What sets this East Arlington Colonial home apart is its practical layout, lovely yard, and one minute walk to the new Thompson School. It is so easy to enjoy holiday meals with enough space for everyone at the dining table. In this home, each member of the family gets own comfortable bedroom (either on the first floor or second): total 5 bedrooms with closet systems, 2 full baths, one on each level. It is a pleasure to cook in this kitchen: lot’s of natural light. Hardwood floors. Walk-up attic and workshop area in the basement. Large deck and level backyard is just the right size, great for barbecues or occasional ball game. Quiet street. Owners will miss spending summer days on the deck with ice cream truck always near by… Run along Mystic river or walk to Arlington Center. Close to many parks, library and playgrounds. Convenient to public transport. Short drive to Whole Foods, Tufts, Somerville and Cambridge. Saturday Open House 11:30-1PM
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
