This charming, classic, Victorian Colonial in a most convenient location is waiting for you! Historically significant, it gracefully combines period details with modern amenities like a gorgeous kitchen with high end appliances (a Viking stove), granite counters, and cherry cabinets. The original wood floors are recently refinished and gleaming. While away the hours on the expansive front porch while admiring the perennials in your front yard. More mature plantings can be found in the serene side and back yards. Sliding doors from the kitchen give easy access to a patio area. For fun and access to nature, the location is ideal and close to the Minutemen Bike Path, Arlington playground, and Arlington Reservoir. Easy access to public transportation adds to the convenience. You will love the stained glass windowed staircase leading to the 2nd floor where your master bedroom with its own roof deck for privacy in the treetops awaits. Character and quality can be yours at 175 Forest St.
