Arlington Home of the Week: 21 Trowbridge St., Unit 2

Curbside, this lovely structure is the epitome of classic Arlington architecture as it presents all the historical and structural elements of its era. Inside, it also captures the essence of its day with period details, natural wood accents and unique room proportions. What makes this Philly-style condominium unit even more special however, is the beautiful pairing of its timeless design with a modern style and extensive contemporary updates.

This impressive unit boasts a newer kitchen and bath, gleaming hardwood floors and rooms freshly painted to infuse a chic sense of today's style. With almost 4,000 square feet of living space within two levels, it also yields incredibly spacious and private accommodations. The main level offers the four common rooms of the unit. The 12 x 13 square foot living room features soothing subtle sage walls and an enchanting curved trio of windows for a quiet reading vignette or intimate seating area. The 14 x 12 square foot dining area makes a dramatic and bold statement with rich rose walls, but also contains vintage elements with a charming built-in china cabinet and floor-length window treatments. This graceful ambiance will envelop diners far through dinner and dessert! The spacious 11 x 13 square foot renewed kitchen offers a tremendous amount of wood cabinets, many with glass fronts, a large pantry, a casual bar seating for quick meals and striking black accents in the appliances and moldings. The 12 x 11 square foot family room delivers exactly what it is designed for; a cozy, comfortable space with wood accents, a ceiling fan and a decorative fireplace for relaxed gatherings.

The top level houses a 16 x 13 square foot master bedroom and three generously-sized additional bedrooms at 16 x 12, 14 x 12 and 11 x 9 square feet.

This property not only offers a great amount of living space, it also provides many entertaining options with an expanded deck, rear patio and a spacious fenced-in back yard. A one-car garage is included with the price of the unit which makes commuting to many Arlington resources only minutes away, including the Capitol Theatre, restaurants, shopping, the Alewife Station and the new dog park! This is a great purchasing option for the homebuyer who enjoys both an urban and suburb lifestyle.
