This is the Arlington home for buyers who want the charm of an established neighborhood without taking on someone else's renovation project. Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, 2408 2nd Street South offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and three finished levels in the heart of Penrose.

At the center of the home is a completely renovated kitchen with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and modern finishes designed for everyday living and entertaining. All three full bathrooms have been completely renovated, while the upper level creates a private primary retreat with its own full bathroom, dedicated laundry room and additional flexible space for a home office, reading area or sitting room. The finished lower level adds an entirely different dimension to the home. With a bedroom, full bathroom, spacious family room, kitchenette, second laundry area and walk-out access to the backyard, it offers exceptional flexibility for overnight guests, extended household living, a private work-from-home setup or simply additional everyday living space. And the improvements go well beyond what you can see. The home features a new HVAC system serving the upper two levels, a separate mini-split system for the lower level, new energy-efficient windows, new exterior and interior doors, updated lighting, hardwired smoke detectors, and a whole-house backup generator—features that allow the next owner to spend less time thinking about projects and more time enjoying the home. The roof was installed in 2023. Outside, the landscaping has been refreshed and the fully fenced, level backyard offers room to entertain, garden, play or simply unwind.
