Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully renovated by its current owners, this delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers classic Arlington character, modern updates, and three finished levels of comfortable living space. Step inside through the welcoming front-entry mudroom-perfect for coats, shoes, and those rainy or snowy Arlington days. The main level showcases beautifully refinished hardwood floors and a traditional Cape Cod layout featuring a spacious Great Room with fireplace, a dedicated dining area, and a stunning updated kitchen. Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar and hardwood flooring. It's a space sure to inspire both weeknight dinners and weekend gatherings! Also on the main level, the versatile third bedroom (not legal) can easily function as a home office, library, sitting room, or guest space. A tastefully renovated full bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms and a gorgeous down-to-the-studs renovated full bathroom with modern finishes. Refinished hardwood floors continue throughout the upper level, adding warmth and timeless appeal. The finished lower level expands the living space even further with a recreation room, home office or flexible bonus room (non-legal 4th bedroom), plus a spacious laundry/utility room with plenty of storage. Step outside to your fully fenced backyard oasis, featuring low-maintenance, high quality artificial turf that provides a lush, inviting space for play, pets, entertaining, or simply relaxing-without the mowing, mud, and maintenance of a traditional lawn.
