ARLINGTON, VA — This historic home — originally built in 1910 and expanded and extensively renovated in 2011 — is in the perfect location within minutes of Washington, D. C., National Landing and National Airport.
The five-bedroom home with a walk-out basement is situated on a corner lot with a wraparound yard and picket fence, flagstone patio and two side-by-side off-street parking spaces. Short distance to schools, shops, grocery stores, restaurants and public transportation.
Part of the Maywood Historic District, the home has charming touches from the early 1900s but has been updated with modern conveniences. In 2011, the house went through an award-winning $450k renovation, with a new 100-year standing-seam metal roof, new HVAC systems with WIFI-enabled controls, a bright family room addition with a vaulted ceiling, a new kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and a completely new basement with two bedrooms, a full bath and a large recreation room with a freestanding natural gas stove on a custom hearth with reclaimed flagstone.
Each of the basement rooms is full of light, with large windows, and there's a separate entrance with a wide external staircase.
The main level and basement are wired for Fios Internet, making working from home a breeze, and the house has a new Ring system with a video doorbell and two externally mounted cameras that are compatible with Alexa devices and mobile apps. Both the family room and the rec room are wired for surround sound and wall-mounted television systems.
The front section of the house was restored to its historic roots, from the inviting front porch —check out the original doorbell — through to the large formal dining room with dark wood trim and wood plantation shutters.
