In the coveted**City of Falls Church** stands a beautifully nestled red-brick original, on a flat .34 acre lot with a fully fenced backyard. Reborn with a designer’s eye and a craftsperson’s precision and featuring over 3,700 square feet of refined interiors including an improved 1,200+ sq. ft. lower level that lives like a private retreat. Every inch is refined for beauty and function: crisp detailing, balanced textures, and discreet built-ins. Following an extensive 2023, design-directed remodel, the home showcases bespoke millwork, solid-core doors, fitted cabinetry, curated lighting, and three bath remodels. From the exterior, 601 Hillwood welcomes you with a boxwood-lined walk, restored gas flame lantern, and expanded brick-edged drive fitting three cars. The main level flows through sunlit rooms and a four-season sunroom wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass. A speakeasy-inspired study hides behind a paneled wall with custom cabinetry, marble dry bar, and artisanal lighting. A moody powder room adds boutique-hotel polish. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. Upstairs: three serene bedrooms, custom closets for storage, and a reimagined bath with marble, double sinks, deep drawers, and an oversized vanity mirror with hidden cabinets. One bedroom conceals a sleek Murphy bed. The lower-level bonus room doubles as guest quarters with a custom Murphy bed with cabinetry, gas fireplace, and a Japandi-inspired oversized bath. This property captures city living at its most refined: thoughtful, livable, and unmistakably chic. Priced competitively to reflect a design-forward remodel and turn-key functionality.LOCATION: top-tier schools and quick access to two Metro stations, W and OD trail, shops, and dining.
