About This Home

A unique opportunity to rent an absolutely charming and recently updated furnished duplex in one of Arlington’s most convenient neighborhoods! This beautifully restored historic WW2-era home is built on the highest point in Arlington county, which was a Civil War artillery battery emplacement (Fort Barnard). Backing up to green space, the special property provides privacy and feels like a treehouse! The lovingly updated 2 bed / 2 full bath home has been completely renovated with an eat-in kitchen and modern bathrooms. With original hardwoods throughout the main living areas, and in-floor electric heat in all tiled floor spaces, this home is full of character and high-quality details. All rooms have new, dedicated mini-split HVAC systems providing both air conditioning and a secondary heat source for maximum comfort. Primary heat is from restored vintage radiators and supplied by gas at a significantly reduced expense. The new water heater is on-demand, meaning unlimited hot water for showers. Also features all new appliances, new roof and new HVAC within the last 2-3 years. Moreover, it comes furnished with tasteful decor including 2 queen beds, dressers, desk, living room couch, tv, side tables and bookshelves, and is well-appointed with other necessities: towels, glass and dinnerware, cookware, coffee maker and more! The backyard boasts a private patio with a grill and a mix of mature trees and new landscaping. Regular lawncare and yard maintenance included in monthly rental price so you don’t have to lift a finger! Just unpack your bags and enjoy!
