About This Home

As of May 2024

Welcome to 218 James Thurber Ct in the heart of Falls Church City. This impeccably maintained residence offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and classic appeal. This quiet cul-de-sac community has only 18 homes and offers ultimate charm and convenience, all with NO HOA!This end-unit townhome has several unique features that make it one of a kind even within this small enclave of homes. How about 4 bedrooms not just 3 and 3.5 bathrooms not just 2.5 bathrooms to start?! How about an extra large, gated backyard taking advantage of the end unit and location at the end of the street?You will be impressed by the paver driveway (room for two cars) and the gorgeous hardscape that surrounds the lush landscaping leading to a covered alcove entryway (helps keep the Amazon deliveries dry!)The entry-level (bottom) of this home features a family room, kitchen (so you don’t need to haul groceries upstairs), dining area, and powder room. The kitchen opens to the den on one side and to the backyard on the other side, allowing friends and family to gather while food prep is underway. Don’t forget the heated limestone floors in the kitchen and dining room! Double French doors in the front of the den and a side yard door bring in lots of natural light and outdoor seating extends the den to the front yard. Plenty of storage is available in the free-standing shed. The main (middle level) has the primary suite complete with a brand-new walk-in closet, freshly upgraded bathroom, and balcony with sliding glass door overlooking the backyard. Imagine enjoying your first cup of coffee on your private balcony! The other half of the main level is a large townhouse-wide living room with a fireplace and flanking bookshelves.The top level has 3 more generously sized bedrooms, including a large bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. The hall bathroom and laundry area finish off this floor. The stairwell skylight and bathroom skylight keep the upper level bright!All appliances were replaced over the last 6 years and details regarding the ages of HVAC, water heater, windows, and roof are at the house. The location can't be beat with easy access to downtown Falls Church. Walk to the Saturday Farmer's Market, Harris Teeter, State Theatre, Northside Social, and endless restaurants up and down Broad St. Open Houses: Thursday, May 16 from 5:30-7:30, Friday, May 17 from 5:30 – 7:30 and on Saturday/Sunday, May 18-19 1- 3 PMOffer deadline Sunday May 19 at 7 PM.
