Arlington, VA 22201

Tucked along one of Lyon Park’s quiet, tree-lined streets, this architect-designed residence pairs the warmth and character of a truly custom home with the walkability and convenience that make North Arlington so sought after. Designed by David Neumann of Neumann Lewis Buchanan Architects and built by BCN in 2017, the home offers four bedrooms, four full and two half baths, flexible, right-sized living spaces, private off-street parking, and a location within one mile of Clarendon Metro.

Inside, the home is defined by generous ceiling heights, oversized windows, hardwood floors and extensive custom millwork, creating spaces that feel refined without sacrificing comfort and generous without feeling uninviting. The main level includes a dedicated home office with built-ins, a light-filled sunroom, and a main-level bedroom with full bath — a valuable option for guests, multigenerational living or an additional work-from-home space.

At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen combines custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances with an easy connection to the family and dining areas. The layout is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with generous workspace, abundant storage and a natural flow between the home’s primary gathering spaces.

Sliding glass doors open to the rear porch and landscaped outdoor areas, extending the living space outdoors and creating an inviting setting for dining, relaxing or entertaining. An additional outdoor connection is found in the mudroom, conveniently located off the kitchen and opening to the side yard through a spacious covered porch. It is just one example of how thoughtfully everyday functionality has been considered. Within the mudroom, built-in storage, a dog wash and sink provide a practical landing zone for busy and active households.

Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spacious bedroom, spa-inspired bath and generous walk-in closets. An adjoining sitting room offers flexibility for a home workspace, studio or even a nursery. Additional bedrooms are well proportioned, each with an ensuite bath.

The finished lower level expands the home’s versatility further, with space for recreation, media, fitness, laundry and more.

What sets this home apart is the balance it strikes: substantial without feeling oversized, polished without feeling formal, and custom without sacrificing livability. The architecture was thoughtfully designed to create defined yet connected spaces, abundant natural light and a comfortable residential scale that is increasingly difficult to find in Arlington’s luxury market.

The property also includes private off-street driveway parking, adding meaningful everyday convenience without compromising the home’s established neighborhood setting.

Ideally located in the heart of Lyon Park, the home offers easy access to Clarendon, Ballston, neighborhood parks, restaurants, shopping, Metro and major commuter routes into Washington, DC.

Find yourself at home in one of Arlington’s most established and walkable neighborhoods.
