Tucked away on a quiet side street in the sought-after Ashton Heights/Lyon Park neighborhood, this timeless Arlington Colonial blends classic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Just minutes from Washington, DC, Clarendon and Virginia Square Metro stations, and the lively Lyon Park Community Center, the home also sits within blocks of top-rated schools including Long Branch Elementary and Thomas Jefferson Middle. Inside, a spacious and sunlit layout connects formal living and dining areas with an inviting family room and an upgraded kitchen featuring granite countertops, high ceilings, a large bay window, stainless steel appliances, and a garden window that floods the space with natural light. A remote-controlled gas fireplace with a marble and dark wood mantle adds warmth and elegance, while a bright home office with four windows and built-in bookshelves offers the perfect space for work or study. Recent renovations completed in summer 2024 include a new architectural roof, new skylights that brighten the family room, refinished oak floors, a brand-new full bath in the basement, plush new carpeting in the bedroom suite and office/den, a new sump pump, and fresh interior paint throughout. Additional upgrades such as Anderson Renewal windows, stylishly updated bathrooms, and Italian travertine-textured tile flooring in the basement elevate both comfort and style. Outdoors, the property offers multiple spaces for relaxation and entertaining, including a screened side porch with marble floors, a large deck off the family room, and a secluded flagstone patio nestled in the backyard. The fully fenced yard is surrounded by mature landscaping, creating a private urban oasis. A charming brick front porch and walkway enhance the home’s curb appeal, while practical features like a spacious 650-square-foot attic with flooring and lighting, a 7x10 storage shed, and a 3-car driveway with ample non-permit street parking ensure everyday ease. This exceptional home offers a rare blend of tranquility, character, and convenience in one of Arlington’s most desirable locations.
