1812 Youngblood St Mclean, VA 22101

Pull onto this quiet tree-lined street and the house simply feels friendly. A curved stamped-concrete walk added in 2015 guides you past lime-washed brick, working cedar shutters and a bright red front door replaced in 2020. A brand-new porch handrail (2024) frames the entry, and the late-2020 roof lets you enjoy curb appeal instead of worrying about it. Inside, the living room is all warmth—original hardwoods, a wood-burning fireplace with a fresh tile hearth and painted brick (2023) and a wide bay window (2020) fitted with remote-control shades first installed in 2015. The space opens to the dining area and the 2024 kitchen makeover: two-tone cabinetry, granite that wears everyday life well, a mosaic backsplash, deep pantry storage, built-in wine rack and stem-glass holders, plus stainless appliances that include a gas range ready for serious cooking. Barn doors slide between the kitchen and the adjacent office, and another set closes off the office from a nearby bedroom, giving you flexible work-from-home privacy without eating floor space. An EV outlet added in 2022 sits just outside, so your car charges while dinner roasts. A 2021 addition created the kind of primary retreat buyers beg for in McLean. Vaulted ceilings, its own LG mini-split for whisper-quiet comfort, a walk-in closet behind a space-saving pocket door and another pocket door to the spa bath keep the suite flowing yet tucked away. That bath spoils with a soaking tub, oversized custom shower and double vanity, all under another vaulted ceiling that lets morning light pour in. Two more bedrooms share an updated hall bath finished in 2022, while the upstairs studio/bedroom enjoys its own mini-split and a refreshed bath the same year. Head downstairs and the 2023 remodel delivers a wide-open rec room on new laminate wood flooring—perfect for movie nights or a home gym—with a dry, comfortable feel thanks to a new sump pump (2019) and a whole-house sanitary line renovation completed last year. Systems are dialed in: a 50-gallon gas water heater (2020), high-efficiency Goodman furnace (2022) and a 17-SEER Lennox AC (2024) work alongside the mini-splits to keep bills predictable. A new shed (2018) hides the mower, while an outdoor kitchen built in 2021—stone bar, built-in Lion grill and bar-height seating—makes the inside-to-outside transition seamless. The same year, owners added a full deck, an expansive stamped-concrete patio, full backyard fencing and custom shades in the suite and office. Gardeners will geek out over the raised berry patch first framed in 2016 and still producing raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and a rotating cast of veggies and herbs, all watered by a French drain system installed in 2015. Four river birch trees out front, a new daylily rock garden (2023) and a stone fire pit (2015) round out the quarter-acre lot. Location is the McLean sweet spot: minutes to downtown shops, cafés and Tysons, a quick hop onto the Beltway or GW Parkway for an easy DC commute and inside the top-rated Fairfax County school pyramid. Weekend runs on the Pimmit Run Trail, farm-stand strawberries at Lewinsville Park and Silver Line access at McLean Station are all close enough to make the car optional. What you get is the best of a classic 1950s rambler—main-level living, solid construction, mature trees—combined with the 2020s upgrades you actually want. The big-ticket items are handled, the style feels fresh, and every square foot inside and out has a purpose. Move in, fire up the grill, pick tonight’s salad straight from the garden and settle into a neighborhood that’s as welcoming as the house itself.
