Tucked back on a quiet street in one of Arlington's established neighborhoods, this traditional brick home has been loved by the same family for over 35 years. You can feel it the moment you walk in, the kind of solid construction and thoughtful layout that's hard to find at this price point today. Four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and over 2,300 square feet give you room to actually spread out.
The great room is the heart of the home, anchored by a brick gas fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and wood paneling that gives the space real warmth instead of the flat, builder-grade look you find in so many newer homes. Off the entry, a second living area opens up more possibilities, a home gym, playroom, office, or second spot to gather, depending on what your life needs right now. Laminate flooring carries through the main living spaces, with travertine tile adding a more elevated touch elsewhere. The primary suite includes a garden tub and built-in shelving for extra storage, the kind of detail most homes this age have long since ripped out in a remodel.
Then you make your way to the back of the house, and that's where this property saves its best surprise. A pool, shaded by mature trees, sits ready for next summer. It's the kind of backyard that turns an ordinary Saturday into something worth remembering.
This home needs work. The wallpaper, the finishes, and the bathrooms all need attention, and the price reflects that. The AC, though, has already been updated within the last four years. The layout works, the lot is great, and the location is hard to beat. Zoned to Martin High School, minutes from shopping and dining, with easy highway access to the rest of DFW. If you've been waiting for a project with real upside in a part of Arlington that doesn't come up often, this is it.
