Beautiful all-brick colonial home on the most beautiful street in Arlington - South Hudson Street. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has been lovingly upgraded by the owner-residents. They now offer their personal residence to the right tenants who are looking for a true "home" and not just another rental property.
Location, location, location - South Hudson Street is located 6 minutes or less by car from all the major bridges leading into downtown Washington or Georgetown (Key, Roosevelt, Memorial, 14th Street). Or - Metro bus route 10B picks you up on the corner and takes you to the Ballston Metro Station.
You're only a mile away from the Ballston/Clarendon corridor of shops, restaurants and entertainment and even closer to the rejuvenation of Columbia Pike. The Thomas Jefferson Community Center is merely 1 block away; you can join the full-featured gym (only $190/year!), and use the ballfields, tennis courts, 1/2 mile outdoor track, etc. for free. Less than 5 minutes to Pentagon City Mall, Pentagon Row, and Crystal City shops & dining.
This home is your quiet retreat from the hustle & bustle of daily life in the DC metro area. You'll come home to all hardwood floors - Australian cypress on the main level and oak upstairs. Crown molding in the living room and dining room, freshly custom painted rooms on both levels. All windows have been upgraded to select Pella aluminum-clad wood windows that tilt in for easy cleaning to take advantage of the generous natural light that pours in. There is dimmable recessed lighting, premium light fixtures and ceiling fans w/light kits throughout. Two-line phone jacks, tv cable jacks, surround-sound speaker jacks, and extra grounded, 3-prong outlets are in many rooms. Home is also wired for Verizon FIOS.
Your gourmet kitchen features stainless steel (ss) appliances include a gas stove with 4 precision control burners and a gas convection oven. The ss microwave over the stove complements the ss Samsung french door refrigerator with bottom freezer drawer. A new dishwasher is available to handle all the cleaning you don’t do in the deep bowl ss kitchen sink with premium faucet. Surrounding the appliances are custom built cabinets topped with gorgeous granite countertops. You'll also appreciate the crank-out casement window over the sink, allowing generous amounts of fresh air to pour in.
The full bath has been upgraded with a special-ordered vanity, sink-top, premium lighting, and faucet. We’ve also installed a fantastic light/fan/heater combination recently installed - the fan really keeps the entire room fog free while the heater is a *real* heater - no heat lamp here. The full ceramic tile surround and floor complete the room.
The master bedroom comes with separate closets - one for him, one for her! All upstairs rooms feature white 2" slat blinds covering the windows, along with available curtain rods waiting for your personal window treatments.
The entire attic is easily accessible via a pull down staircase and provides a great deal of storage space for those items you don't need on a regular basis.
The walk-up basement is a large, well-lit, open area the full dimension of the home's footprint. Here you'll find incredible space for storage, along with the king-size washer & matching king-sized gas dryer. A new custom steel exterior door with 1/2 height windows provides easy access to the back yard and the gate to the driveway.
You'll be able to enjoy the new gas fireplace in the living room, with full screen and glass doors. It has a remote control and thermostat for automatically adjusting the heat output.
The owner enjoyed many productive years working daily in the home office - with 3 walls of windows this year-round room enjoys all-day-long sunlight, Bali blinds, phone jack, data jack, and tv cable. The vaulted ceiling with recessed lighting creates a spacious, inviting room that can be used as an office, TV room, den, library, etc.
The fully fenced in backyard provides the private retreat you'll enjoy coming home to. The extra large deck is joined to the screened-in room with ceiling fan/light. Backyard landscaping includes ornamental juniper, holly trees, rose bushes, hostas, and much more.
The front and side yards feature an array of specially selected professional landscape specimens, including long-blooming azaleas, evergreen juniper shrubs and trees, and two beautiful river birch trees. The lawn will be maintained for you, as a regular lawn service is included in your rent.
NOTE - Interior is now painted a light gray and deck has been updated with Trex decking.
