A Palisades Home with Room to Settle In

The Palisades is one of NW DC’s most quietly distinctive neighborhoods — a residential enclave tucked between the C&O Canal corridor and the Maryland border, where tree-lined streets and a genuine neighborhood character have made it a consistent draw for buyers seeking something beyond the typical urban grid.

This 1952 single-family home at 1663 45th Street NW offers 1,856 square feet with two bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath — a footprint that provides real flexibility without the overhead of a larger property. Free off-street parking adds practical value that is easy to underestimate in this part of the city.

MacArthur Boulevard, the neighborhood’s commercial spine, is close at hand, offering local dining, coffee, and everyday retail. Glover Archbold Park and the C&O Canal towpath are accessible for those who want green space woven into daily life.

A Wardman team member is available to provide recent comparable sales, context on the Palisades resale market, and buyer advisory for this home. Reach out to begin the conversation.

The Palisades Context
The Palisades occupies the far northwest corner of DC, bordered by the C&O Canal, Glover Archbold Park, and the Maryland line. It is an established residential neighborhood with a distinct identity — low-density, heavily wooded, and anchored by a walkable stretch of MacArthur Boulevard that serves as its commercial center.
The Home Itself
Built in 1952, this single-family home delivers 1,856 square feet with two bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath. The layout offers meaningful living space without the scale of a larger property, and free off-street parking is a genuine asset in a neighborhood where street parking can be competitive.
Everyday Convenience
MacArthur Boulevard provides local dining, coffee, and neighborhood retail within easy reach. The C&O Canal towpath and Glover Archbold Park offer accessible green space, and the broader amenities of Georgetown and Tenleytown are a short drive or bus ride away.

Property Location

About 1663 45th St NW

The home at 1663 45th Street NW was built in 1952 and offers 1,856 square feet of interior space across two bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath. Single-family homes of this scale in the Palisades represent a relatively rare opportunity, as the neighborhood’s housing stock skews toward larger detached properties and well-established row houses. Free off-street parking is included, a practical advantage that carries real weight in this part of NW DC.

The Palisades sits at the northwestern edge of DC, bounded by the C&O Canal to the south, Glover Archbold Park to the east, and the Maryland border to the north and west. MacArthur Boulevard serves as the neighborhood’s commercial corridor, with local restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday retail concentrated along its walkable stretch. The surrounding park system — including the Canal towpath and Glover Archbold — gives the neighborhood a green, low-density character that is unusual for a location still within the District.

Daily life in the Palisades tends to orient around MacArthur Boulevard for errands and dining, and the Canal towpath for recreation. Georgetown’s broader retail and restaurant offerings are accessible by car or bus, and Tenleytown provides additional commercial options to the east. The neighborhood’s residential streets are quiet and heavily canopied, giving the area a pace that differs markedly from denser parts of NW DC.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked extensively with buyers navigating the Palisades and upper NW DC single-family market, where inventory is limited and well-priced homes move quickly. We bring deep familiarity with the neighborhood’s pricing dynamics, the range of property types available, and the due-diligence considerations specific to homes of this era and scale. If you are evaluating this home or others like it in the 20007 zip code, we would be glad to share recent comparables and our perspective on the current market — reach out to get started.
