Welcome to one of East Arlington’s loveliest streets, with a grassy, cherry tree-lined island running its entire length! This charming, impeccably maintained turn-of-the-century beauty is brimming with architectural treasures: built-in china and book cabinets, high ceilings, and gorgeous detailed woodwork at every turn.Head up the steps to the sunny living room or the spacious sitting room, where windows overlook the front porch. Two large bedrooms, one with a custom Elfa closet system, share an updated bath. The large kitchen is a cook’s dream, with plenty of storage and a direct flow into the dining room. A back porch and a big, private basement round out the interior.Step outside to find plentiful room for gardens along the side and around the back patio, ready for your next summer picnic (and with Central Air inside, you can retreat when the heat arrives!). When winter comes, you’ll love having a detached garage with space for your car.Getting around is a breeze. Hop on the Minuteman Bikeway to Alewife, or catch the bus on Mass Ave straight to Harvard or Porter Squares. You’re close to Spy Pond for some great kayaking, or you can head down to Magnolia and Thorndike parks for fun and the dog park. And you’re right in the heart of Capitol Square, with its theater and a fantastic mix of eclectic restaurants and shops. Don’t miss this one!
