This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in south Arlington offers a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. Unlike most homes in the neighborhood, this one features a stunning remodeled kitchen and a spacious living/dining room addition—perfect for entertaining. The layout includes two bright bedrooms upstairs with a full bath, while the sunny basement-level bedroom has its own full bath. The front room, currently a cozy family room, doubles as an office with built-in shelves, a TV closet, and a gorgeous bay window overlooking a park with a creek. There are storage shelves in basement utility room, external storage in crawl space, and more storage in the attic! The fenced backyard boasts a lovely patio, plenty of space for a large dog, and two Japanese maples—one recovering beautifully from storm damage and another adding seasonal charm to the front yard. The stone-paved driveway adds to the home's curb appeal, and street parking is never an issue. Practical upgrades include a new roof (2021) and a new washer/dryer (2024). The location is unbeatable— just 0.3 mile(s) to Giant Grocery, a vet, Gold’s Gym, two fantastic restaurants, and other amenities. Four Mile Run Park, with its extensive running and biking trails, is right across the street, while Shirlington’s theaters, shops, and dining are less than 1.5 miles away. Commuters will appreciate the easy access to two metro stations, and the Potomac River bike trails also close by. This property is zoned for Wakefield High School. With 1,900 sq. ft. of space in this sought-after neighborhood, a fenced yard, and stunning views of greenery, this home truly is a rare find!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
