Modern Elegance Meets Timeless Charm in the Heart of North Arlington
Welcome to 5204 20th Street N, where luxury, location, and lifestyle converge. Conveniently located in the midst of one of Arlington’s most coveted neighborhoods, this beautifully expanded and updated home has been well-maintained and continually improved over the years. It delivers a rare blend of refined living and everyday comfort in an unbeatable location.
With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, an extra large 2-car attached garage, and over 4,000 square feet (including garage) this home is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Curb appeal stuns with brick exterior and matching retaining wall, lovely flowering weeping cherry tree, a wide driveway with a welcoming front porch. Step inside to sun-drenched living spaces, gleaming hardwood floors, and a smartly designed layout that balances open-concept flow perfect for entertaining!
The heart of the home is a true gourmet kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a hammered copper farmhouse sink & touchless faucet, oversized quartz island, and custom cabinetry. A major main-level renovation was completed in 2020, bringing a fresh, modern feel to the heart of the home. In addition to the kitchen redesign, this renovation also added a modern gas fireplace and feature wall, refinished wood floors, custom Craftsman-style interior railings, new Hardie siding, PVC window trim, and maintenance-free composite decks. In 2023, for the most recent touch in the exterior renovation, the brick and retaining wall were professionally limewashed—a rare upgrade that strengthens and protects brick.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room—complete with a cozy gas fireplace—opens seamlessly to the professionally manicured backyard, where a flagstone patio and an in-ground basketball hoop invite you to relax, dine, or play. The home backs directly to Big Walnut Park, creating a private oasis for morning coffee, al fresco dinners, or impromptu soccer games just beyond your gate. Perfect for those snow days, Big Walnut is a hidden gem for sledding and winter fun as well!
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a serene retreat with a spa-inspired en-suite bath and a generous walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms, 2nd level laundry room, and a beautifully renovated hall bath (2023) round out the upper level—giving you plenty of space for family, guests, or a home office setup.
The finished lower level adds serious flexibility with a large rec room, full bath, kitchenette/bar area, guest bedroom and bathroom, with walk-out private entrance—perfect for a home gym, video gaming room, in-law suite, or weekend guests.
Ideally located just minutes from Virginia Hospital Center, Westover Village, Lee-Harrison Shopping Center, Ballston Quarter, top-rated schools, and major commuter routes, this home offers peace, privacy, and convenience—with exclusive backyard access to Big Walnut Park as the cherry on top.
