Cozy S Arlington duplex on quiet, tree-lined street - but close to everything!

Won't you be our neighbor - at least for a little while? This sunny, cheerful, thoughtfully-appointed home has everything you need for a short visit or a long stay in Arlington, VA. This home comfortably sleeps four, but can accommodate a crib as well. We love well-behaved pets, but we charge an additional cleaning fee just to make sure any future guests with allergies feel welcome, too.

The first floor features a living room, dining room and fully-appointed kitchen with dishes, coffee maker, toaster, and all new appliances, including a convection range (there are convection-compatible pots and pans ready to use). There are two bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. The large bedroom includes a queen-sized bed, hand-made antique dresser and closet. The small bedroom includes a day-bed and a trundle with a floating desk, tall dresser and closet. Washer, dryer and storage is available in an unfinished basement.

The property features off-street parking, a small fenced side/back yard, and a large front yard with a tree house and play area. Our quiet, tree-lined neighborhood is diverse, affirming, and kid-friendly. But we're also right around the corner from bustling Columbia Pike, with walkable access to schools, playgrounds/parks, library, shops, restaurants and public transportation.

We are about a 20 minute walk from the National Foreign Affairs Training Center and Fort Myer. The Pentagon and Orange Line metro access is a 20 minute bike ride, and there is regular bus service from Columbia Pike to downtown DC.

The home is filled with family heirlooms and pieces collected by us, our friends and our family during various international adventures. We've tried to be as ethical and climate-friendly as possible in updating and furnishing the house - and we're especially excited about the solar panels that are able to supply most of the electricity you'll use!

Your hosts live in the neighborhood and are available to address any issues or questions as they arise, or just to loan a cup of sugar or give a restaurant recommendation. We are so excited to welcome you!
