2740 Arlington is a beautifully refreshed mid-century modern home with stunning views, offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a generous 5,500 sq ft lot. Sun-filled living and dining rooms frame breathtaking sunsets through expansive picture windows, while vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, curated lighting, built-in bookshelves and a warm fireplace balance Mid-century architectural features with thoughtful modern updates. The direct connection to the flat backyard creates a perfect space to relax and entertain, and the updated kitchen showcases stainless steel appliances, quartz countertop, and a modern tile backsplash. Imagine dining al fresco under the covered pergola and taking in the views from the upper garden terrace or from the seamlessly connected living room, dining room and kitchen. Rounding out the main floor are two spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, a fully updated bathroom with Heath tile floor, and the eye-catching spiral staircase surrounded by original wood paneling. Downstairs, the third and fourth bedrooms radiate modern minimalism with wood paneling and custom bed nooks, alongside a second updated bathroom. Direct access from the attached two-car garage makes bringing in groceries or luggage effortless. With hiking trails, shopping, and dining all just minutes away, this is East Bay living at its finest.
