A rare opportunity to own a home with enduring character, strong bones, and exceptional outdoor space—all in a location that connects you to everything. The finished lower level is a standout feature, offering a separate private entrance, full bathroom, and flexible space that can function as a guest suite, au pair-style setup, home office, lounge, or fitness area. There is room for both sleeping and sitting/work zones, creating a private, adaptable space with excellent separation from the main living areas. Tucked into the charming Arlington neighborhood of Alcova Heights—known for its quiet, tree-lined streets and central location—this timeless Cape Cod-style home showcases classic character, solid construction, and a well-proportioned layout. Inside, you’ll find a flexible and inviting floor plan featuring 2 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and two fireplaces, offering comfortable living across multiple levels. Warm natural light fills the home throughout the day, enhancing its charm and creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere. Freshly painted prior to listing, the home feels clean, refreshed, and ready for its next owner to make it their own. Step outside to the property’s true highlight—a spacious rear deck (24x16 ) overlooking a large, flat, and private backyard, ideal for outdoor entertaining or quiet everyday enjoyment. Whether used for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying a quiet outdoor retreat, this space offers a rare combination of usability and privacy in such a well-connected location. Ideally situated with convenient access to Columbia Pike, major commuter routes, and just a short commute to Washington, DC, The Pentagon, and Amazon HQ2/National Landing, the location provides both everyday ease and long-term value.
