Ideally located in sought-after East Arlington, just moments from Spy Pond and close to Mass Ave, the Minuteman Bikeway, and Alewife Station, this thoughtfully improved two-family home offers an exceptional combination of location, quality, and flexibility. The upper unit spans two levels and has been extensively remodeled with exceptional attention to detail, featuring a renovated kitchen and bathroom, premium flooring, in-unit laundry, new appliances, fresh paint, and a finished 3rd floor level with bedroom and office space. The first-floor unit has also been updated, including a renovated kitchen and bathroom, exposed brick accents, and in-unit laundry, creating a comfortable and attractive living space for an owner or tenant. Significant improvements have been made throughout the property, including extensive insulation and soundproofing, building-wide baseboard heating, and a fully owned solar panel system designed to offset a substantial portion of the property's electrical costs. A new roof system with architectural shingles and new gutters adds to the property's long-term appeal, while thoughtfully selected native plantings create a beautifully landscaped, inviting, and low-maintenance outdoor setting. Please see sellers complete list of home improvements. A wonderful opportunity to own an extensively improved two-family home in one of East Arlington's most sought after locations.
