About this House

Modern life meets historic charm in this sun-filled, spacious home. A stone's throw to the Arlington Reservoir, the Minuteman Bike Path, and the Arlington Heights shopping, restaurants, and public transportation, this renovated Victorian strikes a grand profile in the much-admired Mt. Gilboa neighborhood. The home was comprehensively renovated circa 2010, and the subsequent owners have made further improvements. Picture yourself entertaining around the marble-topped island in the updated eat-in kitchen, with gas range, stainless appliances, a pantry, and hardwood floors. Holiday dinners will be memorable in the formal dining room with a gas fireplace/stove. Curl up with a book in the front living room or out on the front porch with views over the generous yard and into the Heights. Get away from it all in the whole-floor master suite, with cathedral ceilings, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath boasting a huge walk-in shower and double vanity. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor, with lustrous wood floors. Laundry closet conveniently located on the second floor. Sip drinks as you enjoy your patio and landscaped yard.
