RARE FIND in Arlington's coveted Jason Heights neighborhood... conveniently located in the sought-after Brackett / Bishop School Zone! Welcome to 54 Temple St, a 5-level Colonial Revival hidden behind a classic New England Cape facade. Prominently perched on a large corner lot with a 2-car attached garage, this beautiful home offers quick access to Menotomy Rocks Park, shopping and restaurants, and architectural character you simply cannot replicate today. 2026 updates include FULL interior and exterior paint, NEW overhead light fixtures and newly refinished, gleaming hardwood floors! New boiler installed in 2018 and the roof is only 10 years young! Step inside and the foyer greets you with a beautiful winding staircase. The sun-drenched 27' living room is adorned with exposed wood beams and a dramatic knotty-pine accent wall that frames a wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining sunken sunroom is wrapped in casement windows and topped with a knotty-pine ceiling - a PERFECT place to sip your morning coffee or snuggle up with a book and enjoy the cross-breeze! The floor plan flows effortlessly, connecting kitchen/dining/living and sunroom - a true layout for entertaining! The kitchen features oak cabinetry with custom sliding shelves, floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets, lazy Susan, Miele gas cooktop, wall oven and arched breakfast nook. Off the kitchen, a fenced-in side yard encloses the in-ground pool and opens to the large front yard - seamlessly connecting indoor / outdoor living! The main level is complete with a convenient 1/2 bath and home office that can easily be converted to a 4th bedroom. Upstairs, the center hall opens to below and connects a full bath with tub, large linen closet, 2 spacious bedrooms (each with a walk-in closet) and a sun-filled 27' primary bedroom! The primary BR has a dedicated sitting room, en-suite bath, custom built-ins, louvered closets + a walk-in closet with a secret door that leads to the walk-up attic. The attic already has hardwood flooring, making this a fantastic place for storage (or an easy room to finish)! The partially finished lower level houses a 30' BONUS room with knotty-pine walls and a timeless arched-stone fireplace - ideal for those seeking a dedicated guest space without compromising privacy! The walk-out sub-basement allows easy storage for outdoor equipment (or an exciting opportunity to expand)! See photos for floor plans!
