This well maintained two family home is located on a quiet street outside of Arlington Center and close to Parallel Park. The house has been in the same family for more than 5 decades and has been well maintained, but will require updates. There is a newer roof, a newer boiler, a newer oil tank, a newer hot water tank and the exterior was painted last year. The first floor apartment is occupied by tenants and the apartment shows beautifully with 6 rooms, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, living room, sun room, dining room and eat in kitchen. The second floor apartment is vacant and has two levels of living space with 7+ rooms, 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms and plenty of opportunity for expansion. There is an oversized garage and a lovely private rear yard. This is a terrific property, which is perfect for an owner occupied home, an investment or development opportunity.

R2
Two-Family District
The predominant use in R2 is a two-family dwelling or duplex. This district is generally served by local streets only and its neighborhoods are largely walkable and well established. It includes areas that are generally within walking distance of the stores and transportation facilities along Massachusetts Avenue and Broadway. The Town discourages uses that consume large amounts of land, uses that would detract from the single-family and two-family or duplex residential character of these neighborhoods, and uses that would otherwise interfere with the intent of this Bylaw.
