Featured Property of the Week: 5315 Macarthur Blvd NW

“Contemporary luxury in Kent, a premier NW Neighborhood. Don’t miss this contemporary gem in one of the most desirable neighborhoods D.C. has to offer. Built in 1966 and renovated in 2018 (with all new windows in 2021), 5315 MacArthur Blvd in Kent has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plenty of natural light, pristine hardwoods throughout, a separate dining room, and a fabulous vaulted-ceiling, four-season room, both of which open onto a gorgeous stone patio. And that’s just a general description. You have to see what the owners have done to make this home a contemporary paradise. There are custom touches everywhere you look. A custom-designed Scandinavian banister. Fantastic European kitchen featuring a gas cooktop, stainless appliances and plenty of cabinet space. Heated floors in all three full baths. Luxurious master bath with his/her sinks and large walk-in shower. Tons of closet space in the master bedroom. Dimmable recessed lighting throughout. Wall-mounted TVs with hidden wiring. Custom glass wine storage closet. The washer and dryer are new this year. And just wait till you stand on the incredible stone patio and go up the Zen-like steps to the rear garden area. Not only is the house wonderful, but it puts you in the much sought-after Kent neighborhood, giving you the ability to get out of the city at night without really getting out of the city. If you don’t already know about Kent, you’ll be amazed that such a place exists right inside D.C. Kent is quiet, tree-lined and filled with beautiful homes. While someone is taking a walk and admiring your house, you’ll be strolling elsewhere admiring another. This true getaway, tucked right here in NW, is so beautiful both inside and outside, no written description is going to do it justice.”
