You just may fall in love with this adorable 7 room home in a fantastic neighborhood, located less than a block to Mass Ave, a half mile to the Heights business district, and less than a mile to the brand new and spectacular Arlington High School. This 1924 colonial has recent renovations, yet retains the period charm of a 100-year old home. In 2017, the kitchen was gut renovated and is a joy to cook in, with Sub Zero fridge, Viking gas range, plenty of cabinet and counterspace, and white subway tile backsplash. During that renovation a half bath was added and the electric service was upgraded to 200 amps. This main floor also has a living room with cozy window seat and dining room with built-in hutch. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, full bath, and sunny office with windows on 3 sides and skylights, overlooking the backyard. The basement has full ceiling height and a walk-out to the backyard, making it very functional for storage or workspace. Located in an R2 two-family zoning district.
