Two remarkable single-family homes are debuting soon in a fantastic location on DC’s MacArthur Boulevard.

The new residences come courtesy of local developer OPaL and include: 4894 MacArthur Blvd NW, a completed renovation and expansion of a historic property; and its neighbor at 4892 MacArthur, which is a modern, new construction home debuting at the end of the month. Though distinct in style, they are unified by the superior construction and sharp-eyed detail for which OPaL is known.

These high-end properties are set between the Potomac River/C&O Towpath and multiple parks. They are walkable to great eateries (including Et Viola, Bistro Aracosia, Lupo Verde and BlackSalt), wine shops and cafes, giving the properties access to DC’s most beautiful natural resources and urban amenities—a rarity in this part of the city.

4894 MacArthur Blvd NW is a classic Sears home, originally built in 1930, which OPaL renovated and expanded into a seamless, 5,200 square foot amalgamation of the old and new. The exterior is characterized by a classic covered front porch and original features include a foyer, entry stairway and wood-burning fireplace, that were all carefully restored. The interior also includes five bedrooms suites, a work-from-home loft, an oversized kitchen (with All Pro Thermador appliances), a recreation room, a mudroom, a laundry room and more—finished with transitional, high-end design elements.

4892 MacArthur Blvd NW is decidedly more modern but similar in scale, measuring at 5,000 square feet and including five bedrooms suites. The main level is open and unencumbered by walls, and includes a work-from-home space and west-facing screened porch with seasonal views of the river. Additional finishes include a gas fireplace with a full wall onyx hearth, a high-end kitchen with All Pro JennAir appliances, and a laundry room. The lower level also includes a second work-from-home space that could be used as a playroom or exercise space.

Both homes boast fully landscaped grounds, as well as garage parking and additional surface parking.
