About this property

Decks! Park Setting! Very close-in N.Arlington. 4 Bdrm, 3+2 Baths, 2 Kitchens!

CLOSE-IN CONVENIENCE, CLASSY BUT COMFORTABLY CASUAL.

Big decks and lots of windows overlooking park woodlands, Donaldson Run creek, and a hiking/biking path that follows the creek down to the Potomac River. Loads of living space. SLEEPS UP TO FOUR COUPLES in 4 big bedrooms (a K suite, a Q suite, plus two Qs that share a bath). 2 half-baths. Laundries upstairs and downstairs. WiFi and Internet.

3 levels on a steeply sloping site. The main level (street level) contains the main kitchen, dining, and living areas, foyer and half-bath. The Primary Suite is upstairs along with two other bedrooms that share a bath, and a laundry. The Secondary Suite is downstairs (ground level) along with a rec area and half bath.

UPSTAIRS are:
Three bedrooms and two baths --- including:
🙂a SUPER DELUXE King PRIMARY SUITE which boasts an en-suite coffee bar (expresso/cappuccino or Kuerig coffee units, microwave, mini-frig, sink, etc) so you can sip your cafe' while taking in the view from either its private balcony deck or its comfy seating area. Or you can linger in the comfy king bed with "treehouse" views through huge windows overlooking the woods! Its en-suite master bath boasts a deep soaking spa bubble tub (another option for doing your 'sipping'), a separate "rain shower", separate his/her vanities, heated floor and overhead heat lamps! Are you dressing for a big event?? There’s a large plenty of room for hanging clothes and storing luggage in the walk-in closet, a full-length mirror, and a separate jewelry vanity area!
🙂two spacious Queen bedrooms that share a full bath.
🙂a laundry (washer/dryer/ ironing) off the hall.
All bedrooms have ample closet space, large windows, a comfortable chair, and a work desk.

On the MAIN LEVEL are:
🙂Two spacious living/dining areas, one at each end of the house, which each contain a comfortable seating area and a dining area. Each also has a bay window(s) and full-glass patio doors opening onto the large back deck that spans the entire length of the house (seating area, dining area, BBQ grill) high above the ground.
🙂An oversized kitchen equipped with a five burner gas range, double oven, double sink, double garbage disposals, double-door ref/fzr with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave. There's loads of cabinet space and ample granite countertops, including peninsula seating that provides a visual boundary for the kitchen work areas while allowing full view from the kitchen to the family seating area/fireplace, dining bay, and beyond. Hardwood floors throughout.
🙂a half-bath between the kitchen and foyer
These three living areas are comfortably designed/decorated and arranged in a casual open floor plan ---- lots of natural light and fantastic "flow" between the rooms and the outdoor deck.

DOWNSTAIRS are:
🙂a large Queen SECONDARY SUITE with seating area and en-suite bath (whirlpool tub) and washer/dryer.
🙂a kitchen (full-size ref/fzr with ice maker, double sink, garbage disposal, microwave, and apartment-size stove/oven); and

All three areas boast large full-glass sliding doors that open onto a covered patio for outdoor dining and seating.

PARKING:
The house is located on 26th Road North, at its cul-de-sac end, with only one neighboring house (two sides face the parkland. See GoogleEarth). There’s a single attached garage and lots of unrestricted street parking (free).

NEARBY:
This close-in NORTH ARLINGTON location (less than 5 miles from the Washington Monument) allows you to avoid the traffic! Capital Hill, the Smithsonians, Georgetown, Old Town Alexandria, Crystal City, the Pentagon, Washington National Airport (DCA), and other sought after destinations. All are within an easy and beautiful drive along the GW Parkway (or bike route). Ballston, Clarendon, Courthouse, and Roslyn stations are conveniently close for catching the Metro (less than 3mi, about $10 by Uber) for shopping and for dining. Marymount University, the Washington Golf & Country Club, and the banks of the Potomac River are a pleasant walk along the bike path behind the house.

Walk to Marymount University on the beautiful creekside path through the wooded park right behind the backyard gate! Or head the other way to where the creek tumbled into the majestic Potomac River! The path is part of Arlington County's renowned bike path network, so whether you're a serious or recreational biker there are plenty of destinations within reach.

Relaxing and beautiful
This is an excellent property. The home is in a quiet neighborhood right on a cul de sac. Mature trees eveywhere and mostly what you hear is birdsong and the occasional airplane. The interior of the home was extremely well put together, very clean, and very cozy. We use the fireplace every day and sat around and talked and talked. Out in the back, there is a trail that tracks along a creek. It is just beautiful. In terms of convenience, we were able to get downtown within about 10 minutes. Groceries were very close. It placed us near to just about everything we needed to do in DC. We communicated with the owners a few times and their responses were very quick and polite.

Relaxing Stay in Arlington
The house was spacious, clean and inviting. The hostess responded quickly to my question. All ages enjoyed the property. There was a game room, outdoors were near a walking path and we even baked in the kitchen as everything was there. I have stayed in several VRBO's and this was the easiest to deal with and set up really nicely. I would go again.

Spacious, great for families
Great house with plenty of room to spread out for our family. Spacious layout was as described, with well-equipped kitchen. Kids enjoyed the game room. We enjoyed walking on the trail right behind the house (easy access down many stairs to the back yard gate). The only issue we experienced was at check-in, which I truly think was an honest mistake of the owners, who were traveling out of the country and lost track of the time change. They forgot to send us check-in info and were unreachable the entire afternoon and early evening of our arrival. We were eventually able to make contact with them and relieved to finally check into the house, just much later than expected. No prior reviews mentioned any issues with communication and the owners were very apologetic about the time change mistake, so I consider this a one-off event. Other than that experience, I highly recommend the house and would happily stay again if we are visiting in the DC/Arlington area again.

Thanksgiving Family Reunion
This large spacious and well appointed home was perfect for our family get together. A large dining room was perfect to seat ten or more. The views from the kitchen dining area and master bedroom were beautiful as the fall colors were still present along the hiking trail which borders the home. House is on a quiet cul de sac which was great. Beds were very comfortable ! Will definitely consider this lovely home for the future.

Outstanding!!!
We invited our family to Washington, DC for a reunion. The house was excellent including the kitchen (we cooked in for 8 people every night), the bedrooms and bathrooms and location is wonderful. We had a great time and the host was very responsive. We would definitely stay there again.
