This is the perfect family friendly corporate rental for assignments in and around our nation’s capital. From this fully furnished four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath craftsman in Arlington, located adjacent to the new Amazon HQ2. You can also reach the Pentagon in five minutes, the District of Columbia/US Capitol area in ten minutes (with just one stoplight!), as well as dozens of military bases and government-contracted firms.

The fortunes of Washington D.C. turn on our Federal Government, and locally there’s an economic mix that runs heavy toward public institutions and the private companies that support them. This includes the likes of Amazon, Fannie Mae, Danaher, Pepco Holdings, The Carlyle Group, WGL Holdings, Medstar, Noblis, Marriott International, Booz Allen Hamilton, Verizon, Mitre, Capital One, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, LLL, Deloitte, and Comcast. Naturally, the military is another mainstay, and Fort Myer, Fort McNair, Fort Belvoir, Quantico Marine Base, Mark Center, Army Center and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the George Bush Center for Intelligence are among the many bases and agencies easily reachable from this charming home. Business trips will be a breeze at just 1.3 miles from DCA-Reagan airport; but don’t worry about noise from passing planes – the flights aren’t allowed to pass over this neighborhood.

The shade trees and manicured lawns of the idyllic Aurora Highlands neighborhood plays host, and this home, rich in curb appeal, is no exception. This multi-level craftsman is professionally landscaped around a symmetrical design, plantation shutter equipped windows framing a covered porch. The entry opens onto a bright home, contemporary in design, featuring colorful patterns and furnishings lit by spotlights and pendants. Fine artwork and paintings throughout add to the luxury feel. Crown molded frames segment the various rooms under transom windows that add an elegant touch. Multiple sofas and chaises frame a gas log fireplace and face a large screen LCD TV in the vibrant living room. Hardwood floors lead you to a gourmet ready kitchen, a center island providing working space and in-kitchen seating, surrounded by a huge Wolf gas range, KitchenAid convection oven and microwave, and Subzero stainless steel refrigerator; there’s even a raised dishwasher for easy access. Adjoining the kitchen is a raised eight-seat pub style dining room table where those incredible meals can be enjoyed.

The four bedrooms are set to impress. The master suite encompasses the entire second floor, the king bedroom accompanied by a leather recliner and tartan sofa with leather ottoman, solid wood furniture over hardwood floors, a bed facing wall mounted LCD TV. There’s a coffee bar, a laundry room with full washer and dryer, and linen closet along with a walk-in closet. The master bath is appointed with a claw foot tub and spacious walk-in tiled shower. The entire home is fitted with a water softening system making showers a dream. There’s even an LCD TV here in the master bathroom. On the third floor there are two additional bedrooms sharing a full bath, one with a queen bed and the other fit out as a full office for your working convenience, including a solid-wood desk, credenza, file cabinet, and two book cases. Moving down, the fourth bedroom can be found on the basement level and has not one but two walk-in closets, an adjorning bath, and a queen bed. The basement also offers a full family room with sectional sofa and big screen TV along with a gaming/dining table.

The extravagance continues outside, where flagstone walkways lead you to a covered patio with a retractable SunSetter patio awning, which neighbors a patio table and pergola covered outdoor hot tub/spa. Other amenities in this amazing home include monthly housekeeping, water and trash pickup, basic cable and Wi-Fi, and an alarm system. Parking is off street for two to four cars.

If you’re not in the hot tub on the weekend, you can walk to the delicious restaurants on 23rd street or the Pentagon City Mall where more than 150 shops and restaurants will tempt you. There are tennis courts, soccer fields, softball parks, playgrounds, and public parks nearby all offering more outdoor fun. Grocery stores, farmers markets, and other conveniences are also very close at hand, and the metro station is just a nine-minute walk from which you can explore the rest of this beautiful capitol city.
