Location! Location! Location!

Rent this lovely 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom Spanish-style bungalow in the sought-after Lyon Village neighborhood in Arlington, VA.  Located on a quiet residential street two blocks north of the Clarendon Metro station, it is easy walking distance to Clarendon's many restaurants, shops, and markets -- including Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. The house was completely renovated in 2009, and has many 'green' features and a high level of finishes throughout.  Highlights include:
  • approximately 2,600 square feet of living space
  • 5 bedrooms (3 upstairs, 2 on main level), including large master bedroom with built-in shelving, window seat, and walk-in closet
  • 3 bathrooms, including luxury master bath with steam shower, soaking tub, towel warmer and double sinks
  • laundry room upstairs
  • light-filled kitchen with 2 sinks, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast bar
  • open floor plan in family room, dining room and kitchen
  • ground-floor guest bedroom with en-suite bath
  • energy-efficient features to keep utility costs low and improve indoor air quality and temperature
  • hardwood floors throughout
  • natural light from skylight and solar tubes
  • central air conditioning, ceiling fans, and radiant floor heating
  • abundant storage space
The property has a detached 1-car garage with work area, a large front porch, and a private back yard with brick patio.  The neighborhood is extremely walkable and family-friendly, and has easy access to DC and Northern Virginia via Metro, I-66, GW Parkway, Lee Highway, and Route 50.

The house will be available November 1, 2015.  The owners are currently residing overseas and can provide the house either semi-furnished or unfurnished for an initial period of 6 months, with the potential to extend month-to-month beyond that.  The rent is $5,500 per month, plus gas and electricity.  The rental period and rent are negotiable.

This would be an ideal short-term rental for a family relocating to the DC area or undergoing a renovation.

There is a dedicated property manager based in Northern Virgina who can assist with any repairs or issues; and a local landscaping company comes 2-3 times a year to weed, prune, mulch, and tidy up the garden.
