About this home

Location, location, location. Arlington is a commuters dream, proximity to downtown Boston is 8 +/- miles, Lexington, Burlington, Woburn 15 +/- minutes. Highways, shopping, restaurants and parks and spectacular public schools are all "around the corner" from this adorable antique dutch colonial. This house has been in the same family and is coming on the market for the first time. It is located on a residential, tree lined street with sidewalks. This house is a good old gal, she's sturdy and reliable, but needs some updating and a little TLC. The original plaster walls and original hardwood floors are in beautiful condition. The house has newer windows, a brand new furnace, a paved driveway with a 1 car detached garage and adequate off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Enjoy the peace of mind with public utilities and natural gas both to the furnace and the kitchen for cooking. This house has a walk up attic and basement that could easily be finished for add'l living space
