707 N Oakland St

NO HOA!! This brick duplex built in 1939 has been extensively renovated and improved by the current owners. The house sits on a 2506 sq ft lot with zoned street parking on Oakland Street and a private parking space in the back, which overlooks Gum Ball Park, a .64 acre open green space owned and maintained by Arlington County. It’s also the site of Friday night social gatherings and pizza nights on the 1st Friday of each month. The property welcomes you with native and perennial plants and a stunning bright blue front door that opens into a generous foyer space with hardwood floors. The foyer opens into the dining area, also with hardwood floors, that overlook a renovated kitchen with shaker cabinets, granite counters, pendant lights, pantry cabinet, and opens into a bonus rear addition family room that’s flooded with morning sun. The upper level features 2 bedrooms that share a hall bath with linen closet. The second bedroom has an accent wall of mixed wood planks for an extra special focal point. The basement was fully gutted in 2019 to include an egress window making the lower level a legal 3rd bedroom. The owners added sound deadening insulation in the ceiling and left gas piping if someone wanted to add a radiator for extra heat. The bathroom was fully gutted and expanded into a beautiful full bath with walk-in shower. The laundry room features some storage space, but there’s also a bonus storage area in the basement. Updates: 2021 Water Heater, 2019 roof on back addition, 2019 basement reno, 2018 new front door, 2017 kitchen and main level reno, 2016 shed; plumbing lines now PEX.
