1805 N Calvert Street

Nestled on a quiet, low-traffic street in the heart of Lyon Village, a historic and highly sought-after neighborhood, 1805 N Calvert Street is a stunning Craftsman-style residence that blends timeless charm with high-performance, eco-conscious living. Renovated in 2010 with design by acclaimed architect Robert Shogren, this home features an open main level with solid teak kitchen cabinetry, solid mahogany French doors with 3-point locking systems, and custom solid maple hardwood floors crafted by artisan Sam Dwyer. The family room is flooded with natural light from several French doors that lead to a solid Ipe wood deck, while the front wraparound porch—also Ipe—adds welcoming curb appeal. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite includes Juliet balconies, a luxurious en-suite bath with dual sinks, a frameless glass shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. Two secondary bedrooms share a hall bath, and a flexible fourth room serves perfectly as an office, nursery, or guest room. The lower level offers a large rec room, oversized laundry, full bath, and a storage area that could easily become a second kitchen, with dual stairwells providing access from both the foyer and kitchen. The backyard is fully fenced and ideal for entertaining, and the extended driveway fits multiple cars with ease. Behind the walls, a state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling system—powered by three buried deep wells—provides clean, quiet comfort and saves roughly 50% in energy costs over traditional systems. Four independent climate zones, each with a programmable smart thermostat, allow for remote control from anywhere in the world. Major systems are all updated, including a new water heater and dryer in 2025, washer in 2023, and dishwasher in 2024; the HVAC and roof were replaced during the renovation in 2010. This exceptional location offers unbeatable walkability: steps from Lyon Village Park with a sprayground, playground, tennis, and basketball courts; a short stroll to Innovation Elementary School, 10 min walk to Clarendon Metro (Orange and Silver Lines); and minutes to Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, MOM’s Organic Market, The Italian Store, Starbucks, CVS, Georgetown, and D.C. The neighborhood hosts various events throughout the year, fostering a strong sense of community among residents. Living at 1805 N Calvert Street places you at the epicenter of Arlington’s dining scene. Just a short stroll away, you’ll find Ambar, known for its modern Balkan “Dining Without Limits” experience, and Lyon Hall, a beloved French brasserie offering house-made charcuterie and an impressive beer selection. For rustic American fare in a historic setting, The Liberty Tavern is a local favorite, while Green Pig Bistro delivers hearty, seasonal dishes with a French-American twist. Maison Cheryl adds a contemporary touch with its chic bistro vibe and craft cocktails. Craving something more global? Gyu San Japanese BBQ specializes in high-end Wagyu grilled tableside, Spice Kraft Indian Bistro serves vibrant Indian dishes with vegan options, and Kabob Bazaar brings bold Middle Eastern flavors. For a more laid-back vibe, East West Coffee Wine offers the perfect spot to sip, snack, and relax. All of these options—and more—are easily walkable, making this location a true foodie’s paradise. With its thoughtful architecture, flexible floorplan, energy-efficient systems, and vibrant urban lifestyle, this home is truly one of a kind.
