A $74,000 Premium For The Right Size Home

Dubbed the "right-size" home, this four-bedroom in Arlington's Lyon Park attracted a lot of attention and recently closed for about $75,000 above its list price. With a home office, guest room, powder room on the main level, separate laundry, and a screened-in porch, there is hardly a square foot of wasted space. A 2015 kitchen renovation by architect Sarah Vakkur anchors a light-flooded family and dining room addition defined by a dramatic wall of windows that spills out onto a lush backyard with a patio and fire pit. 

• Full Listing: 15 North Irving Street (map)
• List Price: $1.22 million 
• Sales Price: $1.294 million 
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1951
• Listing Agent: Natalie Roy, KW Metro Center

Outside, a large entertaining deck overlooks a landscaped backyard with mature trees, manicured garden beds, and a stone pathway.
