Adjacent to parkland and surrounded by trees, the wide wrap-around porch on this charming century-old house allows for an easygoing country lifestyle, even in the heart of an urban area.

Built in 1911 in the Maywood neighborhood, this four-bedroom, two-bath house has been updated with modern amenities while still retaining many of its original architectural features, including built-in bookcases and beautiful heavy trim work. Maywood is the only whole neighborhood protected as a local historic district in Arlington and features some of the best-preserved houses in the county.

The house is located only a couple minutes away from the Lyon Village Shopping Center, I-66, and the George Washington Parkway. Located at 2737 23rd Road North, it is currently listed at $975,000. Click here for the listing.

On occasion, Preservation Arlington will highlight unique historic houses that are on the market in Arlington County. We hope to raise awareness of some of the true housing gems we have here. Some might be in great condition and just need to be maintained by their next owner, while others may need a steward with heart and passion to restore and stabilize the property.
