Modern sophistication meets timeless charm in the heart of Lyon Village. With its refined aesthetic and warm, inviting presence, this exceptional Lyon Village residence seamlessly blends contemporary design with classic Arts & Crafts architecture. Nestled on an expansive, quarter-acre+ lot that backs to wooded parkland, the home offers a rare sense of serenity and privacy — all just 0.6 miles from the Clarendon Metro and the vibrant urban offerings of Arlington’s most coveted neighborhood. A comprehensive renovation and expansion in 2021–2022 brought transformative updates, including a new roof, all-new systems and windows, a stylish upper level dormer addition, white oak flooring on the main level, a whole-house generator, and a dramatic reimagining of both the façade and interiors to reflect a contemporary sensibility. Step inside to discover over 1,800 square feet on the main level alone, with expansive, light-filled living spaces ideally suited for both elegant entertaining and effortless daily living. A southeastern front exposure bathes the formal living and dining rooms, as well as office, in natural light, complemented by blinds allowing full or filtered light, and an original striking fireplace and built-in display shelving. The office provides a quiet workspace, while the rear family room impresses with soaring beamed ceilings, a second fireplace, custom built-ins, a striking bar with horizontal tiling, and a wall of windows overlooking the lush backyard and parkland beyond. The chef’s kitchen is a striking interplay of black and white tones, anchored by a waterfall peninsula with seating and storage, perfect for casual dining or hosting. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Thermador cooktop, hood, wall oven and microwave; a Bosch dishwasher; and a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator drawer. Floating shelves, a spacious pantry, pot rack, and clever cabinetry complete this thoughtfully designed culinary space. A main-level bedroom with vaulted ceiling also enjoys expansive views of the rear yard. A full bath on the level offers flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a curved staircase leads to a charming landing and sitting area. Two oversized bedrooms share a full bath, each with walk-in closets and roman shades designed by Dan Kugler. One bedroom enjoys the expanded dormer with standing seam metal roof and oversized windows framing views of the treetops and backyard. The finished lower level offers even more flexibility with a spacious recreation room featuring a third fireplace, a fourth bedroom currently outfitted as a home gym, access to the attached garage, and a large laundry room with built-in shelving. Ample storage and utility space ensure both convenience and functionality. Outdoor living is truly unparalleled: over 2,000 square feet of terraces and decking overlook and surround a heated saltwater pool with tiered waterfall, a cozy firepit, grilling area, concrete ping pong table, a large table next to the grilling area and adjacent a lovely Hinoki Cypress for seasonal dining, and a tiered vegetable garden primed for summer harvests. The lushly landscaped front and rear planting beds, designed by a landscape architect, include a sea of peonies, hydrangea and other seasonal highlights, as well as perennial grapes, fig tree and asparagus! These exterior spaces were designed with the same attention to detail and livability as the home’s interiors. All of this is located just two blocks from Lyon Village Park—with its playground, splash park, tennis and basketball courts—and a short stroll to Clarendon’s shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. A private sanctuary with unbeatable urban access, this rare offering in sought-after Lyon Village is a true retreat in the heart of it all.
