Welcome to this charming, spacious, and classic 1940s Cape Cod home that boasts many features uncommon to homes in this centrally located Falls Church neighborhood. Enter from the large, tiled front porch that spans the entire front of the house into the living room with its beautiful hardwood floors, architecturally attractive bowed window, and gas burning fireplace. The hardwood floors flow into a separate dining room adjacent to the large eat-in kitchen that was added in 2016. This kitchen comes with lots of space for storage within its newer cabinets along with a five-burner gas range, stainless-steel appliances, tile flooring, and granite countertops. Meanwhile, the original galley kitchen—common among homes in the neighborhood—now functions as a huge pantry, where you can store loads of kitchen gadgets, canned goods, cleaning supplies, and more!

With hardwood floors in all bedrooms, this home has two bedrooms on the main level, along with a full bathroom, while the upper level includes a master suite with a bedroom, bathroom, and sitting room. The lower level includes a family room and a den that can serve as a fourth bedroom along with a large utility room, laundry area, half bathroom, and a door out to the backyard.

Among its many special other features, this home also has one of the largest lots in the neighborhood. You can relax on the recently added back patio with a view of grape vines that hang on the back pergola, adding both privacy and beauty to the property. The property also includes a second lot that runs along one side, adding 1,275 square feet to the property for a total of 10,424 square feet, so there’s lots of room for outdoor activities for family, friends, and pets. (Most lots in this neighborhood have less than 5,700 square feet.)

This Falls Church gem also has lots of other upgrades, including newer windows and exterior doors (2020); newer roof over the basement entrance (2021); newer roof and gutters (2021); newer patio (2021); newer washer (2021); recently refinished floors (main floor in 2016, upper level in 2021); newer shed (2022); and professionally maintained landscaping.

To top it off, the home’s superb location means the East-Falls Church Metro and downtown Falls Church City are within walking distance.
