About This Home

As of March 2025

MAJOR price REDUCTION of $146,000 - NOW $1,449,000!!
THE HOUSE: This four-bedroom, two-bathroom house, (plus rough-in plumbing for a third bath,) is a delightful example of a Sears catalog home. Greater D.C. developers were avid customers of the mail-order kit houses offered by Sears, Roebuck & Co. (and other brands like Lewis and Aladdin) in the early decades of the 20th century, enthusiastically building some 2,000 of them in the area. Known for their high quality and straightforward plans, these kit houses married practicality with charm, and they’re often sought-after in the area as a local architectural specialty. This 1930s Sears Barringer Model retains its vintage allure and pairs it with a plethora of modern upgrades, including a bright, updated kitchen. There’s an expansive backyard with plenty of room for a play set or a vegetable garden and includes an additional rear lot of 10,640 square feet.
THE LOCATION: Arlington‘s Alcova Heights is a cute residential neighborhood whose name is an amalgamation of Alexandria County, Virginia (VA). Down the hill there is a 13-acre park with a playground, basketball court, and volleyball court at its heart and it’s a short drive to the many great eateries of Arlington. It’s also about a 15-minute drive to the Pentagon.
EXTRAS: More than 20,000 sq. ft lot! Approximately $140K in modern upgrades since 2000;
Vintage Elegance: Wood floors run throughout the home, providing a warm and inviting feel in every room; High ceilings and classic architectural details;
Spacious Family Living: The main floor includes a cozy living room and a generous family room addition, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Large windows allow natural light to flood the home, highlighting its timeless beauty.
Updated Kitchen: The bright, upgraded kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, sleek counter tops;
Private Primary Suite: The primary bedroom is a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and an en-suite full bathroom for added privacy and convenience.
Additional Bedrooms: Three additional well-sized bedrooms, all with ample closet space, share a second full bath, making this home perfect for a growing family or for hosting guests.
Unfinished Basement: The full basement is ready for your personal touch. With plenty of space for storage, a workshop, or future finishing of the rough-in bath, the possibilities are endless.
Outdoor Space: The backyard offers plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment, with room for gardening, play or future entertaining or even expansion of the home’s footprint. Additional rear lot with 10,640 sq ft included in sale. Total sq ft is 21,280.
