Is this the best front porch in Arlington? Welcome to this charming and thoughtfully updated home nestled in Ashton Heights, one of Arlington's most beloved neighborhoods. Blending timeless character with modern improvements, this home offers exceptional functionality today while maintaining its original warmth and character. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the restored front porch—the perfect spot for a porch swing, morning coffee, or evening conversations with neighbors. Step inside to discover beautiful hardwood floors throughout and a floor plan that lives large. The main level features a welcoming living room with new gas fireplace, a dedicated home office, a main-level bedroom with full bath - ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or flexible work-from-home needs.
The heart of the home is the beautifully appointed kitchen featuring locally sourced Virginia soapstone countertops, touch-activated faucets, a generous dining area, and an open flow into the warm and inviting family room with custom cabinetry, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs, you'll find a huge primary suite with separate tub and shower, ample closets, and a spacious primary bathroom. Two additional comfortable bedrooms, along with the convenience of an upstairs washer and dryer, make daily routines effortless. Downstairs, you will find a large basement for all your storage and workshop needs.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard and flagstone patio offer endless possibilities, with plenty of room for pets, play, gardening, outdoor dining, and gatherings with family and friends. A new roof (2026), fresh exterior improvements, and off-street parking add both convenience and peace of mind. The detached shed also offers exciting potential as a garage, workshop, studio, or future income-producing opportunity (buyer to verify).
The extensive list of recent improvements means the hard work has already been done, including the new roof, a complete interior repaint, renovated front porch and safety railings, recessed lighting, upgraded electrical panel, renovated first- and second-floor bathrooms, and newly insulated crawlspace.
Beyond the property itself, the location is exceptional. Tucked into a friendly, walkable neighborhood, you'll enjoy being just one street away from the beloved Jackson Street Halloween festivities while remaining only a five-minute walk to Clarendon Metro, acclaimed restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, parks, and all of the world-class amenities that make Clarendon one of Northern Virginia's most sought-after communities.

This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home filled with character, thoughtful updates, exceptional outdoor space, and exciting long-term potential, all in an unbeatable Arlington location.
