Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Arlington Forest, this beautifully renovated colonial feels like a private oasis yet keeps you connected to everything you love about Arlington living. With Lubber Run Park as your backyard, you will wake up to the sound of birds, stroll shaded trails just steps from your door, and enjoy the kind of privacy that feels worlds away, all while being less than a mile from Ballston Metro, Ballston Quarter, Harris Teeter, and countless shops and restaurants.

Step inside to find a home that has been fully refreshed from top to bottom. Freshly painted in Benjamin Moore’s “White Dove” and paired with refinished hardwood floors, the light filled interior feels crisp, modern, and timeless. The updated kitchen features white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel GE appliances, and adjustable LED lighting throughout, creating the perfect setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The expansive screened in porch is a showstopper, a true outdoor living room overlooking the fenced backyard and mature trees. It is the perfect spot to sip morning coffee, host dinner with friends, or unwind in the evenings in total privacy.

Upstairs, you will find three spacious bedrooms with original solid wood doors, all full of natural light, along with an updated bathroom. The lower level offers a versatile recreation room, a fully remodeled bath, and a walkout to the backyard, making it ideal for a home office, guest suite, or playroom.

Additional highlights include a brand new roof, Anderson windows, a new front door with a full glass storm door, and a large driveway that accommodates two to three cars plus ample street parking.

The location is second to none. Walk to multiple neighborhood parks, Arlington Forest Club, and the Lubber Run Community Center. Commuters will love the quick access to Route 50, the Pentagon, National Airport, and Washington DC.

This home blends modern upgrades with classic charm and unbeatable convenience. Once you step inside, you will realize it is not just a house, it is the Arlington lifestyle you have been waiting for.
