A rare find in North Arlington, 4736 Old Dominion Drive has been lovingly and thoughtfully updated inside and out. A major exterior renovation completed in 2019 created show-stopping curb appeal, with Hardieplank siding, new windows, added portico with metal roof, and extensive hardscaping to create parking pad for multiple cars.
The backyard is a private oasis — there is a deck, patio, tons of green space and the shed was converted into a year-round living and entertainment space. Upon entry of the home you will find beautiful refinished hardwood floors, new Plantation Shutters, custom light fixtures throughout, a renovated kitchen including plenty of cabinetry, separate dining room, cozy family room with exposed beams, and a main level bedroom and full bathroom. The upstairs bedrooms have custom closets, and all bathrooms are renovated with modern finishes. Finished off in 2020, the basement provides a large open space for work or play with a floating staircase.
