Property Description

Tucked away on a quiet no-outlet street in historic Barcroft, this expanded home enjoys peaceful views of parkland across the street, with neighborhood trails just steps from the front door. The spacious front yard offers plenty of potential for gardening and landscaping. Inside, a skylit foyer welcomes you with abundant natural light, a generous coat closet, and a convenient powder room. Sun-filled windows throughout the home create a bright and inviting atmosphere. The living room centers around a charming brick fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings at home. The galley kitchen provides ample counter space for meal preparation, while the dining area is surrounded by large corner windows that fill the space with light. At the rear of the home, a versatile den serves equally well as a family room, home office, or quiet retreat. French doors open to the patio and expansive backyard, shaded by mature trees and ready for gardening, recreation, or entertaining. A distinctive spiral staircase connects the den to the upper level. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, a bonus room with a Juliet balcony, and two full baths, including one featuring classic black-and-white basket-weave tile. While tax records reflect three bedrooms, a previous modification created a fourth bedroom and allows for flexible use of the space, including the option to reconfigure it into a larger bedroom if desired. The finished lower level expands the living space with a full bath, laundry area with utility sink, abundant storage, and a spacious multipurpose room with mini-split systems, ideal for a gym, studio, playroom, or hobby space. Recent improvements include an attic HVAC system (2023), boiler, water heater, and basement mini-splits (2019), refrigerator (2024), and dishwasher (2023). The roof is believed to have been replaced within approximately the past 15 years. Conveniently located near Columbia Pike's shops and restaurants, Route 50, I-395, and Washington, DC, this character-filled home offers space, flexibility, and an exceptional setting in one of Arlington's most cherished neighborhoods. Offered as-is and ready for its next chapter.
