Sun-Filled Home in Leafy North Arlington Neighborhood.

Description

Our fully furnished, cozy family home is available for several months while we are in Australia. An escape from the noise and crowds of downtown, yet just minutes away from more than 6 universities, the World Bank and IMF, and numerous think tanks and foundations. 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Washington area. Features a newly renovated kitchen with all stainless steel appliances. One bedroom doubles as a home office with ultra high-speed, wired internet connections and ample desk space. The neighborhood is less than a mile from Chain Bridge and 10 minutes' drive to Georgetown, Rosslyn, the Mall, the nightlife of Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan, and virtually every other tourist site or activity in the nation's capitol. The house is a short drive, even in rush hour, to AU, GW, Georgetown, Catholic, Galludet, George Mason's law school and walking distance to Marymount. It's located within the in-demand Jamestown Elementary School and Yorktown High School districts. Despite being so close to downtown, it's in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood where you hear nothing but crickets chirping at night. The house is just minutes walk from 2 nature trails that lead to the Potomac River, with beautiful views of one of the most undeveloped urban rivers in the world. Potomac Overlook Park and Gulf Branch Nature Center are a short walk away, with tennis courts, basketball courts, a pool, campfires and nature programs. A network of running and cycling trails is also nearby, with the opportunity cover dozens of miles alongside the Potomac to Mount Vernon, along the historic C&O canal in DC, or out into the Virginia countryside. If you're feeling less athletic, the house is wired for Verizon FIOS high speed internet. There's a barbecue in back with a yard surrounded by dogwoods, ivy and friendly neighbors. The nearest metro stops are roughly 2 1/2 miles away...Ballston, Virginia Square and Clarendon (all on the Orange Line)...but there's a bus stop at the nearest intersection just 5 houses away that's served by Metrobus and Arlington Transport. The buses go to both Ballston and Rosslyn. The garage is occupied, but there is room for an additional car in the driveway, and plenty of available on-street parking.
