Property Description
Inside, the home's north–south orientation, expansive windows, and skylights fill the interiors with natural light throughout the day. Bamboo flooring, recessed lighting, and two gas fireplaces add warmth and refinement, while the open living and dining spaces flow seamlessly into a dramatic vaulted sunroom addition framed by garden views—an inviting setting for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.
The fully renovated kitchen is designed with both functionality and style in mind, featuring granite countertops, extended-height cherry cabinetry, generous storage, and a suite of modern appliances including a gas range and double ovens. A breakfast bar connects the kitchen to the main living areas, creating a natural gathering space for family and guests.
Outdoor living is equally compelling. The fully fenced backyard creates a peaceful garden oasis among the curated collection of unique Japanese Maple trees -- ideal for dining, entertaining, and quiet evenings outdoors. The expansive two level patio includes a plumbed LP gas grill connection and electrical conduit for a spa, or EV charging installation. The lower paver terrace is reinforced by a cement pad engineered to support the installation of a future swim spa. Beyond the garden, a rare 25-foot-wide driveway provides two off-street parking spaces, an exceptional convenience in this sought-after neighborhood.
Upstairs, three bright bedrooms offer generous closet space and abundant natural light. The primary suite features custom closets, a beautifully renovated ensuite bath with a zero-entry double shower, and patio doors opening to a private loft retreat—ideal as a home office, studio, or reading lounge. An updated hall bath with a bathtub serves the additional bedrooms.
The lower level provides flexible living space currently configured as a home theater with Bose surround sound and a 104-inch projection screen, along with additional unfinished space well suited for storage, a workshop, or future expansion. The expanded window wells have hydraulic covers to provide light but keep the rain and leaves out.
Extensive upgrades enhance comfort and efficiency, including replacement windows and doors, high-efficiency HVAC, tankless gas water heater, upgraded electrical panels, smart lighting controls, and whole-house audio. An owned solar panel system on average generates over $3,000 annually in transferable Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), helping offset electricity costs while supporting sustainable living.
Located within walking distance from neighborhood restaurants and shops along MacArthur Boulevard, including local favorites Bistro Aracosia, Et Voila and Black Salt, the home also offers easy access to the scenic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath and the beloved Palisades Farmers Market, a favorite Sunday neighborhood tradition. Fourth of July Parade one of your yearly highlights? An easy walk from your front door to watch all the fun.
Thoughtfully renovated and architecturally significant, 4854 Reservoir Road NW offers a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless design, modern efficiency, and the distinctive village character that makes the Palisades one of Washington's most desirable places to call home.
