Step inside through the welcoming front-entry mudroom—perfect for coats, shoes, and those rainy or snowy Arlington days. The main level showcases beautifully refinished hardwood floors and a traditional Cape Cod layout featuring a spacious Great Room with fireplace, a dedicated dining area, and a stunning updated kitchen.

Also on the main level, the versatile third bedroom (not legal) can easily function as a home office, library, sitting room, or guest space. A tastefully renovated full bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms and a gorgeous down-to-the-studs renovated full bathroom with modern finishes. Refinished hardwood floors continue throughout the upper level, adding warmth and timeless appeal. The finished lower level expands the living space even further with a recreation room, home office or flexible bonus room, plus a spacious laundry/utility room with plenty of storage. Step outside to your fully fenced backyard oasis, featuring low-maintenance, high quality artificial turf that provides a lush, inviting space for play, pets, entertaining, or simply relaxing—without the mowing, mud, and maintenance of a traditional lawn. And then there’s the LOCATION! Enjoy easy access to bus lines serving Rosslyn, Courthouse, Clarendon, Pentagon and Pentagon City Metro stations, nearby Arlington County parks, and the many walkable restaurants and shops along Columbia Pike. Additionally, there are two public parks with great playgrounds 1-3 blocks away; public library and TJ Community Center both a 10-minute walk. You’re also close to Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Penrose Square, Pentagon City, National Landing/Amazon HQ2, National Airport, and Washington, DC. Commuters will appreciate convenient access to Route 50, I-395, Washington Boulevard, and Route 66. Sports and entertainment are close at hand, too, with easy access to Nationals Park, Capital One Arena, and all that the DC area has to offer. Add Arlington’s fantastic seasonal and year-round farmers’ markets, and you’ll quickly see why this location is so special. Classic Cape Cod charm. Beautiful modern updates. Flexible living space. Fantastic outdoor living. Unbeatable commuter convenience. Year built in public record is incorrect- owners have been told the house was built circa 1941. This is the Arlington home you’ve been waiting for—beautifully cared for, move-in ready, and ready for its next chapter. Welcome Home!

This is the Arlington home for buyers who want the charm of an established neighborhood without taking on someone else's renovation project. Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, 2408 2nd Street South offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and three finished levels in the heart of Penrose. This is far more than a cosmetic update—the work has already been done, from the spaces you see every day to many of the major systems and improvements that matter for years to come. Step inside to refinished hardwood floors, new drywall, recessed lighting, new light fixtures, interior doors and trim, creating a bright, fresh interior throughout. At the center of the home is a completely renovated kitchen with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and modern finishes designed for everyday living and entertaining. All three full bathrooms have been completely renovated, while the upper level creates a private primary retreat with its own full bathroom, dedicated laundry room and additional flexible space for a home office, reading area or sitting room. The finished lower level adds an entirely different dimension to the home. With a bedroom, full bathroom, spacious family room, kitchenette, second laundry area and walk-out access to the backyard, it offers exceptional flexibility for overnight guests, extended household living, a private work-from-home setup or simply additional everyday living space. And the improvements go well beyond what you can see. The home features a new HVAC system serving the upper two levels, a separate mini-split system for the lower level, new energy-efficient windows, new exterior and interior doors, updated lighting, hardwired smoke detectors, and a whole-house backup generator—features that allow the next owner to spend less time thinking about projects and more time enjoying the home. The roof was installed in 2023. Outside, the landscaping has been refreshed and the fully fenced, level backyard offers room to entertain, garden, play or simply unwind. A private driveway provides convenient off-street parking. All of this is set in Penrose, close to neighborhood parks, Columbia Pike's restaurants, shops and everyday conveniences, with easy access to Pentagon City, downtown Arlington and Washington, D.C. If you've been searching for an Arlington home where the renovation has already been handled—from the finishes you notice immediately to the improvements you appreciate over time—2408 2nd Street South deserves to be experienced in person.

Before you settle for a condo, come see what owning your own piece of Arlington can look like. Welcome to 304 S Veitch Street—a charming home offering something increasingly hard to find at this price point: your own front door, private outdoor space, off-street parking, and no HOA. Inside, hardwood floors and natural light create a warm, comfortable feel. The main level offers two bedrooms and flexible everyday living space, while the finished upper-level loft gives you something extra—a home office, creative space, reading room, workout area or quiet retreat away from the main living areas. One of the home's best features is waiting out back. Step onto the screened porch for morning coffee, dinner outside or a relaxing evening without leaving home. Beyond it, the fenced backyard gives you your own space to garden, entertain, let a pet outside or simply enjoy having a yard in Arlington. And unlike condo living, there are no shared hallways, no neighbors above or below you, and no monthly HOA fee. You also have your own driveway for convenient off-street parking. Located in the Penrose area, you're close to everything that makes Arlington so convenient—neighborhood parks, restaurants and shops, with easy access to Columbia Pike, the Pentagon, National Landing, Washington, D.C. and major commuter routes. If you've been searching Arlington condos because you thought a detached home with a yard was out of reach, don't make your decision until you've seen 304 S Veitch Street in person. Come experience the privacy, outdoor space and freedom of having a place that's truly your own. Schedule your private showing or stop by the next open house.
