Property Description
5043 Dana Place NW is a bright and beautifully maintained semi-detached home in the heart of Kent/Palisades. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home strikes a perfect balance between classic charm, functional living space, and thoughtful updates. Natural light pours into the main level throughout the day, highlighting beautiful hardwood floors, elegant crown molding, and an inviting layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The welcoming living room features windows on two exposures and flows seamlessly into the dining room, complete with built-ins and timeless character details. The kitchen features white wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and a gas range. Just beyond, a sunny rear addition lined with windows overlooks the backyard and offers exceptional flexibility as a den, home office, playroom, or reading room. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms with hardwood floors and a classic black-and-white tiled bath featuring a skylight that fills the space with natural light. The finished lower level provides even more versatility with a spacious recreation or family room, a full bath, abundant storage space, and a full-size washer and dryer. Whether used as a guest suite, exercise room, or additional hangout space, the lower level adds valuable functionality to the home. Outside, the large fenced backyard offers a rare retreat in the city with plenty of space for entertaining, gardening, pets, or play. The location is exceptional, just one block from Key Elementary School and moments from the neighborhood favorites along MacArthur Boulevard. Nearby, the Palisades Recreation Center offers a playground, sports fields, tennis courts, skate park, and a dog park. Residents also enjoy easy access to Battery Kemble Park, the C&O Towpath, the Palisades Library, and the beloved year-round Sunday Farmers Market. Commuters will also appreciate the convenient access to downtown DC, Maryland, and Virginia. *square footage is approximate and should not be used for valuation purposes
