Property Description

Modern sophistication meets timeless charm in this refined and inviting Lyon Village residence. Seamlessly blending contemporary design with classic Arts & Crafts architecture, this exceptional home is nestled on an expansive, quarter-acre+ lot backing to wooded parkland, offering rare 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: new roof, all-new systems and windows, stylish upper-level dormer addition, white oak flooring on the main level, whole-house generator, and a dramatic reimagining of both the façade and interiors to reflect a contemporary sensibility. Inside, discover over 1,800 square feet on the main level alone, with 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, and 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. Outdoor living is unparalleled! Over 2,000 square feet of terraces and decking surround a heated saltwater pool with tiered waterfall, hot tub, firepit, grilling and dining area, and even a ping pong table. The dining area sits next to lovely Hinoki Cypress, perfect for seasonal dining. The tiered vegetable garden planted and ready for summer harvests. The lushly landscaped planting beds, designed by a landscape architect, feature peonies, hydrangea and seasonal highlights, as well as perennial grapes, fig tree and asparagus! Every outdoor space reflects 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. A full season of fun in this yard awaits the new owner, making this rare 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.
