This week’s Best New Listings include a renovated Sears craftsman and two styles of living on either side of MacArthur Boulevard.

On the upper level, each bedroom has an en-suite bath, and the master bedroom also enjoys a skylight. An attic is accessible from a pull-down staircase, and the rear brick patio has a pergola and is framed with a decorative concrete-and-brick barrier.

A Former This Week’s Find Returns to the Market

Both the kitchen and the master walk-in closet have sleek steel-and-wood cabinetry and shelving systems. The house also has a two-car garage that includes an electric car charging station and a terrace with a hot tub.
