Property Description

Mid-century modern design and a remarkable backyard setting come together to create a truly special home. Inside, original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and broad views of the surrounding trees give the home a warm, inviting feel. The spacious living room opens directly to the backyard through french doors, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen combines vintage personality with practical updates, featuring extensive cabinetry, generous granite counter space, a gas range, built-in storage, and a distinctive retro refrigerator. The floor plan includes three bedrooms, two updated full bathrooms, a formal dining area, and a separate room that works well as a home office, nursery, reading room, or private retreat adjoining the primary suite. Both bathrooms feature granite countertops and tiled walk-in showers, while built-ins throughout the home provide character and useful storage. Outside, mature oak trees and layered landscaping create a private, park-like atmosphere rarely found this close to the center of Arlington. A covered patio with exposed wood beams overlooks the expansive shaded lawn, while a stone fire-pit area offers another inviting place to gather beneath the tree canopy. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and anyone needing additional workspace will appreciate the long double-wide driveway, oversized two-car garage, and separate two-car garage at the rear of the property—providing four covered garage spaces with ample room for recreational vehicles, storage, projects, or a workshop. Conveniently located near I-30 and River Legacy Park, approximately 8 minutes from UT Arlington, 15 minutes from DFW Airport, 20 minutes from Fort Worth, and 30 minutes from Dallas. With its MCM personality, versatile interior, four garage spaces, mature trees, and peaceful half-acre setting, this is a distinctive Arlington property with space to live, work, entertain, and unwind.
