Imagine living in one of Arlington’s most desirable Brackett School neighborhoods in this thoughtfully updated Colonial only steps from Robbins Farm and its breathtaking views of Boston. The enclosed front porch is a great place to lounge while watching the world pass by. The formal living room with a fireplace opens to a cheerful sunroom with a huge bay window for treetop views, the perfect space for reading, relaxing, or as an office for working privately from home. A 2017 renovation created the stylish, open concept kitchen/dining area with oak flooring, SS appliances, white cabinetry, and granite counters. The sliding glass door welcomes the sunshine and provides a great connection to the deck and private backyard beyond for easy outdoor living. The yard is a nature lover’s paradise with mature trees, colorful wildflowers, raspberries, and more. A paper road borders the home for added privacy, spaciousness, and a bonus parking spot. Easy access to Route 2 and public transportation.
