighborhood. People stick to people who look like them.shoe inconvenience to not have a metro station nearby, great to be able to walk to the waterfront. I'm not a fan of the hordes of tourists and students specially on the weekends. "
