About this home
Welcome home to this beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath rental in the heart of Arlington. Newly fully remodeled top to bottom with modern systems and designer finishes. Set behind a classic double-decker facade with fresh navy siding, crisp white trim, and a private covered front porch, this home blends timeless character with a fully modern interior. Step inside to sun-filled living and dining areas featuring gleaming hardwood floors and a striking gray accent wall anchored by a sleek linear electric fireplace. Oversized windows throughout flood the space with natural light, and a charming glass-paned door opens directly onto the covered front porch, the perfect place for morning coffee or an evening unwinding. The fully renovated kitchen is a showstopper, outfitted with crisp gray shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a full suite of stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, gas range, and built-in dishwasher. A pendant-lit peninsula creates the perfect spot for casual meals or entertaining. Upstairs, the dormered primary suite is a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings, wide-plank flooring, a spacious walk-in closet behind a modern barn door, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring a glass-enclosed shower and dual-sink vanity. Two additional bright bedrooms offer flexible space for guests, a home office, or family, and a second full bath rounds out the layout with a clean, contemporary tub/shower combo and floating vanity. Outside, enjoy your own covered rear porch with a rich wood-stained ceiling an ideal extension of your living space for warm-weather relaxing. Located just off Massachusetts Avenue, this home offers easy access to Arlington's shops, restaurants, and parks, with a quick commute into Cambridge and Boston.
