Conveniently located between Westover Village and the Lee-Harrison Center, this 1925 home brings a bit of history with it. It was originally the “kitchen house” for the larger Hall’s Hill farm house which adjoins it. The home was recently expanded and renovated and now offers the modern amenities that were the stuff of dreams for 1920s kitchen workers.

Enter the home through a sweeping front lawn graced by mature trees and shrubs to a foyer with bench and coat closet.  This leads to the expansive living room with a wood burning fireplace, built-ins and space for a desk and several seating areas. The large kitchen features crisp white cabinets, granite tops, stainless appliances and a breakfast area set in a bay window. Adjoining the kitchen is a dining area with seating area for family and guest to catch up with the sociable cook.


When John Ball received a 166 acre land grant from Lord Fairfax in 1742, he may not have  imagined that his land bordering Four Mile Run would lead to the Ballston community that now bears his name.

Nor could he have imagined that the fruit, vegetables and livestock that he and his wife, Elizabeth, grew on their farm in the Glencarlyn neighborhood would now be readily available at Ballston’s Harris-Teeter grocery store or in the many nearby restaurants and cafes. What John Ball could not imagine is available to the new owner of this two or three bedroom, three level townhouse on a quiet street in the heart of Ballston.


According to the Consumer Federation of America’s annual Consumer Complaints Report, the Home Improvement/Construction industry had the second highest number of complaints of all consumer industries in 2017-2019.

The most common complaints cited: “Shoddy work, failure to start or complete the job, failure to have required licensing or registration.” Additionally, the industry also ranked first for the “worst” complaints according to the surveys, meaning “…the dollar amount involved, the impact on vulnerable consumers, or the sheer outrageousness of the situation.”
