816 Veitch StreetArlington, VA 22204

Exquisite, custom-built four-level residence offering 5,043 square feet of finished space, thoughtfully designed by renowned architect Gavin Nichols for luxurious, flexible living. Generous square footage, multiple kitchens, private bedroom suites, and versatile common areas make it easy to accommodate a wide range of living arrangements, hosting needs, and work-from-home setups.

Ideally situated in Arlington’s highly desirable Penrose neighborhood, this home offers convenient access to highly-rated schools, parks, playgrounds, grocery stores, restaurants, and cafés along Columbia Pike. It is just a 5-minute walk to local shops and restaurants, with quick routes to downtown DC, Clarendon, National Airport (DCA), and the Pentagon for efficient commuting in every direction.

Four fully finished levels create natural separation between quieter private spaces and active gathering areas, with living, working, and entertaining zones thoughtfully distributed throughout the home. Multiple living areas make it easy to host guests, relax on different levels at the same time, and enjoy connection while still preserving privacy.

The main gourmet kitchen—with imported Italian granite and quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances including Wolf ovens, generous prep space, and a large island—comfortably supports serious cooking and frequent entertaining. Complementary kitchens on other levels, together with two wet bars, offer additional flexibility for hosting, extended stays, or independent daily routines. A dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience.

A fully finished walk-out lower level with its own separate entrance, kitchen, bedroom, bath, and abundant storage provides an exceptional self-contained suite option. This level is well suited for long-term guests, an au pair, a home office with client access, or potential rental or auxiliary living space.

What truly sets this home apart, even among high-end Arlington properties, are its standout features: a top-level entertainment and recreation room that offers striking views of DC’s skyline and fireworks, and a wellness steam/sauna- style bath. Combined with its multi-kitchen, multi-suite configuration, walk-out lower level, two wet bars, and four-level layout, this residence delivers a level of flexibility, luxury, and “wow” factor that is exceptionally hard to find in the neighborhood.

Priced at $377 per square foot, this unique, custom-built home is a bargain relative to other S. Arlington homes.
