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.

Step inside this lovely 3-story townhouse and immediately feel at home! Nestled away in Arlington’s Windgate II neighborhood, surrounded by manicured landscaping offering a park-like setting, yet close and convenient to everything!

Be greeted by warm hardwood flooring as you pass through the foyer and enter the bright and updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a built-in pantry and direct sightlines to the entire main level. Pull up stools and dine at the breakfast bar or enjoy a meal in the separate yet connected dining room. The dining room leads to a relaxed living room accompanied by a brick wood-burning fireplace and French doors to the outside deck, with plenty of space for your herb garden and seating to enjoy the great outdoors.

This renovated Craftsman is a rarity. The landscaping is one of kind. A wide foyer flanked with windows makes a perfect entrance. The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining.

The hardwood floors give a warm comforting feel. The front living room with a fireplace leads to the dining space. The gourmet kitchen with stainless steel Bosch appliances, granite countertop and stool seating space is inviting for chats and cooking. The family room with window wall and sliding door to deck is a perfect setting. The front hall also leads to a half bath and then to the primary bedroom suite.
