$10,000 Less For a Penrose Bungalow Flooded With Light
This Arlington bungalow hit the market on a Wednesday and found a buyer three days later for $10,000 less than the $825,000 asking price. A large sunroom that could be used as a sitting area or solarium for plants sits just inside the front door. The kitchen looks out over the primary living room from a seated breakfast bar and features plenty of counter space, a neutral-toned tiled mosaic backsplash and updated stainless steel appliances. A formal dining room just off the kitchen has a chandelier reflective of a modern art piece and a marble-tiled accent wall. A back deck, accessible by a door near the dining room, leads to the enclosed backyard. Two sheds, along with off-street parking to the side of the house, are accessible from a gravel driveway.
