Timeless Cape Cod charm meets thoughtful renovation in this expanded 5 bedroom, 4 full bath home in Arlingwood. Set on a landscaped corner lot framed by mature trees, the residence offers 3 finished levels, distinctive architectural details, and a private garden setting. A stone walkway leads to a columned entrance, opening to warm interiors featuring exposed brick, wood beams, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace. An updated kitchen and four renovated full bathrooms complement separate living, dining, and sunroom, while a main-level bedroom suite provides flexibility. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom suite includes a sitting area, with an additional bedroom and full bath completing the level. The lower level features a recreation room, two bedrooms, a full bath, library, laundry, and loads of storage. A new rear deck with a pergola overlooks layered greenery, while paved terraces, stone retaining walls, established plantings, and landscape lighting create inviting spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation. An outdoor barrel sauna adds a distinctive retreat. Meticulously maintained and extensively improved, the home also features a whole-house generator, recessed lighting, and newer major systems.

Arlingwood, located between Arlington Boulevard (US-50) and Columbia Pike, is a residential and commuter-friendly Arlington neighborhood with mid-century brick ramblers and leafy, sidewalk-light streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Columbia Pike corridor near S Walter Reed Dr, where taquerias, independent cafés, and small storefronts keep the street scene active. Nearby, Signature Theatre anchors the arts calendar with contemporary productions and a polished lobby-bar feel. Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse adds a late-night, local-comedy pulse, while the W&OD Trail frames daily routines with long, flat miles for walking and biking. Housing reads as practical and well-kept, with occasional newer infill tucked behind mature trees. Parks and trailheads shape a grounded, outdoors-forward rhythm.
