What This House Offers
A rare offering in the heart of North Arlington—where timeless architecture, private estate living, and unmatched convenience converge.***Perched atop a... serene, tree-lined hill on approximately one acre, this distinguished brick and stone manor residence dating to the 1930s and 40s, has been masterfully reimagined for modern living while preserving its original character and craftsmanship. This is not simply a home—it is a statement property, seldom available for lease.***Beyond a striking stone portico and custom wrought-iron entry doors, the home unfolds into a series of grand yet inviting living spaces defined by elevated ceilings, rich oak hardwood floors, artisan plaster walls, and intricate custom millwork. Multiple fireplaces—both gas and wood-burning—anchor the home with warmth and elegance, while radiant heat, dual-zone air conditioning, and solid concrete subfloors provide exceptional comfort and quiet throughout.***The main level is designed for both refined entertaining and everyday living. A gracious formal living room, sophisticated paneled library, and an expansive dining room capable of hosting multiple guests create an atmosphere of understated luxury. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features granite surfaces, cabinetry in a two-tone palette, stainless steel appliances, and a butler’s pantry, seamlessly connecting to the dining room and a light-filled, window-wrapped sunroom overlooking the private grounds perfect for that morning coffee or evening cocktail. A discreet bar area and cedar-lined closets further enhance both function and charm.***Upstairs, a sculptural wrought-iron staircase leads to light-filled bedrooms and bathrooms appointed with marble, mosaic, and curated materials, offering a timeless appeal. A newly added HVAC system ensures modern comfort in the primary wing. The partially finished attic loft provides a versatile, climate-controlled space ideal for an office, studio, or home gym.***The lower level offers a private, fully equipped guest or au pair suite with its own entrance, fireplace, kitchenette, and bath—perfect for extended stays or flexible living arrangements. If the lower level is not required, monthly rent can be reduced to $10,000 per month, and the owners will retain the space for storage.***Outdoors, the estate-like grounds offer a rare sense of seclusion within minutes of urban convenience. Mature trees, expansive green space, and thoughtful privacy elements create a peaceful sanctuary. A two-car attached garage and additional parking court accommodate both residents and guests with ease.***Ideally situated, the home offers effortless access and walkability to top-tier schools, parks, boutique shopping, dining, and Metro transit, as well as a quick drive to the major regional airports—delivering a lifestyle that is as connected as it is private. This is a rare opportunity to lease a home of true distinction—where historic elegance meets modern refinement in one of Arlington’s most coveted settings.***APPLICATION: ***Tenant is responsible for all utilities and general maintenance ($150 repair deductible); tenant is also responsible for basic lawncare, gutter cleaning, and leaf removal from an approved provider. Monthly cleaning service of 4 hours including kitchen and bathrooms is included with the lease.
