Style Notes
Sleek and stylish. This family home has beautiful designer fixtures and furnishings that can survive children. It is all recently painted throughout. The double height living space has a feature brickwork chimney wall and other lounge spaces include Acapulco chairs, leather sofas, fluffy poufs and interesting artwork. We love the photography on the walls, the ghost chair in the master bedroom study and the white walls throughout. It is all modern, fresh and fun.

History, heritage and parks
Part of the Greater Washington DC area, Arlington is just across the Potomac River from the Smithsonian Museums, The White House, The Capitol and all the other nationally important sights the city has to offer. Linked seamlessly by the metro system, it is an easy suburb to stay in, filled with families, retired service personnel and government officials. Play in Bluemont Park, where there is a play space shaped like a train, visit the Saturday Farmer’s Market for gelato and organic treats, and be sure to visit the Iwo Jima Memorial, with the Washington Monument in the background.
