About This Home
As of August 2025New Price! Exceptional residence seamlessly blends contemporary design with classic Arts & Crafts architecture in this inviting Lyon Village / Clarendon home. Nestled on a .26-acre lot, backing to trees, this residence provides 3-fully finished levels with 4,000 square feet of living space. Serenity and privacy just 0.6 miles from the Clarendon Metro and the vibrant urban core of Arlington’s most coveted neighborhood. A comprehensive renovation in 2021–2022 brought transformative updates: brand new kitchen, new roof, all-new systems and windows, stylish upper-level shed dormer addition, wide plank white oak flooring on the main level, whole-house generator, and a dramatic reimagining of both the facade and interiors to reflect a contemporary sensibility. Inside, discover expansive, light-filled living spaces ideally suited for elegant entertaining and effortless daily living. A southeastern front exposure floods the formal living and dining rooms, and adjacent office, with natural light. Striking fireplace and built-in display shelving add character, while custom blinds provide flexibility between full or filtered light. The office offers a quiet workspace, and the rear family room impresses with soaring beamed ceilings, a second fireplace, custom built-ins, a designer bar with horizontal tiling, and windows overlooking lush yard. The chef’s kitchen is a bold interplay of black and white tones, anchored by a waterfall peninsula with seating and storage, ideal for casual dining or hosting. Top-tier appliances include Thermador cooktop, hood, wall oven, convection microwave; Bosch dishwasher; and sleek Fisher & Paykel refrigerator drawer. Floating shelves, spacious pantry, pot rack, and custom cabinetry complete this thoughtfully designed and highly functional culinary space. A main-level bedroom with vaulted ceiling enjoys tranquil views of rear yard. A full bath adjoining the bedroom ensures flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. A curved staircase leads upstairs to a charming landing and sitting area. Two oversized bedrooms share full bath, and offer walk-in closets and custom roman shades by Dan Kugler. One bedroom features an expanded dormer with standing seam metal roof and oversized windows that frame backyard and treetop views. Finished lower level adds flexibility: spacious recreation room features third fireplace, fourth bedroom currently configured as a home gym, access to attached garage, and large laundry room with built-in shelving and more storage. So much storage and utility space ensure convenience and functionality. Unparalleled outdoor living! Over 2,000 square feet of terraces and decking surround a heated saltwater pool with tiered waterfall, circular firepit and seating, grilling and dining areas, and even a ping pong table. The dining area sits next to lovely Hinoki Cypress, ideal for seasonal dining. The tiered vegetable garden planted and already enjoying summer bounty. The lushly landscaped planting beds, designed by a landscape architect, feature peonies, hydrangeas and seasonal highlights, as well as perennial grapes, fig tree and asparagus. Every outdoor space reflects the same thoughtful attention to detail found inside home. All of this is located just two blocks from Lyon Village Park—with its playground, splash park, tennis and basketball courts—and only a short stroll to Clarendon’s shopping, dining, entertaining, metro and major commuter routes. Year-round fun awaits the new owner, making this singular offering in sought-after Lyon Village not only a private sanctuary, but the perfect place to enjoy the seasons to their fullest. A true retreat in the heart of it all.
