In a location that makes everyday living simple yet connected, choose from a variety of Arlington’s best shops and restaurants or get out and explore with easy access to the bike path, Mass Ave and public transportation. Ideal for investors, owner occupants, or multigenerational living, this property offers real flexibility for any lifestyle. Each unit offers a similar, comfortable layout with three bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen, living room, sunroom, and family room, giving both units a sense of space that’s hard to find. The second unit adds a little extra character with vaulted ceilings in the family room, plus a second level with an additional bedroom and walk-in attic for storage or future possibilities. A spacious basement opens the door for storage or potential expansion, and the two-car garage adds everyday convenience that tenants and owners alike appreciate.
