The Right Size Home Lives Large

This "right-size" home in Arlington's Lyon Park actually lives large. 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. The listing is also conveniently located near a number of popular spots including Texas Jacks BBQ, Ruthie's All-Day, and the Arlington Drafthouse.

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

The Shaw Rowhouse With Its Own Mural

Not every listing comes with a commissioned mural, but this Shaw four-bedroom rowhouse can claim that honor. The main level of the 8th Street listing has a living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room and chef's kitchen, as well as a separate family room and den in back. A private patio features a brick wall with the work of DC-based artist Anieken Udofia, and the entire third floor is devoted to the primary suite, an unusual amount of private space for a DC rowhouse.

• Full Listing: 1518 8th Street NW (map)
• Price: $1,699,999
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Square Feet: 2,778
• Listing Agent: Calvin Dretske, Compass
