The house also has a front porch, a roof terrace, a rear deck, a patio/parking pad, and a partially-finished lower level.

Contemporized Mid-Century Modern

Courtesy of Arlington Modern, the mid-century modern vernacular of this Falls Church house has been contemporized.

A double-sided, rhombus-shaped fireplace is shared between the front living area and a secluded family room with triple exposure courtesy of contiguous near-floor-to-ceiling windows. A bedroom suite on the main level has skylights, a dressing room, and open access to a glass-enclosed bathroom with a walk-in spa shower.

A Former UT Find in Stanton Park

UrbanTurf first shared the history of this 19th century carriage-house-to-residential conversion in Stanton Park a few years ago, a property that was formerly used for horse-and-buggy repair. Now, the two-level interior includes radiant concrete floor heating on the main level, original exposed ceiling beams and skylights, and salvaged finishings like the handrails on the second floor landing and a set of closet doors by the entrance that once graced a garage near the convention center. The house also has a circular court/patio/parking pad at the entrance.

• Full Listing: 318 7th Street NE (map)
• Price: $1,365,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Three
• Square Feet: 2,010
• Year Built: 1930
• Listing Agents: Frank Snellings, Topher Cushman, Coldwell Banker Realty
