Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in Dominion Hills, this charming 1951 brick-and-frame home offers the feel of a small neighborhood retreat with the convenience of urban living. Surrounded by parks, trails, and excellent schools, it's an ideal home for families who value comfort and convenience. Inside, the home blends original 1950s character with thoughtful updates. Downstairs, a fully finished basement doubles the listed square footage and provides flexible bonus space that can be used as a family room, playroom, home office, home gym, or guest area. The main bathroom keeps its vintage yellow-and-black 1950s motif and will be refreshed in summer 2026 with new tile flooring, a new toilet, and a new vanity, preserving the retro charm while adding modern comfort. By the time you move in, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds. Outside is one of the home's standout features. Located on a cul-de-sac off a dead-end street, the house sits in a low-traffic pocket where kids can safely ride bikes, play in the street, and explore with neighbors. It truly feels like a 1980s kids haven providing an outdoor-centered childhood that's increasingly hard to find. The front yard is intentionally low maintenance, with a small grassy area that's easy to keep mowed. A manual push mower is provided. Annual mulching and monthly bed maintenance from spring through fall are included, so the landscaping stays tidy without demanding your weekends. In autumn, leaves can simply be blown into a pile at the cul-de-sac for county collection, or pushed to the back of the yard. The backyard itself has a natural feel, and it's not unusual to look out the window and see a family of deer making themselves at home. Dominion Hills is surrounded by some of Arlington's best parks and trails. Just a short walk away, Dominion Hills Park offers a lively playground and green space. Bon Air Park and Rose Garden feature 24 acres of beautifully maintained gardens, with more than a hundred varieties of roses, azaleas, and ornamental trees. It's a stunning place for walks and picnics. From Bon Air, you can hop directly onto the Washington & Old Dominion Trail or the Four Mile Run Trail, giving you access to the full 16-mile Arlington Loop. It's easy to go for a long ride, a morning run, or a relaxed family bike trip over to Westover for a cappuccino, gelato, or a slice of pizza. Within a short drive or a pleasant walk, you'll also find Upton Hill Regional Park, with its water park, mini golf, climbing features, and batting cages. Nearby Powhatan Springs Skate Park is a beautifully renovated, award-winning facility that draws skaters of all ages. And when you're in the mood for shopping, dining, or a night out, Ballston Quarter is just over a mile away with restaurants, retail, and entertainment options. For commuting, the location is extremely practical. East Falls Church and Ballston-MU Metro stations (both on the Orange and Silver lines) are only a couple of miles away, making Metro a realistic daily option. A nearby Metrobus stop on Wilson Boulevard offers a simple bus-to-Metro connection, and there's a well-established transit route to the Pentagon. The home is currently occupied, so showings will begin in July 2026, with move-in available on August 1, 2026. It's a classic, lived-in-and-loved house with real character, generous usable space, and a setting that encourages both outdoor adventure and easy urban living. It's a rare find so close to the city. Renter is responsible for all utilities at the house, but the setup is straightforward and typical for Arlington single-family homes. Water, sewer, and trash service are billed through Arlington County. After you move in, you'll open an account in your name and receive combined bills for water, sewer, and refuse. Trash, recycling, and yard waste are all picked up at the curb on Tuesday mornings. You'll also want to register your vehicles with Arlington County once you're settled. Active-duty military are exempt from personal property (vehicle) tax, but they do need to submit the appropriate documentation to the County to receive that exemption. Street parking in this neighborhood is covered by Arlington's Residential Parking Permit system (Zone 12). Each car will need a valid permit sticker during restricted hours, and you can also get short-term visitor passes for guests. This helps keep on-street parking available for residents and their visitors. Electricity is provided by Dominion Energy. You'll open a new service account in your name starting from your move-in date and will be billed monthly based on usage. Natural gas service is through Washington Gas, which covers things like heating, hot water, and possibly cooking, depending on the appliances in place. You'll set up that account separately, and those bills will also come directly to you.
