About this House

Location, location, location!! Welcome to 4870 MacArthur Boulevard in the wonderful Palisades! This subdivision feels like you are living in the suburbs, with the added benefit of having amazing restaurants, cafes, shopping, parks, entertainment (and the whole city!) nearby. This super cute condo is on the top floor, with nobody above you, and on the corner, which means extra windows and lots of natural light! The whole unit has beautiful hardwood floors, and it's been perfectly updated so you have nothing to do, just move in! All the spaces are really practical: the inviting living room (with an extra walk-in storage closet), the separate dining room (could be a perfect home office/den), the updated kitchen with an opening into the living room and a full size washer & dryer (a rare find in these buildings!) and the spacious bedroom. The renovated bathroom is freshly painted and features a new window. You will love walking to all the neighborhood restaurants and parks, or catching a bus right outside the door and being in Georgetown in just a few minutes! The C&O Canal and Fletcher's Boat house are also nearby. This condo would also make an amazing investment - students of nearby Georgetown University and American University are always looking for a great place to live! The low condo fees include water and heat, plus the maintenance of the pretty grounds.

    "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. "
