With 2,636 heated square feet, a large private lot, a must-see sunroom, bonus room and plenty of space to spread out, this home checks the wish-list boxes--and then adds a few you didn't know you needed.

An additional adjoining lot is also available for anyone looking for even more space and privacy. Updated and refreshed throughout, the home has an easy, flowing floor plan that makes every space feel connected and comfortable. The kitchen is made for gathering, with an oversized island that anchors the space and offers plenty of room for cooking, entertaining or simply pulling up a stool. But the real showstopper is the 400-square-foot sunroom. Walls of windows overlook the deck, landscaped yard and woods, creating a space that feels completely tucked away. With an impressive brick wood-burning fireplace, this is the kind of room you'll want to use year-round. Prefer your fires with the push of a button?

And one final feature that's hard to overlook: a qualified buyer has the opportunity to assume an approximately $250,000 VA loan at a 2.5% interest rate--an unheard-of rate in today's market. Spacious, updated, private and full of character, the Blisswood Cottage gives you room to spread out, spaces you'll actually use, and all the perks of Arlington Place just beyond your own backyard.
