Little Falls Rd for rent in Arlington, VA
Singularly-sensational Manor home in N. Arlington on a large lot with mature trees atop a neighborhood hill. Once through the stone portico into the foyer, the downstairs offers an enormous formal living room with a grand wood-burning fireplace, a paneled library with a gas fireplace, a formal dining room (that can host a 12 person table) with a gas fireplace , an eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry, and an elevated sun-room with natural light entering from all four sides. There is a wet bar area between the library and the formal living room. Walk up the curved wrought-iron, spiral staircase to spacious, sun-lit bedrooms with custom closets and custom built-ins. About 7000 sq feet over 4 levels (both ground level basement and attic are conditioned and partially-finished), hosted on an acre! Hallmark landscaping includes two 150 yr-old oak trees.

The ground floor includes an additional 1.5 bathrooms, a kitchenette, and a private walk-out from the stone garden room. This space has proven delightful and convenient for aupairs or long-stay relatives. Kitchen in cool blue/grey tone cabinets and designer hardware has granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, with a European hood for the stove. Off the kitchen is a back patio, above the 2-car garage. Wrought-iron detailing on all exterior doors, which are each custom designed and built. The house is a stunner and in a prime location -- walking distance to multiple parks and highly-rated elementary, middle, and high schools. Each of the schools is less than a 5 min walk. Walk just a bit more to grocery stores, coffee shops, and East Falls Church Metro. Easy reach to both DCA and IAD. Lot is unusually-private for N. Arlington. (There about 25 residential lots in all of Arlington of this size.) There is no comparable to this home - it is gracious, spacious, private, and hyper convenient. It offers all the charm of not being a cookie-cutter new build and yet with the room-breadth of a modern build. This is available for the summer of 2024 - JUNE 15. Min lease is 18 months. Possible to be rented partially-furnished. Back yard has privacy fence. Parking is a two-car, attached garage and a hardscape parking pad which accommodate 3 more vehicles. Due to allergies, pets are not allowed. Attic is partially-finished with cooling/heat in an office area that has built-in bookcases and space for exercise equipment. Also, amazing "hilltop" views of the neighborhood. Realtors - thanks for your interest. If a buyer is motivated, we would consider an offer in the high $3M. Sharing this now to avoid an onslaught of calls. (Please don't call and ask to list it.) While we are imperfect beings and need help - this home does not. There are no other lots of this size lot in our neighborhood, no homes of this era that are this size. The house and surrounds are maintained and spectacular - this is the elusive dream of a fully-operational, all systems updated HOME with a graceful soul. The next stewards - if they are ready now, they will approach. The previous owners owned it for about 40 years - we are closing in on 2 decades ourselves. Have a great day!
