    What's special

    Investor Alert! Just steps from the bike path in East Arlington’s highly coveted commuter neighborhood lies a rare opportunity waiting to be reimagined. After many years in the same family, this classic multi-family is ready for renovation, although your vision & hard work will truly pay off! The stucco exterior adds timeless character, & with southeast exposure bringing in morning light & back porches made for sunset views, the potential here is undeniable. Possibilities galore ~ convert to a single family, consider a condo conversion, live in one unit & collect rent on the other? You’ll love the garage + non-tandem parking & the existing third-floor walk-up with three additional bedrooms. This is the ultimate chance to invest in one of Arlington’s hottest neighborhoods, the perfect combination of lifestyle & location! Just a 7-minute stroll to Alewife T, the 77 bus line, Thorndike Park/Magnolia Field, Hardy School, + all the East End’s eclectic shops, restaurants, and theaters!
