This stately Country Club Hills home sits on a 0.4-acre lot surrounded by mature trees and tranquil private spaces. It is steeped in history but lovingly maintained and improved over the years to allow for gracious living. >>> Originally built in 1937, the exquisite stone and whitewashed brick colonial was awarded a Silver Star for Design and offers over 4, 000 square feet of living space, blending gracious entertaining areas with warm, comfortable living. Just a half block from the Washington Golf and Country Club, the property boasts a historic American Elm with an expansive canopy (winner of the 2010 Arlington Notable Tree Award) in the front and extensive rear grounds ideal for afternoons of barbecues and sports (soccer, badminton, volleyball and croquet) or just plain relaxing or gardening in absolute privacy. It even served at one time as the Country Club Hills preschool. >>> Inside, a beautiful formal dining room with intricate wallpaper and handcrafted molding opens to a warm, eat-in kitchen with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and other high-end appliances, island, and access to a screened porch and stone patio—perfect for gatherings or quiet reflection. The main level features an expansive sunlit living room with original mantel and gas fireplace, a charming library/office with bay window and custom built-ins, and a large family room with access to the gardens. >>> Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms and three full baths, including a serene primary suite with built-ins, window seat overlooking the backyard, and ensuite bath. A finished third level is perfect for cozy sleepovers or as a playroom or "teen suite." >>> The lower level offers a large recreation room, bonus gym or office, laundry with cabinetry and sink, a half bath and walk-out access to the backyard and detached garage. Above the garage, a private suite with full bath serves perfectly as guest or au pair quarter or as a separate office for the WFH owner. With a circular drive, ample parking, and proximity to Georgetown, downtown DC, Reagan Airport, and fine dining, this timeless residence offers the perfect blend of historic charm with modern comfort in one of Arlington’s most coveted neighborhoods.
