Sitting on an exceptionally large approximately .30 AC level lot, it offers a detached 1-Car Garage, equipped with electric and telephone, and a long paved driveway+parking pad that accommodates 4-5 additional vehicles! Few original homes remaining in this area have such large and versatile lots. A lovely brick Patio, shaded by mature trees, and an expansive, fully fenced rear lawn and garden invite you and your guests to enjoy backyard sports, relax with chilled drinks on balmy days and BBQ. A natural gas hookup makes grilling effortless. **** This home is solidly built with plaster walls and lovely original oak hardwood floors that can be refinished.

A security system; mature, manicured landscaping; beautiful brick hardscape, an oversized lot and unbelievable access to Metro are just scratching the surface of what this property has to offer. **** If youâre looking for the perfect location and home in Arlington, then donât overlook this opportunity to get in at a very attractive âAs Isâ pre-renovation price.
