A very rare opportunity to own a piece of Arlington's history. It is believed this beautiful Craftsman style home was a caretaker's cottage to Roberston Farm back in 1920. It was later expanded & modernized by the 2nd owner - a carpenter with a good eye for attention for detail. Surprisingly MODERN, OPEN and SPACIOUS, yet still full of CHARACTER, ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS and CHARM. You will be greeted by a spacious and recently refinished front porch - a perfect place to sit, relax and soak up the beautiful, well stocked garden. Once inside you will be delighted by the tall ceilings, wide open layout, sunlight from all 4 sides, a beautiful brick gas fireplace, exposed wood beams, detailed trim work and original "heart of pine" wood floors! A large kitchen is a chef's and entertainer's delight with plenty of solid hickory cabinets, granite counters, and a large breakfast bar. For entertainers, this is your dream come true. The main level rooms, with no walls between them, let your guests circulate from room to room easily. The party continues outdoors to a generously sized patio accessed from the off-kitchen family room. The main level also features a sunny study/home office with a door to another patio! Upstairs you will find 3 very spacious bedrooms, a master bedroom with Juliet balcony which lets you enjoy the private back yard and some fresh air. The master bath includes a Jacuzzi jet shower and a double sink vanity. Two additional, light filled, bedrooms and a second bath with a Jacuzzi tub, complete the upstairs living space. A fully finished large basement has tall ceilings, new porcelain tile floors, 2 entrances, many windows, trim work, loads of storage and a full spa-like bath. The stunning yard is a private oasis with a large patio that flows to a flat, grassy side yard. There's plenty of room for grilling, relaxing, playing and hosting your family and friend gatherings. The yard is fully fenced, lovingly landscaped, easily maintained and features a large storage shed with 4 separate rooms for all your outdoor hobbies, gardening tools, bicycles and tools. This home is perfectly located within a 5 minute walk to a community playground, the Lee Heights shopping center featuring: Starbucks, Randolphs Bakery, Arrowine, Cafe Colline, dog spa and so much more. For your commute, the Metro Bus is a couple of minute walk away, you are also close to Ballston Metro. Easy access to Route 66, Chain Bridge, Spout Run - just 4 miles away from Washington, DC. It is a very special and a deeply loved home. Make your showing appointment today!
