Located in the most sought-after neighborhood in Arlington, within a very short distance of the Town Center, this handsome free-standing single-family residence offers grace, beauty, and comfort, and it is set on a generous piece of land with lovely gardens, a garage, and additional parking. The main entrance opens to a very generous living room with three exposures and hardwood floors characteristic of the rest of the house. The charming dining room opens onto a screened porch. A wood-paneled study, kitchen, and a ½ bath complete the first floor. Handsome details, including pilasters on the mantelpiece and a lovely stairway are evidence of the care involved in the house’s construction. At the 2nd level are 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The attic offers appealing storage, and perhaps the potential to create more residential space. The basement is the full footprint of the building, and features a heated workshop and additional storage.
