Listing details

Welcome to Douglas Park, one of Arlington’s most beloved neighborhoods, where classic craftsman architecture meets thoughtful modern updates. This beautifully maintained home offers a spacious open floor plan designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. At the center of the home is a gourmet kitchen featuring quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a large center island that flows seamlessly into the surrounding living spaces. Rich hardwood floors run throughout the main level, while modern eco fireplaces add warmth and character in unexpected places, including the home office and an upstairs retreat. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a peaceful escape with a sitting area overlooking the backyard, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath complete with a soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms, two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, along with another full bathroom provide comfortable space for family, guests, or work-from-home flexibility. The lower level has been significantly upgraded and now operates as a fully finished Airbnb suite with a separate entrance, offering exceptional versatility for guests, extended family, or supplemental income. Currently the unit is deemed a “Guest Favorite” on AirBnB with a 4.8 rating. Whether used as a private rental, in-law space, or additional recreation area, the lower level adds tremendous flexibility to the home with an additional full kitchen, and second laundry utility closet. Outside, you have your choice of three maintenance-free decks in which to relax. The back decks overlook a spacious backyard, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying Arlington’s changing seasons. A storage shed provides convenient space for tools, outdoor gear, and seasonal items. Ideally located in Douglas Park, the home is just minutes from Shirlington Village, local parks and trails, and some of Arlington’s best dining and shopping. Commuters will appreciate the easy access to I-395, Washington, D.C., and Reagan National Airport. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully upgraded craftsman in one of Arlington’s most desirable communities.
