Property details for 4920 PALISADE LANE NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20016

Custom built in 1946 for the publisher of The Washington Evening Star, this gracious Georgian manor is ideally situated on a generous 0.23-acre level corner lot on one of the most desirable streets in the nation’s capital. The property’s original owners were founders of DC’s Garden Club, and the home was featured regularly on dignitary tours. Rare garden specimens remain, while mature rows of boxwoods frame the set-back fa��ade, creating exceptional privacy and impressive curb appeal. The home carries a remarkable history, having welcomed U.S. presidents, British royals, and international luminaries through its doors. Today, this distinguished residence has been extensively renovated with exceptional quality fixtures and finishes throughout, thoughtfully balancing its architectural character with the comforts of modern living. A gracious foyer is flanked by a handsome study and formal living room, each with a welcoming fireplace. The main level’s circular floor plan creates an effortless flow between the formal and informal living spaces, all bathed in abundant natural light. The beautifully proportioned dining room features French doors opening to the private rear garden. Adjacent, the sophisticated chef’s kitchen offers premium stone countertops, custom cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and large sun-filled windows. Also on this level is a spacious paneled family room/library with walls of windows overlooking the custom koi pond, along with an elegant marble powder room. A lovely staircase leads to the second floor, offering four generously proportioned bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The luxurious primary suite spans the width of the home and overlooks the rear gardens, with deep closets and a beautifully appointed ensuite featuring dual marble vanities and a frameless glass shower. The additional bedrooms are spacious, and all bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated. The third floor provides a private additional bedroom suite with a luxurious full bathroom and ample closet space. The lower level offers a large recreation room with wet bar, custom built-ins, and wood-burning fireplace, adjoining a fitness room that could also serve as an additional bedroom. This level includes a full bathroom, spacious laundry room with utility sink and abundant storage, and direct access to the oversized two-car garage, with additional space for bikes and gear. The beautifully landscaped grounds have been enhanced with a generous flagstone terrace, outdoor fireplace, and multiple areas for entertaining and enjoying the gardens. Ideally located just minutes from Georgetown, Virginia, and Maryland, with convenient access to all area airports, this rare offering presents an exceptional opportunity to own a storied and beautifully preserved Washington residence that has been extensively updated for today’s lifestyle.
