Nestled atop Turkey Hill, one of the highest points in Arlington, this home offers a quiet oasis, yet nearby all that Arlington has to offer. The light-filled living room with painted brick fireplace and built-ins opens to the dining room with original glass-front hutch and chair rail. From the dining room, passing through the oversized pantry, is the kitchen and adjacent mudroom. Also off the living room is the sunroom with a bank of windows and built-in shelving, suitable for a home office, playroom, or homework space. Three bedrooms and a renovated full bath complete the second level. The finished third level provides additional living space for a family room, office, or gym, you choose how to use this flexible space! Enjoy the privacy of the patio in the partially enclosed backyard, ideal for gathering with family and friends. With an ice skating arena, soccer and baseball fields, walking trails and the Minuteman Bikeway close by, there's something for everyone!
