Arlington Home of the Week: 31 Rockmont Road

Even through photos, the rays of this sun-splashed home are easily noticeable. Beautiful butter yellow walls were also painted throughout the first floor to further accentuate its natural glow. Aside from its south-facing advantageous direction, a lot of credit for its abundance of brilliance also comes from its 07 renovation that showcases a fireplaced living room and sweet heated sun porch. The remainder of this nearly 1,600 square foot home also boasts brightly flavored rooms with spacious dimensions, lightly covered walls and an abundance of windows.

A welcoming fireplaced living room greets guests through its front entry and a French door provides access to the charming neighboring sun porch. The open eat-in kitchen boasts crisp, white cabinets with sleek granite surfaces and stainless steel appliances and includes a lovely dining area with a classic corner built-in china cabinet as a slight hint of this home vintage roots. The kitchen also provides direct access to the raised rear deck where meals can easily be enjoyed al fresco. This level also includes a home office/den and a bedroom and full bath for guest lodging or residents who prefer single-floor living.

The second floor boasts three generously-sized bedrooms with great closet space and a full family bath. A laundry area and half bath are located on the basement level.

All systems have been recently updated and with its recent renovation and continued maintenance by its current owners, this home is considered in exceptional condition and leaves the new title holders with the sole task of unpacking and personalizing each space. Its turn-key status will be especially beneficial in the spring where residents will have plenty of time to take a few breaths of warm, fresh air and enjoy the enchanted garden area and private wooded landscape of their new home.
