Property Description
Tucked away on a private enclave in the highly sought-after Palisades neighborhood of Washington, DC, 5211 MacArthur Terrace is being reintroduced to the market—now refreshed and ready for its next chapter.
This architecturally distinctive, multi-level contemporary offers a rare blend of privacy, serenity, and refined living just minutes from Georgetown and downtown DC. Recently refreshed with a clean, modern aesthetic, the home features light-filled interiors, expansive living spaces, and a versatile layout designed for both comfortable everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. Notable features include three wood-burning fireplaces, a coffee bar, two wet bars, and hardwood flooring and carpeting throughout.
The expansive, light-filled kitchen and adjoining entertaining area are centered around a large granite island with ample storage and include a four-burner electric cooktop, convection oven, Thermador warming drawer, built-in microwave, trash compactor, and instant hot water.
The dramatic living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, opens to a private wrap-around balcony—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation—and is complemented by a wet bar and an adjacent card or wine room overlooking the atrium-style entrance.
The bright primary suite features cathedral ceilings, new carpeting, and a spacious en suite bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities, along with two private sitting or relaxation nooks. The upper level includes three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a conveniently located laundry area.
A standout lower-level bonus room offers exceptional entertaining potential, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, half bath, and direct access to a private wooded terrace—ideal for indoor-outdoor gatherings.
Surrounded by mature trees and natural landscape, the property provides a peaceful, retreat-like setting with seamless indoor-outdoor flow—perfect for hosting guests or enjoying quiet moments in a private, serene environment. Designed with flexibility in mind, the home offers multiple gathering spaces, potential guest accommodations, and dedicated work-from-home options to suit today's lifestyle needs.
Ideally located near the shops and dining of MacArthur Boulevard, the Capital Crescent Trail, and the C&O Canal, with convenient access to Sibley Hospital, Georgetown, and the Beltway, this is a rare opportunity to own a private retreat in one of Washington, DC's most desirable neighborhoods.
