Welcome to this expanded 4-bedroom, 2 full bath Cape Cod in Arlington’s highly sought-after Cherrydale neighborhood - where timeless charm meets thoughtful, modern upgrades.
A major renovation and addition completed in 2021 (designed by architect Tripp DeFalco) significantly enhanced the home’s space and livability. The project introduced a spacious upper-level primary bedroom retreat with walk-in closet and casement windows, along with an expanded main level that creates an inviting dining or great room area ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The lower level bedroom functioned as an au pair suite with separate entry. Exterior improvements included new HardiePlank siding on the addition and dormers, a replaced roof, new gutters with mesh guards, repointed and repainted brickwork, and updated exterior flashing.
Outdoor living is equally inviting with a side brick patio, a composite rear deck, and raised garden beds surrounded by a thoughtfully designed landscape including a butterfly garden. The fully-fenced backyard is a gardener’s dream, featuring permaculture elements such as raspberries, persimmons, strawberries, garlic, and even a tree stump that naturally produces maitake mushrooms.
Additional upgrades include updated electrical wiring in renovated areas, new exterior lighting, a 2-zone Mitsubishi heat pump system, custom wood blinds, Andersen replacement windows on first and second floors (2024), custom built-ins and storage features, a Bosch dishwasher (2023), and a new LG washer and dryer (2025). Water heater (with expansion tank) replaced May 2026.
Just minutes from shops, parks, Custis Trail, Arlington’s Central Library, Ballston Metro, and all that vibrant Cherrydale has to offer. Schools: Arlington Science Focus ES, Dorothy Hamm MS and Washington Liberty HS.
A special home in a special neighborhood - thoughtfully expanded, lovingly maintained, and ready for its next chapter. Please use provided shoe covers or remove shoes. Hardwoods on main level just refinished (front two rooms). See document section for architect plans to add half bath on main level.
