Welcome to your private retreat in sought-after Arlington Forest, where timeless charm meets modern comfort. Fresh paint from top to bottom enhances the gleaming interior. This classic three-level brick home, lovingly maintained by long-term owners, offers three bedrooms and two full baths with thoughtful updates throughout, including a remodeled gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and natural wood-finished cabinets. Upstairs, natural light highlights rich wood floors in the serene primary bedroom—complete with blackout blinds—and two additional bedrooms with a full bath. The lower level extends the living space with a generous recreation room, full bath, and utility room with washer and dryer, while ample attic storage keeps everything neatly tucked away. A two-year-old refrigerator, a 2024-installed tankless water heater, and a roof just eleven years old with a transferable forty-year warranty provide lasting peace of mind. Outdoors, the enchanting screened-in porch with retractable screens, door, and Trex decking is perfect for morning coffee, evening hors d’oeuvres, or cocktails overlooking lush gardens accented by azaleas, mums, and hydrangeas. Just a mile and a half from Ballston Metro and steps from Lubber Run Park and Amphitheater, with easy access to Arlington Forest Park, Bluemont Park, Edison Park, and Route 50, this home offers the perfect balance of suburban serenity and urban connectivity with effortless commutes to Washington, D.C., the Pentagon, and National Airport.
