About this home
2808 John Marshall Drive presents a timeless European cottage-inspired façade—stone-clad, warmly scaled, and defined by steeply pitched gables, arched openings, and carriage-style garage doors. A broad front porch, framed by stone walls and manicured plantings, creates an immediate sense of arrival and approachability, while the handsome stain grade arched front door sets the tone for what’s to come. Built by Phoenix Builders, one of Arlington's premier builders of the time, and designed by acclaimed architect Thomas French, the home reflects an enduring commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. Recently renovated with new baths, an updated kitchen, new light fixtures, fresh paint and new carpet (and a great yard) this house is not to be missed!
Inside, the home unfolds with a layout that is both classic and highly livable. The foyer introduces a series of well-proportioned spaces, where the formal living room and dining room connect naturally for everyday use and entertaining. A private study, tucked to the side with its own exterior access to the front porch, offers flexibility for work or quiet retreat.
Toward the rear, the home opens into a generous and renovated kitchen and family room—an inviting, light-filled space anchored by a central island and designed for gathering. The kitchen is supported by pantry storage and flows seamlessly to the outdoor living area, extending the home’s functionality beyond its interior walls. A mudroom provides a practical transition to the attached two-car garage.
Upstairs, the bedroom level is thoughtfully arranged for both privacy and comfort. The primary suite is set apart, featuring a large bedroom, a separate sitting room (an additional closet or nursery perhaps?) which offers hidden storage, a large walk-in closet, and a spacious renovated bath. Three additional bedrooms are well-sized and served by two brand new bathrooms, while a centrally located & huge laundry room with two sets of w/d enhances everyday convenience.
The lower level is designed for recreation and flexibility, offering a large open recreation room complemented by a dedicated billiards area and a wet bar. A fifth bedroom with an adjacent bath provides ideal guest or au pair accommodations, while direct exterior access adds versatility. An expansive unfinished area offers excellent storage or future potential.
The rear yard is designed as an extension of the home, with a covered patio, structured hardscape, and curated landscaping that support both entertaining and quiet outdoor living.
Throughout, the home reflects a balance of enduring architectural character and thoughtful updates, offering a cohesive living experience across all three levels in one of Arlington’s most desirable locations....
