Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Arlington’s Aurora Hills/Oakcrest neighborhood, 837 31st Street S brings together a pretty appealing combination: completely move-in ready, plenty of space, a private backyard, off-street parking - all in a location that keeps the best of Northern Virginia and the DMV within easy reach. Inside, the south-facing home is bright, comfortable, and wonderfully functional. Hardwood floors run through the main level, where a spacious living room with a brick fireplace flows into the dining area and a shiny, bright, fully updated kitchen. With plenty of cabinetry and counter space, this is a kitchen that’s every bit as practical as it is pretty, with room to cook, gather, entertain - or simply spread out the takeout containers. Three bedrooms are located together on the first upper level, including a generous primary suite with its own beautifully updated bath. Head up one more level and you’ll find one of the home’s best surprises: a large loft bedroom with great closet space that can easily serve as the fourth bedroom, home office, guest space, playroom, or whatever else life currently requires. Still need more room? The finished lower level adds another flexible living area and a full bath, plus the laundry room and more storage than you’ll know what to do with. Outside, the fully fenced backyard feels remarkably private for Arlington, with a composite deck ready for grilling, relaxing, entertaining, or supervising whatever the dog is doing over there. And with fall planting season arriving, the timing couldn’t be better to start creating your own dream garden now, and enjoy the payoff when everything comes to life in the spring. Consider the backyard a blank canvas with excellent timing. And with three off-street parking spaces, coming home—and having friends over—is just a little easier. Fresh, polished, and thoughtfully updated, the home offers the rare luxury of simply unpacking and settling in. Adding to that sense of ease, the basement was professionally waterproofed in 2022 and includes a transferable warranty, and a CINCH Home Warranty is already in place and will transfer to the new owner at settlement—providing a little extra peace of mind from day one. All of this is tucked into an established neighborhood convenient to Potomac Yard, National Landing, Pentagon City, Del Ray, the Metro, Reagan National Airport, and major commuter routes—close to just about everything, while still feeling pleasantly removed from the action. Spacious, updated, and in a location that just might be one of Arlington’s better-kept secrets, 837 31st Street S is ready to welcome its next owners home.
