    What's special

    Every now & then, a home just feels right ~ timeless, graceful, & quietly beautiful. Built in the 1880s, this Victorian is exactly that. Thoughtfully updated yet preserved to honor a bygone era w/soaring ceilings, tall windows, a working fireplace, & HW floors, yet modern comforts like central air, & updated systems. The wraparound porch is magical: sip coffee, watch sunsets, or wave to neighbors heading across the street to Arlington’s best-kept secret ~ “The Res,” a favorite for swimming, playdates, & nature walks that connect to the bikeway & all the cafés & restaurants in the Heights. Inside, the flow is effortless: foyer to fireplaced living room, into a lovely dining room, then to an updated kitchen w/a breakfast alcove. Upstairs find 3 sunny bedrooms w/great closets & a gorgeous bath + explore expansion pot’l in the walk-up attic! Patio & perennial gardens grace the back yard, perfect for dinners as this gem is tucked into a private cul-de-sac in the most lovely neighborhood!
