You walk through this house and forget which side of the windows you’re on. Donald Lethbridge designed it that way in 1952. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A 1952 Lethbridge-designed mid-century modern in Dover Crystal. 6 beds, 6 baths, and it just hit the market at $2,899,000. ▫️ Dover Crystal sits in North Arlington, on a quiet cul-de-sac with no thru traffic. 0.57 acres backing to trees, which is double or triple what most Arlington lots come with at this price point. Sweeping views toward Rosslyn, downtown DC, and the National Cathedral from the main living areas, best when the leaves are down. ▫️ Lethbridge was an acclaimed mid-century modern architect in the DC area. The 1952 design features cantilevered overhangs engineered to welcome winter sunlight while shielding from the higher summer sun, walls of windows that dissolve the line between inside and out, and stone floors that flow from the interior into outdoor terraces. On a sunny day, most of the lights stay off! ▫️ The renovation: the current owners added a roof over what used to be the original exterior atrium, turning it into the heart of the house. The 1950s sliding doors are still in place, hidden steel beams open the spaces, and the original windows were replaced with high-performance insulated glass that kept the sightlines. ▫️ Schools are the Taylor / Dorothy Hamm / Yorktown cluster. One important note: this house is for sure not for everybody. Each room is its own distinct space rather than one continuous great room, and the kitchen is tucked off the main living areas the way 1950s design intended. If you want a 6,000 sqft new craftsman with everything open, this isn’t that. If you want a house where every material decision was deliberate, this is exactly that. 📍 Dover Crystal, North Arlington. Cul-de-sac, backs to trees, minutes to the Metro, the GW Parkway, and the Potomac. 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. ✨ Listed by Chris Owens + Jeff Wilson | TTR Sotheby’s International Realty #dovercrystal #midcenturymodern

There's a waterfront bar in Arlington you can pull up to by boat, bike, or car, and most people drive right past it on the way into DC 🌊 👉 Is there a restaurant in Arlington you want us to try? 💬 Drop your suggestions in the comments. Island Time Bar & Grill sits right on the Pentagon Lagoon at Columbia Island Marina. You're looking out at docked boats the whole time, there's live acoustic music on the weekends, and the whole thing feels a little like you left the city without actually leaving. Get the chicken tenders, and order the Grapefruit Crush. It might be the best one you'll ever have (still dreaming about it). We haven't gotten to the lobster rolls yet, but the reviews swear by them, so that's the plan next time. It's right on the Mount Vernon Trail too, so if you're out on a ride it's the perfect place to take a break and sit by the water! This is genuinely one of our favorite spots in Arlington, and we're already trying to figure out when we can get back. 📍 Island Time Bar & Grill at Columbia Island Marina - Arlington, VA Save this one for the first warm weekend, then tell us where we should go after 💛

A restored 1897 mansion in Arlington on land that's been continuously occupied for 300 years. Yes, you read that right. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we’ll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A restored 1897 plantation-style Colonial in Rock Spring. 6 beds, 6.5 baths, and after dropping $125K, this is now listed at $2,850,000. ▫️ Rock Spring sits in North Arlington with one light to DC and easy access to the GW Parkway and the Potomac. A quiet stretch of larger homes on bigger lots, though this one’s lot is on the smaller side (more on that below). ▫️ The land was first granted to the Robertson family by Lord Fairfax in 1724. The Weaver family of W.T. Weaver & Sons Hardware in Georgetown bought it in the 1880s and built the current home in 1897, holding it for 80 years (comment “Thursday” for the full listing). ▫️ Recently restored and expanded. New systems throughout, original 1897 leaded glass windows still in place. During the Union defense of Washington in 1861, the property’s original 1812 cabin briefly served as Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock’s field headquarters. ▫️ School cluster is the Jamestown / Williamsburg / Yorktown High School One important note: the lot itself is 0.262 acres, which is on the smaller side for a $2.85M Rock Spring property. The seller is offering buyers first dibs on a roughly 10,000 sqft adjacent lot at $1M, plus a $50K credit toward outbuildings or a garage. We’ve toured a lot of Arlington homes this year, and none of them came with a 1724 Lord Fairfax land grant attached to the property records. 📍 Rock Spring, North Arlington. One traffic light away from DC, minutes to the GW Parkway and the Potomac.

