4514 26TH ST N, ARLINGTON, VA 22207

Open Saturday (March 15) 1-4 pm and Sunday (March 16) 1-3 pm. Ideally located in the Donaldson Run area of Broyhill/Country Club Hills, this residence exudes charming curb appeal with its painted white brick and circular driveway on 1/3 of an acre. Such a serene location within easy reach of commuter routes and Washington, DC (via either Chain Bridge or Lorcom Lane to Spout Run), this property provides its owners all the perks and none of the work. The current owners have tastefully and gorgeously updated the spaces. Upon entering, the welcoming foyer is large enough to allow a warm greeting to guests, but there's also an adjoining lovely powder room and mudroom with built-ins, a bench, cubbies, and a closet ideal for owners' gear and coats. Central to the front of the home is a gracious living room ideal for entertaining and holiday gatherings. The rear of the home, overlooking the yard, offers living and entertaining spaces that find nothing lacking. From the main level office/study for those still able to work remotely, with French doors to the rear yard, one passes through the spacious butler's pantry with a beverage refrigerator and storage—coffee bar or wine bar, what will your preference be? Then one enters what for many is the heart of the home: the kitchen and great room opening to a wrap-around screened-in porch and yard beyond. The all-white kitchen with a striking blue island affords both the casual cook and professional chef the space and tools they need to create a meal. There's ample storage for all your kitchen tools and gadgets, but so thoughtfully designed for the way you use a home. The great room is bright, provides built-ins, and is a wonderful gathering space for watching football or Friday-night movie nights. This home, though, also offers outdoor living and entertaining spaces. The wrap-around screened-in porch with skylights is a light-filled space for dining, enjoying a coffee or cocktail, or simply reading a book and watching the birds. And we cannot forget the patio, ideal for a grill. Let's venture upstairs, where we'll find a primary bedroom and bath with access to a roof deck overlooking the rear yard. The vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, and room for seating create a serene space. The primary bath also enjoys the vaulted ceilings, dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and water closet. The upper level is completed by three additional bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom with striking blue tiles in the walk-in shower, dual vanities in each of the upper-level bathrooms, and a separate laundry room with built-ins. The lower-level spaces beckon: an additional bedroom and bath for guests, a family room, and a recreation room, storage spaces, and an absolutely darling reading nook. There's something for everyone here, so don't miss this lovely residence with easy access to parks (e.g., Potomac Overlook Regional Park), schools, and commuter routes. This home provides the perfect backdrop to the story of your life.
