Enjoy the urban convenience of Arlington living while nestled in a serene setting that backs to over 24 acres of park land in this stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, updated Cape Cod. Located in the Brockwood neighborhood, this home was thoughtfully renovated in 2016 and 2018 to combine its original charm with the style and features which homeowners expect today. With incredible curb appeal, youll immediately notice the classic flagstone walkway and stairs leading to the oversized portico that protects the front entrance. From there, youll step into the open, spacious and bright main level that has been tastefully reimagined to suit todays living and working needs.
