Under Contract, but please still show* Welcome to Maywood, a historic and sought-after neighborhood in Arlington with walkability, bike trails, 2 neighborhood parks, frequent community events and more. Originally built in 1910, this American Foursquare was expanded with a four-level addition in 2007 by the renowned DWR Architects into a luxury home. Approximately 4800 square feet of timeless interior space includes six bedrooms, five full baths and one-half bath, spanning four thoughtfully finished levels. A classic façade and sweeping front porch welcome you to this beautifully landscaped private retreat with an array of interior and exterior entertainment space. The interior renovation offers high-end modern amenities while respecting the character of the original home with beautiful moldings throughout, gorgeous pine hardwood floors, handsome crafted built-ins, timeless tile details in all bathrooms and charming wood-burning fireplaces. This is a large home that retains an intimate feel. The main level features tall ceilings, a welcoming foyer, a front salon room with large picture windows that drench the room in sunlight, a separate formal dining room with a wood-burning fireplace and time-period built-ins. The heart of the home is a gorgeously renovated kitchen that opens to a spacious family room and cozy built-in banquet. The kitchen is outfitted with wall-to-wall custom-built cabinets, honed absolute black granite, a timeless backsplash, stainless steel appliances, expansive central island with a second beverage sink and bead board ceiling details. Another wood-burning fireplace place with a custom mantle anchors the family room, flanked by floor-to-ceilings built-ins and two built-in desks - perfect for working from home or young students doing homework. With access from the kitchen and family room, an expansive screened porch is a highlight of the home with space for dining and lounging. Located off the kitchen is a tucked away mudroom with custom cubbies, drawers and plenty of hooks. The first upper level contains four bedrooms, three full baths, laundry room, and an expansive primary suite featuring custom built-ins, an adjacent sitting area and luxurious bathroom with heated floors, double sinks and a walk-in closet. The second upper level features a large rec-room with two sky-lights, the fifth bedroom and a fourth full bath with oversized cast iron claw foot soaking tub. The lower level was thoughtfully designed as part of the 2007 renovation to provide an open and flexible space with a separate entrance, full kitchen, sixth bedroom, fifth full bath, and a second washer/dryer hook up. This space could be used for an au pair, home office, gym or a rental unit. A large storage area completes the lower level. This astonishing yet understated renovation earned a featured spread in Better Homes & Garden and garnered the esteemed renovation award from the historic community of Northern Virginia.
