970 N LONGFELLOW STREET, ARLINGTON, VA 22205

$925,000

Every once in a while, you come across a life-changing home. Tucked beneath a leafy canopy in Dominion Hills, this classic Arlington Colonial delivers exactly the feeling you've been searching for: warmth, character, and the quiet confidence of a home that's been beautifully cared for from top to bottom. It's… Read More the kind of place that feels familiar the second you step inside - like your future memories are already waiting for you. From the street, it charms with timeless curb appeal - black shutters against pale siding, stately brickwork, and tidy landscaping that feels both friendly and private. But it's inside where this home really starts telling its story. Step through the front door and the living room wraps you up with its cozy fireplace, crown molding, and sunlight softening through windowpanes. There's space here to sprawl on the couch, share a movie night, or just watch the seasons change outside. The kitchen is equal parts smart and stylish, fully renovated in 2012 with rich cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless appliances that handle everything from weeknight rush to holiday hosting. It opens into a thoughtful dining nook and a window over the sink that brings in just enough morning light to make your coffee taste better. This home lives larger than its 1,500 finished square feet, thanks to a smart layout that includes multiple living areas and full-height ceilings on both levels. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer quiet refuge, while the bathroom balances classic finishes with modern touches. The lower level extends the home's flexibility with a rec room, home office potential, and extra storage - all without feeling like a basement. But it's the upgrades that really give you peace of mind. The furnace was replaced in 2012. A new hot water heater followed in 2018, windows in 2019, and a brand new A/C in 2023. Every big-ticket item? Handled. Even the backyard has been thoughtfully updated, with a full privacy fence added in 2017 that frames the outdoor space like a secret garden. Whether you're planting tomatoes or letting the dog race around while you sip something cold, this yard is a genuine retreat. Beyond the house itself, Dominion Hills gives you that elusive combo: the neighborhood feel you want, with the connectivity you need. Tree-lined streets wind past mid-century homes and pocket parks, while trails, bakeries, and coffee stops are all a quick bike or drive away. Commuting is simple, but coming home is the real win. Metro just seconds away. There's a calm here, a sense that life slows down just a little when you pull into the driveway. And whether you've seen 9 homes or 90, this might be the one that finally feels like yours. Read Less
