Gorgeous renovation of this Arlington home created a spacious, open main level with entertainer?s kitchen and great room, two bedrooms and two baths downstairs in addition to three large bedrooms and two baths upstairs. The home now features over 3,400 finished square feet on 3 levels.
Welcoming you home is a flagstone path through flowerbeds and lilacs to a large porch overlooking a quiet, tree-lined street. Step inside the foyer and you?ll find beautifully maintained oak flooring and sightlines that reach from the front door to the backyard. The original living room has a wood-burning fireplace, elegantly arched doorways and five windows with lots of natural light. A large dining room is perfect for a formal dinner (even 20 for Thanksgiving) or a cozy gathering of friends. The heart of this home is its roomy kitchen, opening to the vaulted great room with a wall of windows into a lush backyard. The kitchen features a sparkling 12-foot island with pendant lights and seating as well as a gas cooktop and hidden downdraft facing the great room so the cook never misses out on the action. Expansive granite countertops surround the entire kitchen area with wall ovens, microwave, dishwasher, prep sink, main sink, as well as a built-in desk, cubbies and lots of outlets. This cook?s dream kitchen has tons of storage, with a large pantry full of pullout shelves, cupboards and drawers galore, a pullout spice rack and even a bookshelf for cookbooks. A door on the kitchen side includes a doggie-door and feeds to a lovely, flagstone patio with bistro lights.
The main level also has two full bedrooms with ceiling fans, custom blinds, hardwood floors, and lots of light. They share a buddy bath which features an oversized vanity, linen closet, tub, and toilet. The ground floor also has a powder room off the foyer, a coat closet and a broom closet.
The upstairs, with new carpeting throughout, has two spacious bedrooms at the top of the stairs?each with a row of windows, and a closet?that share a hall bath with blue floor tiles, tub, vanity and small towel closet. A large hallway closet, which opens onto the upstairs HVAC unit, is perfect for any storage needs. The primary bedroom suite is light and bright with many windows and three large closets ? so no need to argue over closets space! The en-suite bath has double sinks, a huge linen closet, and a walk-in shower with a sliding glass door.
The basement was recently renovated with vinyl flooring, white-washed brick fireplace, built-in shelves and painted paneling. In addition to the massive finished rec area, a large unfinished space has a door to the backyard, half bath, laundry, gas furnace and tons of storage space.
The homeowners were gardeners and have maintained lush perennial beds edged with mature trees and shrubs that surround the house to create a green haven. The gardens provide blooms from late-winter to late-fall, including lilacs, peonies, climbing roses and hydrangeas. The yard has a storage shed for all of your gardening and lawn care needs.
The location of this home cannot be beat. It sits on 8,646 square feet on a quiet street with minimal traffic just three blocks from the East Falls Church metro. It?s less than a mile to Westover and its farmer?s market, library, Italian Store, Lost Dog, beer garden, ice cream parlor, bakery and variety of restaurants. If you enjoy walking or running, you?re a half mile to the W&OD Trail. Two blocks away is Tuckahoe Park and its nature trails, playground, baseball field and tennis courts.
