Property Description
Give yourself a wish to build a dream on, and this home will do the rest. With every turn through 5705 MacArthur Boulevard, elegance and function perform a perfect duet — graceful yet grounded, timeless and inviting.
The expansive main floor opens its arms with a sun drenched living room that's ready to host laughter and late-night jazz. Flowing effortlessly into a bright sunroom and a well-appointed kitchen, this level was made for both leisurely weekends and lively gatherings. The dining room — a space to toast to new beginnings and family meals — while the powder room nearby keeps everything convenient. Step outside, and the large patio and terraced yard invite sunshine, guests, and maybe even that backyard birthday bouncy house that adds extra joy to the melody of home life.
Ascend to the third floor — the restful retreat above it all — where three spacious bedrooms share a full bath, and an additional primary suite enjoys its own private bath and walk-in closet, all humming together in perfect accord. The side by side laundry space keeps daily routines flowing smoothly into your home's gentle cadence of life.
On the entry level, you'll find a proper mudroom/foyer that opens into an inviting family room. This level also offers interior access from the attached garage for everyday ease, a dedicated office for focus and creativity, and an additional powder room that completes the composition of function and warmth.
Practical, poetic, and full of heart — 5705 MacArthur Boulevard isn't just a house. It's a melody of home, composed for those who dream bold and live beautifully.
