Property Description

Welcome to this expanded brick rambler in the desirable Rock Spring neighborhood (historically known as Crescent Hills) of North Arlington. Originally built in 1955 with a thoughtful addition completed in the late 1980s, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on one of the largest lots in the neighborhood—and the largest on the block—at 21,038 sq. ft. (nearly a half acre!) Lovingly cultivated by its longtime owners, the property has become a miniature farm-style retreat. Natural gardens and trademark wildflowers fill the grounds, attracting local wildlife including deer. A distinctive mural on the western wall depicts a rustic barn and cow, making this home truly one-of-a-kind and memorable. Inside, the home offers a solid and functional layout across two finished levels. The main floor features a spacious living room with a masonry fireplace and gas insert, an open dining area, and an eat-in kitchen that opens directly to a wood deck—perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Three bedrooms, including the primary suite, complete the upper level. The walk-out lower level adds a flex suite/den (not considered a legal 5th bedroom due to window size), a recreation room, full bath, laundry, and flexible utility/storage spaces. Recent improvement provides peace of mind: the roof was replaced in 2022 and is in good condition. While ready for cosmetic updates, the home’s sturdy structure and expansive footprint present an outstanding opportunity for renovation or future expansion. With a lot approaching half an acre, buyers can envision creating a dream residence with ample space for additions or outdoor amenities. This location combines privacy with convenience. The property backs to private organization providing both a buffer and the possibility of pool membership just steps away. Those with school-age children will appreciate the short distance to Discovery Elementary, Williamsburg Middle, and Yorktown High School, as well as shopping and dining at the Harrison Street Shops. Commuters enjoy easy access to East Falls Church Metro (2 miles), I-66, and major commuter routes. A rare offering of land (half acre!), character, and opportunity – this property is truly a standout in Rock Spring / Crescent Hills.
