This may be a 84-year-old brick duplex, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the looks of this home. Located at 707 N. Oakland St. in Arlington, this property has gone through a number of renovations to bring it up-to-date, including a new water heater (2021), new roof on the back addition (2019), basement renovation (2019), new front door (2018), and kitchen and main level renovation (2016).
The backyard of the 1,304-square-foot house overlooks Gum Ball Park, which hosts Friday night social gatherings and pizza nights the first Friday of each month. The property features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a private parking space. It is currently listed at $875,000.
As you walk through the front door you are met with this beautiful and quaint living room. With hardwood floors (that can be found throughout the house), this space is perfect for either a cozy sitting room or light-filled office.
Continue through the living room and you’ll find the dining area. With island seating and room for a more traditional eating space, you’ll spend many days and nights entertaining friends and family. Off to the side, the renovated kitchen features shaker cabinets, granite countertops, pendant lighting, and a pantry cabinet.
The rear addition is home to the family room. The 14-by-15-foot space is flooded with morning sun and includes ample views and direct access to the backyard.
The primary bedroom, one of two bedrooms on the upper level, features hardwood floors and a walk-in closet. Both bedrooms share a hall bath with a linen closet.
Renovated in 2019, the basement can now be made into a legal third bedroom. During the renovation, the previous owners added sound deadening insulation in the ceiling to keep out the noise from upstairs, and left gas piping in order to add a radiator for some extra heat.
Whether you use the downstairs space for a recreation room or a bedroom, you’ll love the bathroom design. The renovated bathroom includes a full bath with a tiled walk-in shower. The downstairs space also includes a laundry room and a storage area.
