About 3701 N Oakland St
Gracefully set on a quiet rise in Arlington’s sought-after Rivercrest neighborhood, this fully reimagined home blends timeless architecture with thoughtful, high-quality updates. In a rare distinction, the home was redesigned by award-winning architect George “Duo” Dickinson, FAIA—nationally recognized for his work on over 500 projects and known for bringing vision and intention to residential design.
The 2017 renovation introduced vaulted ceilings with custom moulding and elegant uplighting, creating a warm and elevated sense of space. Rich hardwood floors and two wood-burning fireplaces add character and charm, while large windows invite in natural light throughout.
The kitchen opens to a beautifully expanded sunroom—a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, surrounded by light and calm. Just beyond, the oversized family room offers an exceptional space for entertaining—a rare and flexible retreat for both everyday living and special gatherings. From the dining room, step out to a private patio—ideal for quiet evenings or hosting under the trees.
Upstairs, you’ll find two well-appointed bedrooms, including the expansive primary suite with a dream-worthy walk-in closet featuring custom cabinetry and built-in storage, plus a spa-inspired ensuite bath with high-quality tilework. All bathrooms in the home were fully remodeled with enduring style and thoughtful finishes.
The lower level includes two additional bedrooms—perfect for guests, family, or flexible use—as well as a spacious bonus room with custom built-in bookcases and extra storage, ideal for a home office, media space, or creative studio. Two new mini-split systems (2025) and a third from 2017 ensure comfort year-round.
Tucked away at the end of the street is a discreet access point to a public nature preserve that links to the Potomac River and several nearby parks, with the C&O Canal towpath just a short walk away—a peaceful retreat that feels worlds apart, yet remains minutes from the heart of the city.
Additional features include owned solar panels (2022), a new water heater (2022), updated HVAC systems (2017), and an oversized two-car garage with workshop space.
This is a one-of-a-kind home—rare in both design and feel—where quality, comfort, and location come together beautifully. Love being home.
