About this home
Ideally positioned along Hardy Park in the Palisades and directly bordering Georgetown, 1522 Foxhall Road NW offers a rare blend of contemporary architecture, privacy, cutting-edge craftsmanship, and direct connection to nature and retreat. Hidden behind tall perimeter hedges, the residence opens to light-filled interiors with 9-foot ceilings, where walls of glass and a retractable NanaWall dissolve the boundary between indoors and the landscape. From the moment of entry, the home is oriented toward the outdoors. The formal foyer frames views through the rear living spaces to bamboo and gardens beyond, establishing an immediate sense of tranquility and retreat rarely found within the city. Wide-plank flooring, custom Portola Paint finishes, recessed architectural lighting, and clean contemporary lines establish an understated sophistication throughout. Designed for both everyday family living and large-scale entertaining, the main level connects the kitchen, dining, living, and outdoor spaces in a highly functional layout. Floor-to-ceiling glass surrounds the dining area and family room, while the NanaWall opens fully to the rear terrace and Hardy Park, allowing gatherings to extend naturally outdoors. The relationship between the interior spaces and the surrounding greenery creates an atmosphere that feels calm, open, and distinctly removed from urban Washington despite being just minutes from Georgetown. Recent updates include refreshed second-floor and primary baths, along with a newly installed gas fireplace in the main living area. The home is also ideally situated just down the street from neighborhood favorite Jetties, with tennis courts and a playground located just below, adding rare everyday convenience and access to recreation just steps away. Centered around a Blackstone waterfall island with an integrated Bosch cooktop, the kitchen balances strong visual design with functionality. Extensive custom cabinetry, paneled Bosch refrigeration, integrated appliances, and a walk-in pantry provide substantial storage while maintaining a streamlined aesthetic. From both the kitchen and living areas, views extend directly into the surrounding landscape and beyond. Three bedrooms occupy the second level, including a secondary primary suite set within the tree canopy with exposures on three sides. The suite includes a custom walk-in closet and a bath finished with RH vanities, Porcelanosa tile, double sinks, and a glass-enclosed shower. Additional bedrooms feature oversized windows overlooking the quiet streetscape of the Palisades, offering flexibility for family living, guest accommodations, or workspace needs. The top level is devoted almost entirely to the primary suite. Cathedral ceilings and multiple skylights shift light throughout the day, while a secluded balcony captures unobstructed views over parkland and evening sunsets across the treetops. A boutique-style dressing room with extensive built-ins and a central island connects to the primary bath, which includes a freestanding soaking tub, a skylit walk-in shower with dual shower heads, RH vanities, Porcelanosa tile, and a separate water closet. An additional flexible room on this level is well suited for a sitting room, office, or fitness studio. The fully walkout lower level continues the home's entertaining focus with a spacious recreation lounge, custom wet bar, wine storage, guest bedroom, full bath, and a dedicated mudroom and laundry area with an integrated dog-washing station. Direct access to the rear patio further extends the indoor-outdoor living experience and connection to the surrounding natural setting. Set within one of Washington's most established residential neighborhoods, with direct access to trails, top-rated schools, and Georgetown, 1522 Foxhall Road NW offers a distinctly modern living experience defined by privacy, tranquility, natural surroundings, and the rare feeling of escape within the city.

The Palisades, located between Georgetown and Glen Echo, is a residential and riverside Washington, DC neighborhood with wooded bluffs and Potomac River trails. MacArthur Boulevard sets the tempo, with coffee counters, a small market strip, and sidewalk chatter clustering near the Palisades Library. Brick Colonials and mid-century homes line leafy streets that slope toward the C&O Canal towpath. Community touchstones include BlackSalt, Et Voila!, and the Palisades Library for meals, meetups, and readings. The Canal Road corridor frames the edge with parkland and bike routes, while Battery Kemble Park adds a quiet ridge of trees and paths.
