Nestled in the sought-after Donaldson Run neighborhood, this beautifully renovated 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home blends timeless character with modern comfort. Originally built in 1951 and extensively renovated in 2015, the residence retains its classic charm while offering thoughtfully updated living spaces throughout. Rich hardwood floors, crown molding, and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The gourmet kitchen features upgraded countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a bright breakfast area, while the separate dining room is ideal for entertaining. The elegant formal living room features a wood-burning fireplace, and the spacious family room provides a comfortable setting for everyday living. A 5th bedroom/home office completes the main floor. The luxurious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. Generously sized additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family or guests. A fully finished, daylight basement expands the living space with a bar, beverage fridge, uniquely located dry wine storage, additional storage, and room for recreation, media, work, or guests, plus convenient garage access. Outside, enjoy a screened porch, spacious deck, beautifully landscaped grounds, stone driveway, and side-entry, 2-car garage. Ideally located for an active and connected lifestyle, the home is located on the same street with Donaldson Run Pool, Potomac Overlook Regional Park, and Marcey Road Park, with easy access to trails, nature, tennis/basketball courts, playground, and other recreation opportunities. Located within the highly regarded Taylor Elementary, Dorothy Hamm Middle, and Yorktown High School pyramid, and less than 10 miles from the airport with convenient access to public transportation, this exceptional home offers the perfect combination of neighborhood tranquility, recreation, excellent schools, and everyday accessibility.
Donaldson Run, located between Lee Highway and the Potomac River, is a residential and park-laced Arlington neighborhood with wooded stream valleys and curving, low-traffic streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lee Highway corridor near N Harrison Street, where small storefronts and longtime local eateries set a casual, walk-up-and-go rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ramblers, brick Colonials, and thoughtfully updated single-family homes on leafy lots. Donaldson Run Park and its creekside trails shape daily routines with shade, birdsong, and footbridges. Cherry Hill Park adds open lawns and a tucked-away, neighborhood-scale feel. For local staples, Lebanese Taverna, Arrowine & Cheese, and the Arlington Players anchor nearby evenings with food, bottles, and stage lights.
