The First Weekend of Fall- A Busy Time for All of Us

Fall brings a lot of outdoor events here in the DC area. Because a DC fall is one of the best-kept secrets not often shared with the tourists: the weather is fine. Enjoy something outside this weekend.

The biggest Arlington event will take place on Saturday. Clarendon Day, a big ol’ street fair is open from noon–7pm. Lots of food, shopping, music and events for the kids. Fun for all.

Lyon Village0044

Enjoy the fair on Saturday, while on Sunday, visit me during my open house from 1pm to 4pm at 5928 Lomack Court in Alexandria City. The home sits on a wonderfully landscaped 1/2 acre lot. So you’ll still get to enjoy the outdoors. Sit by the waterfall and envision this as your next home.

Broker’s Open: Frank Lloyd Wright Inspired Living in The City of Alexandria, VA

Join me at my Broker’s Open on Tuesday, September 11, 2007 at 5928 Lomack Court, Alexandria, VA 22312.

Lomack 031Edwin Schnedl, AIA a well-known architect in Washington, D.C. & Northern Virginia, completely redesigned and rebuilt this home to make it more livable and energy efficient. Schnedl studied under Frank Lloyd Wright & was greatly influenced by his use of light, color & natural materials by setting of the house in its natural environment. The architect opened this home with large windows to permit serene and tranquil views of the rear yard; the interior is integrated with the exterior and thus making nature part of everyday life.

Mr. Schnedl’s Design Features:

Even More Home Features:

The Outdoor Space

Lomack 034 (2)A discussion of this home is not complete without exploring the outdoor space. As with any Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design, the surrounding environment is part of the enjoyment of living in this home.

Walk-out onto your deck from the master bedroom to the hot tub or step down to the seating area to listen to the waterfall. There are two pools of water, stone terracing, shade gardens, stone walkways, 2 Zen gardens and privacy screening. All of it treed with tall oaks, beech poplar & several maple trees. In the springtime you will enjoy the blooms of hundreds of daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, over 2 dozen azaleas, & several dogwoods & three Japanese maples. These features were designed and built by landscape designed David Van Scoyoc.

The Location

Lomack 0505928 Lomack Court is conveniently located on a corner 1/2 acre lot inside the beltway. It sits next to Holmes Run Park and bike trial- yet it is walkable to two shopping areas. There is easy access to I395. Centrally located to the Pentagon, Skyline, Shirlington, Landmark, Alexandria Hospital & National Airport.

Sunday’s Lyon Village Open House: 3175 N. 21st Street, Arlington, VA 22201

After my morning appointment yesterday, I visited a new Lyon Village listing having an open house. I was hoping it would be the next home for some clients who are out of town for the weekend. It is listed by another Long & Foster agent who has some of the best listings in the Lyon Village neighborhood, Ingrid Wooten.

3175 N. 21st Street: “French Country meets Colonial Williamsburg

Lyon Village0039Built in 1935, this home has seen Lyon Village grow from a pre-WWII development project concept to one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Arlington.

This home is an expanded cape cod from the outside and sits on top of the hill that overlooks Lee Highway. The current owners have lived in this house for 35 years, and you can feel the warmth of many good memories lived in this home. It falls into the category of “they don’t build them like this anymore” with its all-brick construction, wood siding exterior and mostly plaster walls.

The agent is marketing this home as “French country meets Colonial Williamsburg” because of the existing features and many antiques throughout the home.

Lyon Village0019Each room has it’s own unique features, from the bay window in the family room overlooking the wooded back yard and the county parkland to the third bedroom on the main level with it’s original crystal chandelier. The home holds character you would expect to find in Lyon Village. There are arched doorways, original & unique wood molding & trim, lighted built-in corner cabinets, six-panel doors, three fireplaces, beamed cathedral ceilings, three large bedrooms with great closet space and a garage.

Lyon Village0014It sits on 21st St. – one of my favorite blocks in Lyon Village. It is at the edge of the village making it very private with trees that are older than the homes they surround. The trees are such a big part of the neighborhood that it’s not unusual to hire a professional arborist to advise you on maintaining the trees on your property. Some of the trees are over 100 years old and stand well over 4 stories high.

I loved the flow of the floor plan. Every room on the main level connects except for the main level bedroom which is tucked away into the back of the home with it’s own bathroom.

This is a true Arlington home– where it’s treasure is in it’s age. These older homes in Lyon Village have maintained their charm because when they were built, they were considered higher-end living. And what was higher end in the 1930s & 1940s is expected today. But if you don’t like old homes, this place isn’t for you. If you appreciate the bones of an old home, this one deserves a look.

Lyon Village

Lyon Village0044This little patch of land in North Arlington is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Arlington. It is a perfect location between the Clarendon metro and Lee Highway with easy access to I66 & DC. Most of Arlington’s neighborhood originate as a result of the post-WWII growth that overtook this country when all our veterans returning from far away shores to settle down to start their families.

Lyon Village began in the 1920s before the war and wasn’t completed until after the war in the 1940s. It is not unusual to see a new listing that was last sold 35 years ago. This spring I sold a listing here that hadn’t been on the market for more than 35 years. The home was 70 years old and had two previous owners before my clients moved in.

If you’d like to see this home, I’ve hold it open next Sunday, 9/9/07. If you’d like to see it before that, contact me for an appointment.
