1224 Stillwood Drive NE

Tucked quietly into Virginia-Highland, 1224 Stillwood Drive NE feels like a retreat disguised as a city home. Recently refinished with modern finishes, the house opens with an easy, natural flow-living room, dining room, kitchen, and deck all connected in a way that makes entertaining feel effortless rather than staged. The back porch is the heartbeat of the home: suspended high enough to feel immersed in trees and privacy, large enough to host with ease, and accompanied by the soft sound of a trickling waterfall below. Mornings invite coffee and stillness; evenings stretch into wine-filled gatherings that linger. Inside, light moves freely through the home, highlighting an open living space and a versatile front room that works beautifully as a sunlit office or creative retreat-separate enough to focus, yet never feeling removed from the rest of the house. The kitchen, perched among outdoor greenery, is ready for the inner chef in you, while the bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, work, or quiet escape. Below, an unfinished basement quietly promises future potential, whether expanded living space, studio, gym, or something entirely your own. This house underwent extensive updates and renovation to preserve history, yet create a new home for you. Full kitchen renovation including cabinets, solid surfaces, appliances, and hood.

Perfectly positioned near the shops, restaurants, and energy of Virginia-Highland, this home offers a rare balance: close to everything, yet tucked away enough to feel truly personal. 1224 Stillwood Drive NE is an invitation to slow mornings, easy hosting, and a backyard that feels worlds away-without ever leaving the city.
