I always love listing the homes I helped my clients buy, so looking forward to showing this great condo. It was a great find when my clients bought it back in 2010, and the improvements they’ve made over the years make it even more amazing now — from the gorgeous new kitchen and bath to the high-efficiency gas heating / HW system (converted from oil in 2011) and the brand new roof, you will not want to miss this home!
Looking for a blend of period detail and modern appeal in an amazing East Arlington location? This home has it! Among the many great features of this 2-bed unit: a lovely foyer with built-in secretary, spacious living room with bay window and stained glass transom, dining room with wainscoting and built-in china cabinet, a 2014-renovated kitchen with large pantry, and a newly-renovated bathroom. Unit 1 gets half the basement with private laundry and great space for a home gym and workshop — plus tons of storage! Outside there are common front and rear porches and a fenced back yard, one garage parking space plus half the driveway. Recent updates include new roof (2018), high-efficiency gas boiler w/ indirect HW heater (2011) and new insulation (2011). All this in vibrant East Arlington with its many shops, restaurants, Capitol Theatre, many local parks and Spy Pond!
