720 N Edison Street, Arlington, VA

This extraordinary Bluemont residence was thoughtfully transformed during an extensive 2006 renovation into the 4,000 SF 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home it is today. The result is a home that seamlessly blends timeless character of a 1940 Cape Cod with modern design, flexible living spaces, and exceptional functionality. The renovation added an open-riser staircase that fills the home with natural light, dramatically expanded the kitchen and upper level, increased the foyer ceiling height, and updated the home's major systems.

At the heart of the home is an expansive chef's kitchen designed for gathering, featuring maple cabinetry, granite countertops, an oversized island with prep sink, two dishwashers, abundant storage, and effortless flow into the oversized dining and living rooms accented by elegant crown molding. French doors open to the deck, creating the perfect connection between indoor and outdoor entertaining.

The upper level offers an incredibly rare layout with two bright expansive bedrooms, including an oversized primary marble bath complete with soaking tub and walk-in shower, a skylit landing with seating area, and a third bedroom with additional full hall bath.

The main level provides outstanding flexibility with a full bath and an adjacent room ideal as a main level bedroom or private home office.

Downstairs, a separate-entry apartment featuring its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, and full bath offers outstanding income-producing potential, an au pair suite, or comfortable multigenerational living. The apartment has enjoyed consistent tenancy for many years.

Outside, discover a private urban sanctuary. The fully fenced backyard is filled with mature landscaping and native plantings that attract birds and pollinators, while the oversized screened porch and deck create inviting spaces for relaxing, dining, and entertaining throughout the seasons. Rain barrels thoughtfully irrigate the gardens, reflecting the home's commitment to sustainable living.

Additional highlights include detached garage, energy-efficient Andersen windows, updated electrical throughout, a new Daikin HVAC system (2025) serving the lower level, a new water heater (2024), Sonos speaker system throughout and fresh neutral interior paint.
