About This Home
As of November 2023Welcome to Aurora Hills, one of Arlington's most sought-after neighborhoods. This rarely available semi-detached 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home boasts a multitude of features. As you step through the well-maintained front yard and approach the entrance, the first thing you'll notice is the inviting front patio—an ideal spot for your morning coffee. Upon entering this sunlit home, you're greeted by a spacious living and dining area with recently refinished hardwood floors, brand-new light fixtures, and a fresh, neutral paint color throughout.
The dining area seamlessly connects to an updated kitchen featuring all-new quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, a new gas range, a sink, and contemporary light fixtures. The kitchen offers access to both the fully finished basement and the backyard deck. Descending to the basement, you'll find a generously sized living space that can serve as an office, playroom, or guest room. It could even be transformed into a legal third bedroom by adding an egress window. This level also houses a full bathroom and a spacious utility room equipped with a full-size washer and dryer.
Back on the main level, through the kitchen, a door leads to a backyard oasis—an entertainer's dream! Whether you're hosting friends and family on the expansive deck or simply unwinding on the meticulously maintained lawn, you'll find this outdoor space to be a true gem. With a storage shed and a complete fence surrounding the property, this is a substantial upgrade from condo living.
Upstairs, two bedrooms with ample closet space and a full bathroom complete this beautiful residence. With over $20,000 of recent renovations, no detail has been overlooked. This home is a commuter's paradise, situated less than a mile from the Crystal City Metro, Amazon HQ2, and the newly opened Water Park in Crystal City with endless shops and restaurants. For those seeking a pied-à-terre, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) is only 1.5 miles away. This home offers the perfect balance of house living while also enjoying the perks of urban convenience.
