Arlington Home of the Week: 14 Woodbury St.

This brand new colonial kicks off a new year with a smart, beautiful and economical residential opportunity.

Prospective Arlington homebuyers have the unique opportunity to ring in the new year in a brand new home. This fantastic colonial was constructed by distinguished builder Brian Callahan who fabricated the perfect home for residents who are looking for spacious accommodations that not only encourage fluid traffic flows but also warm, intimate settings. This nearly 3,000 square foot residence more than satisfies and provides crisp, clean spaces with tasteful decorative details that will fully compliment personal enhancements.

The open 15 x 11 square foot kitchen will quickly develop into the heart and main hub of this home. It boasts premier ingredients that include stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry and granite surfaces, including an oversized center island for food preparation and casual seating for meals on the go. This culinary center opens into a cozy dining area and a 15 x 21 square foot family room with a slider that leads to a paver patio. This floor also offers a lovely formal dining room, full bath and a 10 x 11 square foot bedroom that could also be converted into a den, guest suite, home office or accommodate residents who prefer single-floor living.

The second level hosts four bedrooms that include a 14 x 17 square foot master suite with a walk-in closet, private bath, three additional bedrooms at 12 x 13, and two at 11 x 11 square feet and a full family bath. The generous footprint of this home was resourcefully exploited to offer a great finished 32 x 13 square foot playroom that opens up a number of useful possibilities.

A new year often involves new starts and this beautiful original home could not be a better choice to launch 2013. A fortunate family will be its first occupants which translates to state-of-the-art construction, materials and utilities and a home where maintenance responsibilities and costs will be minimal. Beauty and economical advantage, now that's the way to start off a new year.
