About This Home
As of February 2025Looking for a house to call home? This special property is tucked into the Woodland Acres neighborhood. Homes are rarely listed here, and this residence sits on a cul de sac within easy reach of Chesterbrook Shopping (.8); Discovery Elementary (.5); Williamsburg Middle (.4); Yorktown High (1.1); numerous parks; and Arlington and McLean. Gorgeously sited on a .33 acre lot, this painted brick residence welcomes you with its green shutters, mature plantings, and a garden gate leading to a walled garden and side yard. A spacious open floor plan begins with the lovely front porch and foyer which open to the living room - with gas fireplace, ample built-ins, and wall space for art. The circular flow on the main level ensures easy living and entertaining spaces: a formal dining room at rear of home overlooking the rear yard, updated eat-in kitchen with multiple pantries for storage, a welcome home office with door to garden, and a family room that could double as the home's fifth bedroom - as this home enjoys a full bath on the main level. Venturing to the upper level one finds a primary suite with bathroom offering dual vanities, tub and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms - not a one would be considered small - and a second full bath complete the upper level. The lower level is a fully walk-out level providing entry from the 2-car garage, spacious laundry/storage room with half bath and the comfortable family room with second fireplace. The utility room also functions as a workspace for projects. The exterior of this home sees a deck for dining and entertaining as well as the walled garden with flowering bushes, trees, and plantings. This property feels at home amongst the trees and offers its owners a lovely refuge - but its proximity to schools, shopping, parks and main roads ensures easy access to daily conveniences.
