Cozy 2BR suite nestled in lower level of home

This newly remodeled downstairs suite with private walkout patio is the perfect getaway in Arlington. It is mere steps to surrounding trails and parks, walking/biking distance to fantastic shopping and dining, and minutes' commute to Washington DC and other destinations in the DC metro area.

Outdoors:
The walkout patio faces a tree-lined park where kids from 8 to 80 play baseball, soccer, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and more. The patio has a bistro table, chairs, and a firepit with plenty of firewood. You can enjoy that natural outdoor beauty year round, whether from the patio or from the living room or kitchenette through the large windows.

Tennis and pickleball courts are just steps away. A popular sliding hill and a historic farm house are just down the street. Walking/biking trails, a frisbee golf course, a historic train caboose, a skate park, the idyllic Four Mile Run creek, a beautiful rose garden, and more are all within short walking distance.

Indoors:
Inside the naturally lit suite you will find a cozy living room with fold-out sofa and in a whimsical touch, a hammock for napping or watching TV. The hammock is easily stowed when not in use. Next to the living space is a kitchenette with refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, induction cooktop, and high-end coffee and espresso maker.

The corner bedroom has a full dresser and queen bed, a second interior bedroom has a single bed, and the entry area has a brand new extra-large capacity washer and dryer. The bathroom features a refreshing shower and a hair dryer for convenience.

Getting around:
There is ample free parking on the neighborhood streets, a rarity in Arlington and DC. You can usually find a spot right in front of the property. If you want to ditch the car, the nearest Metro bus stop is about a 5-minute walk. After a 5-minute bus ride you're in the popular Ballston neighborhood, where you can dine, shop, take in a movie, and more. From there, catch a train at the Ballston Metro station for some sightseeing in DC and around town.

Wrapping up:
Whether your thing is sightseeing in DC, or enjoying the restaurants and clubs in Arlington, or strolling along trails surrounded by parks and natural beauty, or even just taking in all that beauty from the comfort of a sofa or hammock indoors, this guest suite is perfectly situated and offers the ideal getaway at the end of the day. We hope you'll enjoy your stay at our awesome urban oasis.

Notes:
* We have cats upstairs, but in case you are allergic, we have not let them downstairs since August 2025, when we started the downstairs remodeling.
* Little league games in the park behind us get an early start on weekends spring through fall. The sound of kids playing is a "happy noise" for us. But if that's not your thing or if you just want to sleep in, please feel free to use a complimentary pair of earplugs (a box of them is in the top drawer of the dresser).
