About this home

This is truly an amazing place and an exceptional value. It features and showcases the former Music Room of the Idahurst Mansion. There are 11 foot ceilings, with beautifully carved, ornate detail and moldings that adorn the walls and trim. The marble wood-burning fireplace is absolutely gorgeous. The hardwood floors, along with the over-sized windows, make this room a truly magical space. There is a spacious bedroom with two generous closets, a walk-in closet directly off the Master Bathroom, and a convenient half bath to be found behind a lovely pocket door near the entrance. The kitchen offers great utility and an intimacy that pervades this gem of a property. It offers a short walk to the wonderful shops and restaurants that are to be found in Arlington Heights. The convenient location of the property offers easy and multiple transit options, including a short commute to Cambridge and Harvard Square.
