Quality built in 2006, this stately home is well sited on one of the prettiest streets in the Tara neighborhood. A wide lawn leads to the front porch, and there’s a welcoming foyer with a traditional living room to the left and dining room to the right. The butler’s pantry opens to a kitchen, which will delight those with a newfound interest in cooking and baking. The adjoining breakfast room flows into the family room featuring a stone, wood-burning fireplace, coffered ceiling, and French doors opening to a deck and the flat yard.

A large bonus room offers many uses for dual offices, distance-learning or Zoom calls. A second large powder room next to it could be converted to a full bathroom. Connect it to the room for an inviting in-law suite or spot for aging in place.


Arlington’s family-owned-and-operated Indian restaurant Delhi Dhaba is donating a percentage of all its proceeds to Save Indian Farmers, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping farmers in India.

“According to India’s National Crime Records Bureau since 1994, a farmer commits suicide every 41 minutes,” cites the organization’s website.

Reality TV, just like 2020, is a train wreck — but we can’t stop watching. The TLC blockbuster show “90 Day Fiancé” is no different. Even Laura and Doran are highly invested in the cast of characters. (James is too busy watching “Wolf Hall” reruns. — Ed.) But how much of this reality TV show is actually real?


This classic 1940s colonial is in an ideal spot — close to Westover Village, the bike trail to Ballston and on to D.C. The home has been buffed and polished for the market with fresh paint, a groomed yard and thoughtful updates. The kitchen was opened up to the dining room and renovated in 2015 with creamy white cabinets, granite tops and stainless appliances. A year later, the basement bathroom was renovated, and the powder room has just been redone.

Whether working from home, engaging in hybrid or distance learning, or commuting occasionally to work, this home offers space for today’s needs. The living room with wood-burning fireplace adjoins the family room with windows on three sides — a sunny space for office or school work. A door from the kitchen opens to the patio-level deck and the private fenced rear yard. Wood floors continue from the living room and dining room to the bedroom level.
