Property Description
Welcome home to a charming piece of history and a home at a great price in Arlington! This is an authentic Sears house called the “Betsy Ross,” built in 1924. The owners worked hard to maintain its 1920s charm while modernizing it. It is 1,442 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms plus a bonus room. In 2015, it was completely renovated, which added approximately 350 square of living space.
Enter the home under a covered porch surrounded by trees providing pleasant shade, perfect for a table and two chairs to relax and enjoy the day. The living room has an inviting gas fireplace, which transitions to a well-sized dining room. The dining room as a box window complete with a long bench for seating and opens up for storage. Much of the main living area is hardwood floors.
The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, slow-close cabinets and ceramic tile. It also features a butcher block-style breakfast bar with a pass-through for seating. A skylight in the middle of the home lets even more natural light into the space. The main living area contains attractive shutters for privacy and practicality when you want to let the light in.
The owner’s suite features a walk-in closet, shutters, a ceiling fan and a private bathroom with a double vanity, plenty of storage and even a towel warmer when you exit the shower!
The home features two more bedrooms with closets as well as a bonus room with a frosted glass pocket door to save space. Make this room your office, hobby room or workout area. The bonus room has an exterior door for convenience to the backyard as well as a dog door already installed for your pup! A separate laundry space and storage cabinets for your convenience on the main living level.
The back yard features a large patio just inviting you to relax under an umbrella or host friends for a barbeque. Landscaping is ideal for low maintenance, with hardy scrubs and grass area.
The basement is unfinished and has approximately 1,000 square feet of storage space, more than enough!
The rear of the home features a large parking pad, which easily fits one car and plenty of on-street parking in the neighborhood. IMPORTANT: Be advised that the driveway on the side of the house is an easement, shared by your rear neighbor and must be kept clear at all times.
The neighborhood is very walkable. The 23rd street restaurants and bars and CVS are only two blocks away. Target and other shopping is 1.7 miles away. Pentagon City mall is only 1 mile away.
Very convenient to public transportation! The Crystal City metro and VRE station and large underground retail complex is a 10 minute walk. The ride into DC is a mere 15 minutes; you couldn’t be any closer. Without traffic, you’re over the river in 10 minutes. And if you’re headed out of town, DCA airport is a 5-minute drive.
The area has also recently been branded as National Landing with up-and-coming corporations and university facilities.
Make this charming home yours!
