The moment you step onto the flagstone walkway, this home feels welcoming. Set beneath a beautiful magnolia tree in Falls Church’s Greenway Downs neighborhood, this classic 1953 brick Cape Cod has been updated over time with care while preserving the character that makes it feel special. Inside, natural light fills the home, highlighting the hardwood floors and large windows. The main level offers an easy, connected flow, with a dining room that opens naturally to the kitchen and a warm living room centered around the fireplace. The layout works well for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level also includes a bedroom and a fully renovated full bath with a thermostatic shower, offering flexibility for guests, a home office, or convenient first-floor living. The kitchen blends classic style with modern function, featuring refreshed cabinetry and countertops along with new appliances: a 2026 induction range, refrigerator, and vent hood, plus a 2022 dishwasher. Just off the kitchen, the rear deck overlooks a fully fenced backyard designed for relaxing and gathering. Landscaping and tree work completed in 2022 helped shape the outdoor space, and a paver patio and flagstone fire pit added in 2025 extend the home’s living area outdoors. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a renovated bathroom completed in 2025, with custom tilework and a cast iron soaking tub that gives the space a calm, comfortable feel. Both bedrooms look out over mature trees in the backyard, creating a quiet, tucked-away feel on the upper level. The lower level adds flexible finished space for a recreation room, workout area, or additional lounge, along with a separate laundry and storage area with durable unfinished utility space. Updates include a 2021 washer replacement, 2026 electric dryer replacement, and new carpet installed in 2026 in the finished area. Behind the scenes, the home has been meaningfully improved over time. Updates include a new furnace (2022), conversion to grounded outlets (2025), tankless water heater (2026), whole-house water filtration system (2026), updated shutoff valves, professionally cleaned ductwork following renovation work, and exterior door replacements completed in 2021. Greenway Downs is known for its tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, and neighborhood traditions like Front Porch Fridays, Spring Fling, and Fall Fest that bring neighbors together throughout the year. Residents enjoy a highly convenient Falls Church location with easy access to parks, trails, commuter routes, the Mosaic District, Tysons, Arlington, and Washington, D.C. This is a home that has been cared for in a steady, thoughtful way. The updates preserve its original character while making it more comfortable and easy to live in today.
