Expanded Craftsman Bungalow in Ballston – Just 3 Blocks to Metro Situated on a rare 9,750 square foot lot in the heart of Ballston, this expanded and renovated bungalow blends timeless charm with modern convenience. Rebuilt and expanded in 2003, the home offers over 3,600 square feet of finished living space across three levels, featuring a modern and flexible layout ideal for today’s lifestyle. A welcoming front porch leads into bright and spacious interiors highlighted by craftsman-style trim, rich hardwood floors, and classic details like the original wood-burning masonry fireplace in the living room. The main level includes formal living and dining rooms, an open-concept family room with a gas fireplace, and an updated kitchen appointed with cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. French doors open to a slate patio and an expansive backyard offering privacy and outdoor enjoyment. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, all with hardwood flooring and thoughtful storage throughout. The lower level adds valuable living space, featuring a fifth legal bedroom with an egress window and luxury vinyl plank flooring, a large 24' x 10' recreation room, an additional full bath, and an expansive utility and storage area. The home also offers exceptional parking with a detached two-car side-by-side garage plus a wide driveway that easily accommodates multiple vehicles—a rare feature in Ballston. Exterior highlights include Hardiplank siding, a beautifully maintained yard with natural privacy screening supported by a stainless steel root barrier, and a slate patio ideal for outdoor entertaining. Significant updates completed in 2024 include a dual-zone HVAC system with two new AC compressors and two new furnaces, as well as a new water heater, ensuring modern comfort and efficiency. The home has also been freshly painted on the interior as of June 2025, offering a crisp, move-in ready presentation. A security system, in-ground sprinkler system (AS IS), and abundant storage complete the package. All of this is located just three blocks from Ballston Metro, restaurants, shopping, parks, and top Arlington schools, making this spacious, well-maintained, and freshly updated home a true gem in one of North Arlington’s most desirable neighborhoods.
