Resale of the week: Three-level contemporary in Arlington

The Lee Heights neighborhood of Arlington offers its residents several advantages: an area with bike paths, parks and plenty of shops; a location within minutes of downtown Washington and Georgetown; and a diverse mix of home styles.

The home at 2414 Vermont St. N. in Arlington, on the market for $1,099,000, has been redesigned and upgraded by the owners to allow for easy entertaining and family life indoors and out.

Built in 1954, this contemporary-style home features a distinctive stone and stucco exterior with oversized windows. The home is nearly surrounded by tall trees and professional landscaping.

Like many homes in Lee Heights, this home rests on a steeply sloped lot that provides extra privacy and more expansive views. The homeowners recently enhanced the lot with an asphalt driveway and parking pad, with a set of stone steps rising along one side. The home also has a detached one-car garage with a patio on the top.

Enjoying the outdoors is simple at this home, which has two flagstone patios at the front of the house. Slate walkways wrap around the house on either side, linking these two patios with a newly built flagstone patio at the back of the home.

The rear patio has plenty of space for a grill and has a built-in wood-burning fireplace with an adjacent space for storing wood. Slate steps lead from this patio to a brick patio seating area under the trees. On one side of the home is a built-in sandbox.

The owners upgraded the home’s interior as well, enhancing all three levels of living space. The main level, which has formal entertaining spaces as well as a study, has an open floor plan. The foyer has hardwood flooring, while the living room and dining room have travertine flooring.

The living room has a marble fireplace with a wood mantel and an oversized front window facing one of the front terraces. While the living room has a contemporary, open layout, touches such as crown and chair-rail molding add classic details. The living room, which has enough space for entertaining on a grand scale, opens to the dining room, which has a chandelier and tall windows on two sides.

Pocket doors with etched-glass inserts link the dining room with the study, which has crown and chair-rail molding. The main level also has a powder room and a large storage and laundry room with built-in shelving.

Hardwood stairs lead to the upper level, where in the back of the house is an open kitchen, breakfast area and family room with hardwood flooring, five skylights, a sloping ceiling, and floor-to-ceiling windows on two walls. A sliding glass door links the breakfast area with the back patio.
