This house makes it possible for you to live the easy life amidst all the complexities and busy-ness of work and family life. Situated in the Lyon Park neighborhood, you are a 4 block stroll to Clarendon Square with the metro, popular neighborhood restaurants, nightlife, and retail including Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.  The neighborhood is served by top notch North Arlington schools including Long Branch Elementary, Thomas Jefferson Middle School, and Washington-Lee High School.  The house is in immaculate, move-in ready condition, replete with high-end finishes and tons (literally) of storage space.
