So much potential comes with this 1937 Brick Cape Cod home with a long driveway, detached garage and fenced rear yard in Glencarlyn Community. The front stoop entrance archway is one of the many charming yesteryear features found in this home. Archways, hardwood floors, and a woodburning fireplace on the main level will intrigue the buyer with an interest in preservation, remodeling, or renovation. Or, move right in and have your handyman complete a punch list of repairs. The more adventurous buyer may imagine a rear and/or upper-level addition now or in the future. Also, custom builders looking to showcase new construction will be attracted to this 6000 square foot lot. Glencarlyn Community has its own Arlington County Public Library Glencarlyn Branch, a Community Garden, the historic Ball-Sellers House (believed to be the oldest building in Arlington-built in 1742), and Carlin Hall Community Center built in 1892, as well as, the W&OD Bike Trail, the lush forest of Glencarlyn Park with picnic areas, a nature center, dog park, a community newsletter, fun events like Food Truck Fridays, BBQs, Glencarlyn Days Celebration, Spring Door Décor Contest, and a Facebook Page. All of this is ideally located off of Route 50 at Carlin Springs Road, easy access to DC - corner bus stop, 2.4 miles to Ballston Metro, the Pentagon, shopping, restaurants, schools, sports, and nature.
