This 19th century Colonial, custom built for Mr. John Lyons, an early Arlington merchant, sits on over a third of an acre in E. Arlington. A grand residence featuring 12 rooms, 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, a finished basement and more. The gracious foyer displays detailed original woodwork in the carved staircase and crown molding. The living room with decorative mantle and french doors opens to the family room with custom built-ins. The dining room with a decorative fireplace connects directly to the large eat-in kitchen and renovated bath. Four spacious bedrooms (two with french doors), an updated bath and sitting area complete the second floor. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, a half bath and bonus room with widow's walk, potential for master suite, in-law or au-pair with separate entrance. The wrap-around porch overlooks the large, private and tranquil yard and gardens. A four car garage and irrigation system are just some of the features you'll find in this beautiful home.
