This inviting first-floor condominium is in the heart of vibrant East Arlington. The property’s wide front porch and large foyer set a welcoming tone. The high-ceilinged rooms and hard wood floors, along with original architectural details like the stained-glass transom, the ornate china cabinet, robust paneling and crown molding, create a warm and gracious feel throughout. The updated kitchen features a classic pantry, farm sink, lots of cabinets and granite counters. A built-in nook and bench off the back porch is a convenient landing spot for coats and shoes. Two good-sized bedrooms and basement rooms for laundry, storage and exercise equipment provide plenty of space to stretch out. And the lovely shared back yard is ready for gardening and al fresco dining. Includes one garage and driveway parking spaces. This well-maintained and pet-friendly property is a quick stroll to the Capitol Theater, restaurants, the Minuteman bike trail and Alewife T Station.
