9 Lancaster Rd. is a small, two level cottage with a full, unfinished basement, off-street parking and a nice private patio and garden area. This is a unique opportunity to buy, fix-up and create your own a little gem of a house. The interior needs a full gut renovation- so roll up your sleeves.The exterior is vinyl and the roof is older. There are two newer mini- splits (one on each floor) in addition to an older (but functioning) hot water boiler. There is natural gas for the heat, hot water heater and cooking stove. The first floor has a properly-sized, wood burning stove with a stainless steel exterior chimney. Imagine putting your own signature on this quaint home and have your own single family as the perfect condo alternative. Priced to sell for the savvy buyer ready to break into Arlington and be so close to Mass. Ave and the Lexington line with proximity to Arlington Heights, Wilson Farm and Lexington Center. Appointments only.

A great blend of value and location! Victorian Worker's Cottage steps from Mass Ave on the Lexington line. It's an easy walk to Trader Joe's, the Bike Path, Public Transportation and the Heights business district. Well sited on a well maintained lot. A great opportunity to own your own Single Family home for the price of a Condo!
