An Arlington craftsman is turning 100 years old and is celebrating by finding a new, loving owner. Built in 1925, 3406 3rd Street North, presented by Natalie Roy of KW Metro Center, is currently listed for $1,390,000. Situated in the heart of Ashton Heights, this is a rare opportunity for new life to be brought into a historic gem.

When this stately home first hit the market a century ago, The Washington Star classified advertisement read, “Price $7,950, with easy terms, and will include Essex touring car until Monday.” According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ inflation calculator, the original asking price is equivalent to about $147,500 today (and that price includes a snazzy vehicle, too).

This home’s history didn’t end there. In 1987, the property was expanded and updated by Arlington architect T.W. Wallace, who won a prestigious award for the renovation.

Being sold as-is, the five-bedroom property has a mix of updated systems with original characteristics. The main floors are the original early 20th century hardwood, while the appliances have been brought into the 21st. This home is meant for an owner to make it their own, while pulling inspiration from its sturdy and unique bones.

There are a few homes for sale celebrating their centennial in Arlington:

In an area saturated with new developments, there is a desire amongst many for reminders of yesteryear. Do you live in a home with some super rad, old-school features, or believe there is a property in your neighborhood that deserves historic designation? I would love to hear about it and possibly feature in the future! Please email [email protected].

Spring is in full swing and the countdown to pool season has officially begun. ARLnow readers voted on their favorite swimming spots across Arlington, and whether you’re dreaming of strolling to your neighborhood pool or lounging in your own private oasis, I’ve rounded up some great real estate options to help you live your best summer life.

Important tip: Many of Arlington’s private community pools have multi-year waitlists (yes, years), and some even use lottery systems for new memberships — so living nearby doesn’t always mean instant access. But it does mean you’ll be first in line when your name finally comes up!

Sears home: Listed for sale for the first time in nearly 80 years

This recurring real estate feature is sponsored by The Eli Residential Team. Their mission is to guide, educate, and advocate for their clients through real advice, hands-on support, and personalized service. This week’s post is written by Carolanne Korolowicz.

In an area so transient, it is almost hard to believe that one Arlington couple called a single Maywood house “home” for almost 80 years.

2114 N. Oakland Street, presented by Nancy Murphy, Weichert, has hit the market for the first time since the original owner’s purchased, what was then ‘new construction’, in 1932.

Nestled behind beloved Cherrydale Hardware, this Clifton Model Sears home was once described ‘as practical and up to date as it is beautiful and unique’ by the 1930s Sears Roebuck and Company catalog. The bungalow still features oak floors, arched doorways, original kitchen cabinetry and five-foot tall craftsman style windows — all things difficult to order off our modern catalog, Amazon! The home’s element I appreciate the most is the owners’ obvious care that they placed into their lifelong abode.

Houses often trade hands over decades, or meet their end: a bulldozer, but like 2114 N. Oakland, there are plenty of homes that have currently hit the Arlington market for the first time in generations.

One thing these properties all feature — a charm only found in a well-loved home.

In a world of Real Estate Tik-Tok tours, “Giant White Houses”, and muted paint colors, it is refreshing to see homes that are noticeably lived in. That’s the main point of owning a home, right? A place to gather your family and friends, make your own and let memories build up its foundation.

But, it is often difficult for people to see where they “fit” amongst decades of design choices and outdated fixtures. So, I challenge buyers to see it as “what can I add?” to make this house my home, rather than “what do I need to strip of its past?” I find the exercise far less daunting, and a lot more fun.

If you are currently struggling to find homes that you see yourself living in, especially within your budget, let’s chat. A creative eye and smart approach can make any house a dream one — even for 80 years!
