1809 N Oakland St

Renovated colonial with a rare separate cottage nestled in the highly desirable Cherrydale! The main residence greets you with newly refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout the sunny open layout with great flow. The renovated gourmet kitchen boasts an expansive island with a second sink, new stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, dual oven, and new quartz counters. The stately family room features a wall of built-in bookshelves, lots of natural light, and direct access to the rear deck. The cozy living room offers a wood-burning fireplace and is adjacent to the formal dining room and discrete powder room. Follow the split staircase to the upper level where you’ll find the owner’s suite, which includes a walk-in closet with a custom Elfa storage system and a spa-like bath with a jetted tub and separate shower, along with two spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom. The lower level is completely finished with a separate full bath, perfect for an au pair/nanny suite or office and entertainment room space. Radiator heating and multi-zone air conditioning on all three floors. Looking off the back deck you'll find a flat back yard with a custom flagstone terrace with a built-in fire pit, a flourishing raised bed vegetable garden, and the separate two-story guest cottage offering even more living space, privacy, and versatility! The cottage has its own bedroom, full bathroom, and a murphy bed, offering endless possibilities from AirBnB to a home office or guest house, or even adding a kitchen as this unit is grandfathered under Arlington’s recent accessory dwelling unit policy. The fully fenced backyard offers exceptional outdoor space with lots of privacy. Fantastic location close to I-66, I-29, GW Parkway, all airports, bus routes and multiple metro stations. Three minute walk to the Custis Trail for biking to downtown DC, and the 3Y bus line straight into downtown DC. Wonderful quiet neighborhood. Walkable to amazing hikes like the Windy Run and Donaldson Run streams. No more than a handful of blocks from Safeway, playgrounds, soccer fields, local hardware store, yoga studio, and other shopping. Minutes to Ballston, Clarendon, Rosslyn and Washington DC. Arlington Science Focus/Dorothy Hamm/Washington-Liberty school district.
