Arlington condo all about the details
With at least one special detail to love in each room, the expansive unit 2 condo at 50 Mt. Vernon St. in Arlington is a rare find. It combines an enviable location near everything Arlington, square footage bigger than many singlefamily homes currently on the market, and myriad unique touches throughout that give the unit character and warmth.
The two-level condo sits on a quieter, tree-lined side street off Massachusetts Avenue and has retained much of its original 1916 historic detail while enjoying one-of-a-kind updates to modernize the space.
You’ll find that period charm in the handsome wood crown molding, the bow windows and built-in china cabinet in the bright and sunny formal dining room, and clawfoot tub in one of the bathrooms. But there’s so much more to discover in the more than 2,100 square feet.
The living room and adjoining dining room complement one another, with big windows in both letting sunlight pour in. There’s a great home-office nook with access to the enclosed front porch off the living room that could be used as an additional sitting area to expand the living area even more. In the eat-in kitchen, you’ll enjoy a mix of vintage touches and lots of space to roam as you cook.
One full bathroom with an impressive clawfoot tub and two comfortable bedrooms complete the home’s main level, but as promised, that’s not all. One of the bedrooms opens to an attached threeseason porch with beadboard paneled wall and ceiling that make it feel like a treehouse that’s all grown up. Curl up on a loveseat with a good book and watch the leaves turn or snow fall.
That beadboard motif is carried over to the frontto-back master bedroom suite. Vaulted ceilings and skylights draw the eye upward; the warm beadboard and hardwood floors melt into one another, creating a thoroughly singular, spa-like space. There’s tons of room for a king-sized bed and a sitting area, plus a modern, black-and-white master bathroom with whirlpool tub, separate shower stall and skylights that open to the treetops.
