Two blocks from the Clarendon Metro station in Lyon Village, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home sits on a 0.23-acre corner lot. Built in 1928, this cottage-like Tudor features early 20th-century character like a whimsical Italian slated roof and original woodwork.
With a stone driveway leading to an attached two-car garage and new interior updates, this home is perfect for those looking for a blend of charm and modern comforts. The home at 1520 N. Highland St., Arlington has an interior area of 2,459 square feet and is on the market for $2,500,000.
Stepping into the home and through an arched doorway, visitors find a spacious living room with hardwood floors, a crystal chandelier, and a wood-burning stone fireplace. The room is soaked in natural light from a wall of windows, and built-in glass shelves sit on each side of a stone fireplace.
Adjacent to the entrance and the living space is a flexible room with an attached bathroom, French doors, and a striking ceiling lighting feature. The bright and airy space could serve as a fourth bedroom or a home office.
The semi-open-concept living and dining spaces are separated only by a large archway, with the dining room large enough for an eight-to-10-seat table. Windows and French doors leading to the sunroom allow the space plenty of natural light, and a doorway directly to the kitchen makes the space convenient for a busy host.
Through the French doors from the dining room is the bright sitting and sunroom. The room is full of windows, with a door to access one of two patios and the backyard space. With room for plenty of seating, it’s the perfect spot to read a book or just soak in the sunlight.
Off the dining and living room is the eat-in kitchen with a charming bay window breakfast nook. The kitchen features modern updates like stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a large walk-in pantry. A small hallway also leads to a mudroom and the entrance to the home from the two-car garage.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom features crown molding, dark wood doors, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. The second floor of the home also has recessed lighting and wood and tile floors throughout.
The primary bathroom has double vanities with lighted mirrors, a large soaking tub, and a standing shower. The second floor of the home also features two more bedrooms and another full, renovated bathroom.
Outside, mature plants offer privacy around the dual stone patios and backyard space. The spacious stone driveway and the two-car garage offer plenty of parking space, and an additional 949 square feet of unfinished basement and attic space offer the opportunity to turn this charming home into your own.
