Listing broker remarks

Rare find alert! This lovingly renovated SINGLE FAMILY in East Arlington doesn't come often — and it delivers on every level (literally). The design is thoughtful and beautiful — a great condo alternative for buyers who want a true single-family. Three full floors of living space: main level flows with a living room, dining area, kitchen, and half bath; upstairs brings 2 bedrooms and a full bath; the lower level adds a third bedroom and full bath - also perfect as a home office or guest suite. Stunning hardwood floors throughout, loads of energy saving features, plus one car garage. Outside, the sunny corner lot with a private fenced-in yard hits the sweet spot for size, including a patio just made for entertaining. Location is unbeatable: moments to the Red Line T and the Minuteman Bike Path, plus easy access to Hardy School, Thorndike Field (with Dog Park) and Magnolia Parks. Stroll to vibrant East Arlington's many shops and trendy restaurants, the Capitol Theater, or hop the 77 bus straight to Porter or Harvard Squares. Take advantage of the proximity to all that Cambridge and Boston have to offer - this is a lifestyle game changer!— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
