NEW LISTING! Welcome to this delightful 3-4BR/3BA home in the desirable neighborhood of Kent in Upper Northwest Washington, DC. Set on a meticulously landscaped lot along a quiet stretch of MacArthur Boulevard, this home makes a stately first impression. Built in 1957, this home was “Miller built,” signifying quality construction and among the priciest and most sought-after real estate in Northwest Washington at the time. The main level features oak hardwood floors and crown molding throughout; a recently renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry, gorgeous quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a lovely window that overlooks the sun-dappled backyard and gardens; a living room with gas fireplace; and a spacious dining room with intricate chair-rail molding. A family room on the main level features a tastefully updated ensuite bathroom and can easily be used as a 4th bedroom. There is a bright, glass-enclosed sunroom on the rear of the home which blends seamlessly with the backyard sanctuary. Hardwood floors continue on the upper level, where there are two generous-sized bedrooms, both with ceiling fans and oversized windows that frame the natural beauty of the serene backyard. Abundant storage and a dual vanity bathroom complete the upper level. The lower level of the home is almost completely above grade, and features a 3rd bedroom suite with gas fireplace, perfect for guests, a nanny or quiet home office. The mudroom is tucked away and opens from both the attached garage and the backyard, creating an ideal out of sight “drop-zone” for wet shoes, gardening supplies, backpacks, etc. Fully fenced, the pristine backyard is a true owner’s delight. It boasts both lush green grass and a lovely flagstone terrace for easy entertaining. There is a pretty stone wall with steps to a large, flat upper level, ideal for creating a play area that will be the envy of the neighborhood. The yard is planted with a variety of mature, low-maintenance perennials for year-round enjoyment. This move-in ready home is located within walking distance of many unique, locally-owned shops, award-winning restaurants (Blacksalt and Et Voila); the C&O Canal and Trail; and within a short walk to the and Palisades playground, tennis courts and soccer fields. The highly regarded public school cluster is Horace Mann Elementary (a Blue-Ribbon School), Hardy Middle School, and Jackson Reed High School. The new Washington, DC public high school site is located a short distance away. Kent is a community where property values are resilient and residents enjoy easy access to downtown, Reagan National Airport, and convenient commuter routes to Maryland and Virginia. The Annual Palisades Fourth of July Parade is a treasured neighborhood tradition dating back 50+ years. Located on MacArthur between Manning and Watson.
