Heart of Westover! Timeless charm meets modern comfort set on a picturesque street in one of Arlington’s most beloved neighborhoods. Beautifully expanded and meticulously maintained, this home offers six bedrooms, three full baths, and a flexible floor plan ideal for today’s living. Exuding an enduring curb appeal with professionally designed landscaping, the classic front porch invites neighbors and friends alike . Inside, historic character and thoughtful updates come together effortlessly. The front living room anchored by a gas fireplace sets a cozy and welcoming tone. The adjacent dining space includes a built-in banquette window seat—charming and practical—that flows into the spacious kitchen. Designed for the home chef, the kitchen features KraftMaid shaker-style cabinetry in a rich Honey Spice finish, sleek granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a pot filler. A spacious adjoining family room is filled with natural light and leads out to a sunset-facing rear porch and a backyard designed for entertaining, complete with a circular stone patio and a playset (conveys as-is). The main level offers incredible versatility with two bedrooms—currently used as a guest suite and yoga studio—plus a full bath and a private office with custom built-ins, ideal for remote work or quiet study. Upstairs, the primary suite and two additional bedrooms offer well proportioned spaces. The primary suite is a highlight, with a spacious bespoke dressing closet and a serene en suite bath featuring a modern soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and elegant finishes. A charming eave-set laundry room adds convenience and character to the upper level. The newly redone lower level, completed in 2025, adds generous living space with a sixth bedroom, a large recreation room, laminate plank flooring, and a sleek wet bar. A mechanical and storage area rounds out the space, perfect for seasonal storage or future customization. This home has been thoughtfully updated over the years to enhance both form and function. In 2003, a major addition expanded the kitchen, dining area, family room, mudroom, and added the primary suite and a guest suite. Hardscaping, a concrete driveway, and a French drain were added alongside these improvements. In 2019, a tankless water heater was installed, followed in 2022 by kitchen updates, new hardwood flooring, an upgraded primary bath, and a new air conditioner and evaporator coil. The lower level was completely renovated in 2025, bringing even more comfort and value. Location is everything, and this home delivers. Just one block from Westover Village, you’re a short stroll to beloved local spots like The Italian Store, Westover Market & Beer Garden, Lost Dog Café, Lebanese Taverna, Ayers Hardware, and Toby’s Ice Cream. The Westover Farmers Market brings neighbors together each Sunday, while both Cardinal Elementary and Swanson Middle School are within easy walking distance. For commuters, East Falls Church Metro is just 0.7 miles away via Washington Blvd or the W&OD bike trail. Quick access to I-66, Route 50, and Langston Blvd makes trips into D.C., Tysons, or National Landing smooth and efficient. Whether you’re entertaining outdoors, hosting weekend guests, or enjoying a peaceful morning on the front porch, this elegant Westover home offers the perfect balance of historic charm, modern amenities, and neighborhood connection.

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.
