For the price of a condo, you can have your very own slice of paradise, yet with a yard, a deck, a ridiculously cute shed + room to dream! Custom built in 1956 and lovingly maintained by the same family ever since, it has that easy, comfortable, "just feels right" vibe that makes you want to kick off your shoes and unwind. With loads of updates over the years, one stands out: the 2014 kitchen redesign was a clever one, with granite counters, updated appliances and a stylish peninsula that doubles as prep space + the daily dining spot. After dinner, step out onto the deck and enjoy the mature trees and the lush, green, fenced in yard. Relax after a long day as the main level bath offers a separate shower + soaking tub, because sometimes you deserve to soak like royalty! Four bedrooms...two up, two down...give you plenty of flexibility for bedrooms, an office, guests, a playroom or whatever life throws your way! And here's where this one really starts to shine: you can hit the easy button. Vinyl siding, updated windows + central air mean fewer things to worry about and more time to enjoy the lifestyle that Arlington offers. With its 7,200 sq ft lot + 60 feet of frontage, there are plenty of options...maybe expand down the road, finish the lower level that already has nice ceiling height for a bonus retreat or add an ADU for an aging relative or home office? All of this in a location that makes everyday life easy, too. Just two blocks off the bike path, near McClennan Park/trails + close to all the Mass Ave fun, including restaurants, shops, coffee, errands and more. Commuting to Cambridge and Boston is easy, too, with the 77 bus to Alewife nearby. Cute, comfortable, practical + full of possibilities, this one is a gem!
