Property Description
Rare opportunity in the beloved Arlington Forest neighborhood - a 1950 brick rambler on a 6,098 sq ft lot that backs directly to trees and parkland with a stream on the property. Buy the house or the land - either way, this is an exceptional opportunity in one of Arlington County's most established and desirable communities. Whether you're an investor, developer, or a buyer ready to renovate, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath single-level home offers solid potential and an unbeatable natural setting. The single-level layout features a traditional floor plan, wood-burning fireplace, double-pane windows, and a fenced rear yard. No HOA, and served by highly rated Arlington County Public Schools including Wakefield High School (rated A-). With land values continuing to rise in Barcroft, the lot alone makes a compelling case for the price. Sold strictly as-is. Major rehab needed. Enter at your own risk. All offers must include the AS-IS clause.
