Nestled in a dreamy Arlington neighborhood, this bungalow-style home is brimming with delightful details. Built in 1921, its five bedrooms, three baths, den, and sunroom are tinged with old-world charm, as original architectural elements remain on display. The home at 7005 Fairfax Dr. is full of personality and light that’ll draw you in and invite you to stay and enjoy the all the features that make it special.
As you step past the home’s lovely porch through the front door, to your right, you’ll find the living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace to keep you warm. This room features extensive woodwork that reminds you of yesteryear, and continues throughout the attached dining room.
Gleaming, refinished hardwood floors lead you from the living room to the dining room. This space offers room for extravagant dinners, gatherings with friends, or simple a quiet space to enjoy a meal while gazing through the large windows, which flood the room with natural light.
On the other side of the hall, you’ll find the den, which features a built-in bench.
With wraparound and skylight windows, the sunroom is perpetually bathed in daylight. Geometric tile flooring adds character, making the space playful. The room’s windows overlook the home’s yard and garden for a truly lovely view.
The kitchen features a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, and refrigerator. However, its crowned jewel is the high-end Heartland stove, which offers modern function while boasting a classic reproduction design. Paired with the blank-and-white checkered flooring, this space is filled with old-fashioned charm.
Hardwood flooring resumes in the main level bedroom, which is currently being used as the primary suite.
This custom walk-in closet connects to the main level bedroom, offering you a good bit of space to organize your clothes. There is also a main level bath with a claw-foot tub, pedestal sink, and penny tile flooring.
This renovated upstairs bathroom features a sink with a brass console stand, subway wall tiles, and penny tile flooring, as well as a toiletry closet for storage.
The basement has space for gaming, a playroom, or just hanging out. Here, you’ll also find the washer and dryer, and full bathroom.
Additions of furniture, a grill, a firepit, and more could turn this yard into a true oasis. Aside from its features and amenities, this Arlington bungalow is a short walk from the Metro.
This home, on the market for $1,150,000, has a pending contract. For additional homes, contact Robin Cale and Barbara Simon at McEnearney Associates.
