Stunning remodel in Arlington’s sought-after Berkshire Oakwood! Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, this 1948 Cape is like nothing you’ve seen before.

Just beyond, a showstopping 2023 kitchen renovation offers 42″ white cabinetry, Quartz countertops, all new stainless steel appliances, custom range hood, and new hardwoods throughout. A sun-soaked eat-in nook with built-in bench opens to the jaw-dropping screened porch – added in 2025 with Trex decking, a vaulted tongue and groove ceiling, in-ceiling heaters, and room for both dining and lounging.

The main level bedroom wing offers two generously sized bedrooms and a fully renovated full bath with marble basketweave tile, glass-enclosed shower, dual shower heads, and cheerful wallpaper. Upstairs, two full suites including a true ensuite primary with massive walk-in closet and a luxurious owner’s bath featuring dual sinks, Quartz surround, and a triple-head glass-enclosed shower. A fully finished lower level rec room with full bath is perfect for play, movies, or guests.

Outside, enjoy a new Bluestone patio, brand new fence, and a flat, lushly landscaped yard with year-round privacy. All of this just blocks from Nottingham Elementary in one of North Arlington’s most beloved communities.