Hi!! We’re Leah and Blake. We started our careers here, got into real estate, started our family, walked the same Arlington loops a hundred times with a dog who is purely in it for the treats + trails, and somewhere along the way we became the couple that friends text when looking for the best Arlington, VA spots. This page is where all of that lives now. Three things worth grabbing while you’re here: 📍 If you’re new to the area or just want our actual list, follow us, then comment GUIDE. It’s the rundown we wish someone had handed us when we landed here. 📍 We partnered with a bunch of our favorite local spots to get you a discount. Follow us, then comment LOCAL and we’ll send you the link to join the Perks Club, free. 📍 And the part we don’t lead with: we run a real estate team too (The Davenport Group). If you’re house-hunting in Arlington and want a search built around what you actually need (not whatever the apps throw at you), follow us, then comment GET STARTED. You’ll see our two faces a lot around here, but there’s a whole team behind all of it, and we’d be lost without them. Can’t wait to share the best of Arlington, VA with you! 💛 Leah + Blake

Watching the DC fireworks from Arlington is one of those local moves you only figure out after one bad trip into the city on the 4th. The view from this side is better, and the drive home is too. 👉 Want more Arlington recommendations from a local? 💬 Follow us, then comment GUIDE and we'll send over our free Arlington Locals Guide! 📍 Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial) has an open lawn facing the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. Get there earlier than feels reasonable! 📍 Netherlands Carillon is right next door. The hilltop is slightly quieter and the view is the same. If the Marine Corps lawn is packed, walk over here instead. 📍 Gravelly Point is north of Reagan National Airport, right on the Potomac. Planes landing low overhead are an added thrill or a sensory overload (depending on your kids of course 😅). 📍 Air Force Memorial sits up on the hill near the Pentagon. The three soaring spires frame the fireworks, and it is usually less crowded than Iwo Jima. Parking is free but limited. The Navy Annex Bus Stop is a block west by transit. 📍 The cheat code is a friend with rooftop access in Rosslyn or a boat on the Potomac. If your building doesn't have a rooftop, perhaps befriend someone who does! Here are a few notes for whichever spot you pick: 🕰️ NPS has not officially announced a start time as of June 16th, 2026, although previous years would suggest fireworks may start around 9:00 PM. 🇺🇸 For the 250th birthday of the country, organizers are aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the largest fireworks show.Expect more than 30 minutes of pyrotechnics, nearly twice last year's length. 🚔 Expect heavier security. The July 4th celebration got a National Special Security Event designation, the highest possible level and a first for July 4. 🚆The Metro is free after 5 PM on the 4th 👉 Want more of our recommendations for things to do in Arlington VA? 💬 Follow us, then comment GUIDE and we'll send it over!

Most Rosslyn condos face directly into another building. This one faces south, has 9-foot ceilings, and you can see actual sky from the living room. 👉 Want all the listing details? 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we'll send the listing link straight to your DMs. A south-facing 2-bed, 2-bath at 1800 Wilson Blvd in Rosslyn. 1,047 sqft, 9-foot ceilings, and it just hit the market at $735,000. ▫️ 1800 Wilson Blvd is in the heart of Rosslyn, blocks from both Rosslyn and Courthouse Metro. South-facing means real light into the living room, not just into another building's facade across the way. ▫️ Inside: open floor plan, 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors running into both bedrooms. Center island kitchen with counter seating, granite counters, soft-close wood cabinetry. Custom Elfa closets in both bedrooms, walk-in in the primary. ▫️ Building amenities: attended front desk, fitness center, package room, bike storage, business center, courtyard with a fire pit. One parking space conveys, which matters more than it sounds in Rosslyn. ▫️ Outside the front door: Sfoglina, Maman Bakery, Compass Coffee, Tupelo Honey, and South Block. Target a few blocks west. Two Metro stations, the GW Parkway, and the bridge to Georgetown. One important note: 1,047 sqft is condo-tight. The 9-foot ceilings, open floor plan, and custom Elfa closets make it work harder than the number suggests. If you want a 3-bed family layout, this isn't it. If your wishlist is walkable to the Metro, light-filled, move-in ready, and a bridge ride from Georgetown, this is the one to bookmark. 📍 1800 Wilson Blvd, Rosslyn. Blocks from two Metros, the bridge to Georgetown, and the trails along the Potomac. 🏡 Open Houses: Sat Jun 13, 12-2pm Sun Jun 14, 2-4pm As always, our IG Stories got the first look 👀 💬 Follow us, then comment THURSDAY and we'll send the listing link straight to your DMs. ✨ Listed by Blake Davenport | The Davenport Group at TTR Sotheby's International Realty #tourthursday #arlingtonva #rosslyn #arlingtoncondos #davenportgroup
