Exclusive Preview: A Home in DC's Palisades, Minutes From Georgetown

By Ritu Desai, Associate Broker, Samson Properties

MINUTES FROM GEORGETOWN

& THE POTOMAC RIVER

Picture a quiet, tree-lined street in Washington, DC, where the Potomac River, miles of riverside trails and Georgetown's shops and restaurants are all minutes away. That is the Palisades, and 4646 Greene Place NW sits right in the middle of it.

The home itself is just as rare: 3,479 square feet across three finished levels, with a sunroom, a fireplace den, an upstairs loft, a lower-level recreation room and a fenced yard. It is available now as an exclusive preview, so you can see it before it officially lists.

Where is the Palisades?

If you don't live in DC, you may not know the Palisades, and that is part of its charm. It is a leafy residential neighborhood in Northwest Washington, stretching along the Potomac River from Georgetown University out to the Maryland line. MacArthur Boulevard is its main street, and downtown DC is a short drive away.

From Greene Place, you are close to:

  • The Capital Crescent Trail and the C&O Canal towpath, for running, biking and long weekend walks
  • Fletcher's Cove, a riverside spot for boating and fishing on the Potomac
  • Palisades Recreation Center, the neighborhood's park and gathering place
  • MacArthur Boulevard, with neighborhood restaurants and everyday conveniences
  • The Palisades Farmers Market, every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., year round, at 48th Place and MacArthur
  • Georgetown and downtown DC, a short drive away, with easy routes into Maryland too

The neighborhood also hosts a Fourth of July parade that locals count among the best days of the year.

Inside the home, level by level

Front entry with a wood and leaded-glass door, sidelights and stone steps

The main level

You walk in through a leaded-glass door, with the living and dining rooms on either side of the entry. The kitchen has been updated with newer cabinetry, countertops, stainless steel appliances and a backsplash, with a breakfast nook just beyond.

A side addition with a fireplace gives you a true second living space. Use it as a family room, a library or a quiet den. Toward the back, a sunroom opens through sliding doors to the yard, so indoor and outdoor living flow together.

The main-level primary bedroom is the standout. It has generous closets, a remodeled full bath with accessibility features, a sitting area and direct access to the private patio.

The upper level

Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a full bath, plus a spacious loft-style room. It works as a home office, a studio, a reading room, a playroom or a second family room.

The lower level

The lower level adds a recreation room, a third full bath, laundry, a workshop and serious storage, with direct access to the garage. Unfinished areas give you storage today and room to customize later.

Outside

The rear yard is fully fenced, with a paver patio for dining, gardening or simply unwinding.

Ritu's take: who this home fits

It suits the buyer who wants to stay in the city but has outgrown a condo or a small rowhouse. The main-level primary suite makes one-level living easy, the loft handles work from home, and the fenced yard is a rare find this close to Georgetown.

The one thing to watch: this is a 1953 home that has been expanded over the years. That is a big part of its charm and its space, but plan on a thorough inspection. I'd rather you hear that from me now than from an inspector later.
