About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to 2016 21st Street North in Arlington, VA! This property features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering a spacious layout across four levels of living space - and with no condo or HOA fees!
Step inside from the covered front porch to a bright living room boasting glass-front built-ins and hardwood floors throughout. The updated kitchen features gas cooking, Quartz countertops, and a hidden pantry plus a side door to the spacious backyard. The adjacent dining room offers a seating banquet and table. A welcome coat closet completes this floor.
The second floor features two nice size bedrooms and a bright, full bathroom with a window, tub/shower, and convenient linen closet. The third floor is a versatile space, perfect for a third bedroom or a dedicated home office, catering to your unique needs. The lower level offers a family room and another full bathroom which could make for an ideal in-law or au pair suite. There’s also a utility room with laundry and additional storage.
The outdoor space is equally inviting, featuring a covered back patio and fully fenced backyard — ideal for enjoying sunny days or evening get-togethers. The current owners have invested nearly $60,000 in upgrades and improvements including expanding and re-leveling the back patio, new electrical box with upgraded capacity (EV car ready now), plumbing line replacement to sewer line, asbestos removal, lower level restoration and remodel, and fresh repainting inside and out.
The wonderful north Arlington location is adjacent to Rosslyn and Court House restaurants, grocery stores, and Metro stations. The Dawson Terrace Community Center and playground is only one block away. Located along the Custis bicycle trail for easy access to DC and the Mount Vernon Trail along the Potomac River. Georgetown is one mile away providing quick and easy access to Washington, DC. Don't miss out on the opportunity to call this charming home yours! With its thoughtful design and excellent features, 2016 21st Street North is ready to welcome you home.
