Arlington, VA 22207

Nestled majestically in the heart of one of Arlington's most esteemed neighborhoods, this classic brick Georgian Colonial residence has 6000+ finished square feet over three floors, exuding high-end finishes and spaces that have timeless charm and subtle sophistication. Discover a grand gallery adorned with five pairs of French doors, beckoning in streams of natural light that dance across the hardwood floors and hand-made American ceramic tile, simultaneously curating intimate spaces and grand entertaining. Begin with a step down living room with 10 ft ceilings, full length windows, crown and dentil molding, and fireplace with a marble hearth. Next, theres a step down library, also with 10 ft ceilings and crown & dentil molding, with an exceptional Birch Livery bar made from 19th c. french moldings. Library shelving custom made from a 200 year old red oak tree felled on the property. The first floor layout continues with a formal dining room with a second fireplace and White Mariposa marble surround. The grandeur of the central gallery leads directly to the gourmet kitchen with center island, Corian countertops, a suite of stainless steel appliances, two chef prep sinks, gas stove and oven, a breakfast area, butlers serving pantry, bay window and seamless access to the large rear deck so that the entertainment slips easily into the night air. Upstairs are not one but two Primary Suites. The largest bedroom has a sitting room that is expansive enough to accommodate an eat-in area or home gym, an Azul Baia Brazilian blue marble hearth fireplace, kitchenette with sink/fridge and cabinetry, plus a cantilevered Juliet balcony for taking your morning coffee with the sunrise and birdsong. Luxury continues through glass french doors into the master dressing room with built-in wardrobe and shelving, and the day calmly ends with a refreshing soak in the whirlpool tub, his/her vanities, a second toilet and bidet, double shower heads and skylight above. The upstairs is complete with three additional spacious bedrooms, ample closet storage, and its own electric hot water heater. The lower level is not to be outdone, with a huge gathering space centered around yet another fireplace, a Virginia Pine raised platform ideal for an eating area or burgeoning busker musician, a third wet bar and kitchenette, full bath, bay window and fifth fireplace. The wine cellar is swoon-worthy with racks made from the same 200 year old red oak tree that was felled on the property. A majority of the lower level is above ground, making this as sun filled as the upper two stories; walkout to the rear patio and deck. Utility room provides a brand new GE washer/dryer, roughed in wiring for potential spa, two-zoned heat pump system, two-zoned hot water system (one gas, one electric) and upgraded 400 amp electrical panel. Side-loading garage and expansive driveway provides 5-6 parking spaces and boat, ensuring convenience and ease for all occasions. The enviable lot has a mature, varied landscaping with edible fruit and vegetable trees and raised gardens, plus extensive outdoor-feature lighting. Of further interest, the propertys western property line divides Arlington and McLean and would have, historically, been part of George Washingtons survey and Civil War memorabilia has been found on the Lot! Less than a mile from Washington Golf and Country Club and Marymount University, just down the street to the highly-sought Jamestown Elementary school, a mecca of coffee shops and dining areas nearby, this location is undeniably Central to so many choices and offers a stress-free commute in multiple directions!
