Welcome to this beautifully updated single-family home, tucked away on a quiet side street in the highly sought-after Barcroft Forest neighborhood. Blending charm, comfort, and an unbeatable location, this home offers the perfect mix of privacy and convenience--just a short walk to the Four Mile Run Trail, scenic parks, the Barcroft Community Center, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of Shirlington Village.
From the moment you arrive, the extended front porch and upgraded entryway offer a warm, inviting welcome. Step inside to a light-filled open-concept layout designed for modern living. A major renovation in 2016 significantly expanded the home's footprint and transformed the main level for enhanced flow and functionality. The remodel added a dedicated mudroom, expanded the kitchen, and enlarged the dining area, making the space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a pantry, and a movable island. Just off the kitchen, a spacious family room offers a natural gathering spot, perfect for relaxing or hosting guests. The renovation also extended the lower level, adding valuable storage space and included the installation of a new roof, offering long-term peace of mind.
Step outside into your own private, fully fenced backyard oasis--a large, flat yard that backs directly to mature trees and the peaceful Four Mile Run Trail. With no homes behind, you'll enjoy rare seclusion right in the heart of Arlington. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting summer get-togethers, this outdoor space is an extension of your lifestyle.
The main level includes three bright bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level features a fourth bedroom, a den, a spacious recreation room, a renovated full bathroom, laundry area, and abundant storage.
With thoughtful updates, expanded living space, and an exceptional location near nature, community amenities, and the best of Shirlington, this home is the perfect Arlington retreat. Open House May 31 & June 1--come experience the charm and comfort of this exceptional home for yourself!
