Property Description
Mornings in this house start quietly on the main level, sunlight coming in across the wide front rooms and through the windows that line the back of the home. Four levels flow in a way that feels natural: you move from kitchen to dining to living spaces without thinking about it, & there is always ample space to sit, work, or talk. With 5,043 finished square feet, multiple kitchens, private suites, & generous common areas, the home adapts easily to different stages of life and different ways of living, becoming an everyday retreat from the pace of the city. Step outside and you're in Penrose, one of Arlington's most walkable neighborhoods. A five-minute stroll brings you to shops, cafés, and restaurants along Columbia Pike, where you can grab coffee, pick up groceries, or meet friends for dinner without getting in the car. When you do need to go farther, you are minutes from downtown DC, Clarendon, National Airport, and the Pentagon, so commutes & trips are straightforward in every direction. Inside, the four fully finished levels give the home a rhythm. Quieter bedrooms & private retreats sit apart from more active spaces, so someone can be on a call, reading, & someone else can be watching a game, all without getting in each other's way. Multiple living areas let gatherings spill across floors or break into smaller groups while everyone still feels connected. The main kitchen is the center of the home. Imported Italian granite & quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, & Wolf ovens anchor a space built for serious cooking, big holiday meals, and everyday breakfasts. There is room to spread out on the large island, room for people to linger with a glass of wine, and enough storage to make entertaining feel easy rather than stressful. Additional kitchens on other levels, along with two wet bars, give guests, long-term visitors, or early risers a place to make their own coffee or meals without heading to the main floor. A dedicated laundry room keeps daily life organized and out of sight. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level feels like its own apartment. With a separate entrance, full kitchen, bedroom, bath, and abundant storage, it works as an extended-stay guest suite, space for an au pair, a home office with client access, or an auxiliary living area with real privacy. It is a flexible retreat within the larger retreat, ready to shift as needs change over time. At the top of the house, the upper-level recreational room opens to striking views of the DC skyline, a front-row vantage point for fireworks and city lights that turns the space into an evening oasis above the trees. Nearby, a wellness steam/sauna-style bath turns the end of the day into a spa visit than a quick shower, making this level a true private retreat.
Outside, the practical pieces are just as well thought out. A full driveway for up to 10 vehicles—including a 1.5-car garage & additional off-street spots—makes it easy for households with several drivers & makes hosting gatherings straightforward. And through it all, you come back to the value: at roughly $377 per sq. ft, this custom-built home offers a rare combination of flexibility, convenience, & retreat-like living in the heart of Arlington!
