805 S Adams St

Welcome to this charming center-hall French colonial, freshly painted with new hardwood floors throughout. A delightfully landscaped front yard with fountain leads to the custom front door with oval-shaped leaded glass insert, flanked by shutters. The main living areas are on either side as you enter, with chair rail and crown moldings and a brick fireplace with mantle and glass doors. The center hall leads past a powder room to an updated kitchen, with silestone counters, honey maple cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. You'll enjoy entertaining in the adjacent formal dining room. The laundry/mud room has two exits -- one with a set of French doors leading to a fully fenced yard  with storage shed -- and a full bath. The great room is the heart of the main level and could be a fifth bedroom, with a wood-burning fireplace, built-in shelving, ceiling fan, and ceramic tile floor. Perfect as an in-law or au pair suite. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two full baths, and built-in shelving at either end of the hallway. A balcony, a la the French Quarter, runs along the entire front of the upper level, with exits from the main and secondary bedrooms. Take in the peaceful arial view of the front yard and fountain/birdbath. Centrally located in the Penrose neighborhood of Arlington, this home's owners have easy access to various retail and restaurants, as well as 395, and is on several bus routes for an easy ride into DC.
