This newer home has been beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated; it lives like a private retreat conveniently located in North Arlington. The first floor welcomes you with a wide, light-filled foyer, the traditional banister leading toward the second floor’s cathedral-pitched ceiling. In the front of the home, a more traditional layout offers an office (or is it a playroom? a music room? a library?) and a formal dining room. From there, the floor plan opens up into the heart of the home where the fully-renovated, light and bright, spacious and well-appointed kitchen connects seamlessly to the stacked-stone-gas-fireplace accented living room and then continues to the rear deck. The home’s architectural details are consistent and well executed; deep crown molding and baseboards, wainscoting and on-trend crystal light fixtures are a few of the many examples. Natural light flows in from the oversized windows and washes over the beautiful hardwood floors throughout the home. Unlike many homes in the area, the ceilings are high - 10-foot ceilings on the main level, while upstairs, cathedral ceilings highlight both the foyer and the Primary Bedroom. The expansive Primary Suite occupies one side of the upper level and includes a private balcony, a spacious bath and two walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms are located across the hall, one with an ensuite bath. Well-sized bedrooms provide so many options, and the happy place at the top of the stairs is another incredible flex space. Full of light and airiness, it is currently the yoga / exercise spot. The in-home technology includes wired ethernet, a smart thermostat with temperature sensors, Arlo cameras, and a Honeywell security system. Since 2017, over $250,000 in thoughtful improvements have been made. The COVID-era renovation included a full kitchen and living room remodel with updated cabinetry, hardware, quartz counters, glass tile backsplash, crystal pendant lighting, LED recessed lighting, GE Caf appliances, new hardwood floors and a gas fireplace with stacked stone surround. More recent updates include custom window treatments (including room darkening shades in two bedrooms and room darkening drapes in the Primary Bedroom) (2023), fresh interior paint, new hardware throughout the home, new Kohler plumbing fixtures, a bathroom vanity and a new dryer (2025). The exterior has been intentionally redesigned over the past 8 years to ensure that you can enjoy your weekends in your resort-like back yard instead of spending your weekends working to maintain your resort-like back yard. A Fiberon composite deck with dusk-to-dawn lighting (2018) sports a 7-person premium hot tub and overlooks a landscaped yard with a garden pond, patio and putting green. Knowing that you have a 50-year architectural shingle roof (2019) and insulated Hardie Plank siding (2020) should help keep your mind at ease as you enjoy R&R in your private backyard. Location, location, location. Not many areas of Arlington have such easy access to restaurants, stores, parks, playgrounds, schools (Nottingham Elementary School and Bishop O’Connell HS are less than half a mile from the house), no car needed. A car is also unnecessary to get to the metro, but if a car is used, a Zone 9 parking sticker assigned to this address works near EFC Metro station as well, providing more parking options. If you are looking for a move-in ready home that is perfectly located and has been thoughtfully updated through the years to increase the possibility of relaxing weekends free of yard and home-work, look no further, this beautiful home awaits… * Don't miss the Matterport 3D tour video, it is available in the listing * Summertime photos are included to highlight the lovely outdoor space that has been covered in snow! * A walkthrough video is coming * Recording devices in use in the home
