Open House Sat and Sun 2p-4p. Sited beautifully in the coveted Old Glebe neighborhood, 3824 Military Road is a Gruver Cooley custom home that fully embraces its nearly two-thirds acre setting—offering a rare combination of presence, privacy, and accessibility just half a mile from the George Washington Memorial Parkway. The main level is where this home truly shines, designed with both elegance and livability in mind. A classic center hall foyer welcomes you with a graceful staircase, flanked by well-proportioned living and dining rooms that create a sense of symmetry and intention. From there, the home unfolds into a series of interconnected spaces ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The living room transitions seamlessly into a charming sunroom with its own fireplace—an inviting retreat that opens to a covered porch, extending the living space outdoors. At the heart of the home, the family room makes a striking impression with its floor-to-ceiling windows and dramatic stone fireplace. Flooded with natural light, this space is designed to gather, with French doors that open directly to the flagstone patio and expansive backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that defines the main level experience. The family room flows effortlessly into a spacious breakfast area and a bright, outward-facing kitchen. Anchored by a center island, the kitchen is thoughtfully oriented to capture views of the landscaped backyard and is appointed with high-end appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Thermador cooktop. Whether hosting or enjoying a quiet morning, the entire rear of the home is designed to maximize light, views, and access to the outdoors. Throughout the main level, thoughtful details add both function and character—custom built-ins, a dedicated office with tailored cabinetry, a convenient laundry room, and a flexible ensuite bedroom ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Dual staircases enhance flow and accessibility, while integrated storage keeps everything effortlessly organized. The backyard is a standout feature—private, expansive, and beautifully landscaped to create a true outdoor retreat. Mature plantings frame the space, offering a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare in this close-in location. The flagstone patio serves as a natural extension of the home, perfect for dining, entertaining, or relaxing, and is complemented by elegant stone sitting walls and substantial retaining walls with integrated steps leading to the upper yard. The upper level of the backyard offers exceptional versatility, with ample space for a future pool, playset, or additional outdoor living features. The thoughtful terracing not only enhances usability but also adds architectural interest to the landscape design, making the outdoor space as intentional as the interior. Together, the main level and backyard create a cohesive living experience—one that balances openness with comfort and makes the most of both the home’s layout and its remarkable setting. Upstairs, the home offers five additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with dual closets and a well-appointed ensuite bath. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while two others are served by a hall bathroom. The lower level provides additional flexibility with a game and media area, play space, and abundant unfinished storage ideal for hobbies or future expansion. Completing the property are two separate garages and an unbeatable location within the Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Jamestown school pyramid. Just moments from Gulf Branch Nature Center, scenic trails, and the Potomac River, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both natural beauty and everyday convenience in one of Arlington’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
