Property Description
The distinctive stone front is just the first touch of vintage charm at 3538 Gordon Street — where original glass doorknobs, gleaming oak floors, and natural (unpainted) wood doors, trim and wainscoting tell you this is no cookie-cutter house. The newer family room addition in back is full of light and gazes onto a surprisingly large .38-acre oasis of serenity between Falls Church and Shirlington.
******************************************************************************************************
The classic wood storm door and front door lead you into the living room with a wood-burning fireplace, wood wainscoting and original stained-glass sconces. Off the living room is a first-floor bedroom with three walls of windows. This room has a whopping 11 windows, plus a glass door to the deck. Beneath the windows are built-in wood shelves . This room could also be a fantastic home office. Upstairs offers two bedrooms and an original bathroom.
******************************************************************************************************
The house has been updated with new HVAC in 2023, a new water heater in 2022, and a new roof in 2021. The kitchen cabinets were professionally refinished about eight years ago, and the kitchen appliances are about 10 years old and protected by a home warranty. The family room and first-floor bathroom were added in 2003; the upstairs bathroom is original.
******************************************************************************************************
The old-house charm includes wood single-pane windows (with storm windows) in the original part of the house, and original tile and fixtures in the upstairs bathroom. The house is comfortable and more than livable with these vintage fixtures, and is priced accordingly. This warmly welcoming home with its big, beautiful back yard is a remarkable find.
