Property Description
Welcome to 2828 N. Van Buren, a one-of-a-kind residence in the heart of Arlington that blends historic charm with modern design & remarkable flexibility. Rebuilt in 2017, this extraordinary property was intentionally crafted as a multigenerational home, featuring both a Main House and a fully independent Auxiliary Dwelling Unit (ADU)—a rare find in Arlington. With its own Certificate of Occupancy, the ADU operates as a true home of its own, complete with a private entrance, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, heating and cooling, and a spacious bedroom suite. Perfect for grandparents, an au pair, extended family, a dedicated home office, or an income-producing rental, the ADU makes this property as versatile as it is beautiful. Set on a desirable corner lot, the house immediately impresses with its vintage double front doors, lovingly restored and painted a striking pomegranate red, and a winding, garden-flanked walkway that feels lifted from Alice in Wonderland. Inside, a welcoming vestibule separates the entrances to each home, offering privacy while keeping everyone connected under one roof. Nine-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, new furnace, plantation shutters, new carpet, new LVP floors, & fresh neutral paint throughout give every room a crisp, move-in ready appeal. The Main House features a gracious, sun-drenched living room, an elegant dining room with pocket doors and statement chandeliers, and a show-stopping chef’s kitchen with shaker cabinets, granite counters, hand-painted Portuguese tile, a five-burner Italian gas range with pot filler, & a central island with seating. French doors lead from the kitchen to a sunny deck and backyard, perfect for entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene retreat with hardwood floors, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath featuring a clawfoot tub, a walk-in shower with dual showerheads, double marble vanity, & a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed bath with dual vanities and a separate tub and shower room. The lower level provides even more flexible living with a bright family room, a bedroom/office with built-ins, a bonus room ideal for a gym or guest space, a large laundry room, & two massive storage rooms—ready to be customized to your needs. The Auxiliary Dwelling Unit is equally impressive, with its own welcoming foyer, living room with gas fireplace, French doors to a private deck, and a stylish kitchen w/ shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, modern lighting, & a striking tile backsplash behind the gas range. The bedroom suite includes a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with imported tile, glass-enclosed shower, & marble vanity. A second room w/ custom built-ins and pocket doors offers the perfect office, guest space, or reading nook, & a private laundry area completes this independent home. Outside, the landscaped yard bursts w/ charm, from hydrangeas and tiger lilies to apple trees and flowering shade trees. A fenced backyard w/ patio space provides both beauty and function, while the front porch—w/ its ceiling fans and timeless character—is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or evening wine. The one-car garage and long driveway provide plenty of parking. Beyond the property itself, the location is unbeatable. Nestled at the intersection of two quiet, tree-lined streets, this home is within walking distance of Tuckahoe Elementary, neighborhood parks, and the East Falls Church Metro, offering quick access to DC, Tysons, & Dulles. Farmers markets, highly rated restaurants, shops, and libraries are minutes away, making everyday life convenient & enjoyable. Featured in Arlington Magazine, Viva Tysons, and Home & Design for its unique design and thoughtful functionality, this home is as special as it is rare. If you’ve been searching for a property that combines timeless character, modern upgrades, & true flexibility for multigenerational living or rental potential, 2828 N. Van Buren is it!
