Description

WELCOME HOME TO 1522 N BUCHANAN STREET in the sought-after Waycroft-Woodlawn neighborhood.

Welcome to this light-filled center-hall brick Colonial, beautifully positioned on a corner lot in the heart of North Arlington. Lovingly cared for by the same owners for more than 30 years, surrounded by mature, professionally designed landscaping —creating a private, colorful setting that changes beautifully with the seasons.

MAIN LEVEL
Step inside to a welcoming foyer with beautiful hardwood flooring and a convenient coat closet. To the left, through French doors, the front-to-back formal living room is filled with windows and anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace.

Just beyond is the screened porch. Surrounded by mature trees and bushes, it feels like a private nature escape and is the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading a book, or unwinding at the end of the day.
To the right of the foyer through French doors, the formal dining room features new lighting and flows naturally into the thoughtfully refreshed kitchen.

Kitchen highlights include:
• Brand-new stainless steel appliances
• Ample cabinetry, storage, and prep space
• Dedicated pantry
• New pendant lighting above the sink
• Adjoining eat-in nook or coffee bar with new lighting overlooks the back yard
• Direct access to the custom-designed driveway

The driveway is edged in Belgian block and accommodates two cars side-by-side, a rare and valuable convenience for a classic Arlington Colonial.

UPPER LEVEL
A generous landing welcomes you upstairs, where you’ll find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
The spacious primary bedroom is filled with natural light and features a charming window seat. The ensuite primary bath offers a standing shower with vintage tile and an art deco glass door, along with a new mirror and updated fixtures and lighting.
Two additional well-sized bedrooms offer ample closet space and share a spacious hall bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

BONUS UPPER LEVEL
Continue upstairs to the converted attic—a wonderful large bonus space with windows offering flexibility as your needs change.
• Home office
• Playroom
• Creative or hobby space
• Additional lounge/living area
• Carpeted with updated lighting

LOWER LEVEL
The finished lower level adds even more usable living space. The recreation room is surprisingly bright thanks to multiple windows and is complemented by a half bathroom.
You’ll also find a separate workshop and utility/laundry room with new flooring, providing plenty of space for projects, storage, and everyday functionality.

OUTDOOR LIVING
The grounds at 1522 N Buchanan are truly something special. More than 30 years of care have created a professionally landscaped setting filled with mature trees, established shrubs and plantings that bloom throughout much of the year.
The landscape includes hollies, azaleas, crape myrtles, and a rare black walnut tree. A fenced backyard with flower-covered arbor access provides additional privacy, while the screened porch allows you to enjoy the setting throughout the seasons.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Woodlawn Park is just one block down the street, offering a stream, playground, and playing fields. Add in the convenience of North Arlington living, nearby shopping, dining, parks, commuter routes and 15-minute walk to Ballston Metro, and you have a home that offers both a peaceful neighborhood setting and incredible accessibility.

Freshly painted and with new lighting throughout, 1522 N Buchanan has been thoughtfully cared for and updated while maintaining the character that makes a classic Colonial so special. Welcome home!
