Completely reimagined in 2019, this stately brick Colonial in the heart of coveted Arlington Heights delivers the full package: gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar and morning nook, a sun-filled main-level addition with half bath, a finished lower level with custom wet bar, AND a show-stopping backyard with built-in firepit patio — all steps from Ruthie's All Day and minutes to Ballston and Clarendon. Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1,654 finished square feet of warm, character-filled living that has been thoughtfully updated top to bottom. Move-in ready and impeccably maintained, this is the Arlington home you have been searching for.From the welcoming front portico, step inside to find stylish built-in cubbies — ideal for coats, hats, and keys — opening into a sun-drenched living room with beautifully stained, exposed original hardwood floors. The sleek, gourmet kitchen wows at every turn: a large breakfast bar, 5-burner gas range, stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, marble tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, recessed lighting, and a charming breakfast nook bathed in natural light. The 2019 main-level addition (18' x 11') sits adjacent the kitchen and functions beautifully as a family room, guest bedroom, home office, gym, or playroom — complete with hardwood floors, a ceiling fan, a half bathroom, and a sliding glass door leading directly to the backyard. Upstairs, the generous primary bedroom (10'11 x 16'3) features a walk-in closet, hardwood floors, and a ceiling fan. A second bedroom and a tastefully remodeled full bathroom with designer finishes round out the upper level, along with a convenient hall linen closet. The fully finished lower level is an entertainer's dream: an expansive recreation room (17'8 x 18'6) with luxury vinyl plank flooring, a full bathroom, and a stunning custom built-in bar with wine and beverage refrigerator. The utility room houses the washer, dryer, utility sink, and mechanicals, with extra storage tucked under the stairs. Outside, the fully fenced, professionally landscaped rear yard is a true private retreat. A composite landing with dual stairs and built-in storage leads to a flagstone walkway and the gorgeous paver patio complete with a built-in firepit and retaining wall. Hardwired up-lighting creates magical ambiance for evening entertaining, and a second wood deck is perfectly positioned for grilling and extra seating. LOCATION: Steps to Ruthie's All Day Restaurant.
