2808 John Marshall Drive Arlington, VA 22207

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!
