Spacious, sunny, 3-bedroom/1-bathroom de-leaded apartment in two-family house in East Arlington. Absolutely ideal location: house is on the bike path and very close to the Rte-2 entrance. Many apartments claim to be close to Alewife, but it is hard to get closer to Alewife than this one. Here are the apartment's features: Renovated eat-in kitchen with tons of counter space and storage Renovated bathroom Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Gas heat Hardwood floors are in great condition. Washer/dryer in basement exclusive to this unit Comes with one garage spot and one driveway spot. It's a large driveway, so there is no need to tandem park cars It's a few blocks from Hardy Elementary School and is next to Thorndike Field. Snow removal is paid for by the owner Less than a 10-minute walk from Alewife Certified lead compliant by the State of Massachusetts I find that people are often confused about who is listing a property. This is listed directly by me, the owner, not a broker. Thus, there is no broker fee for this property. Tours can be done in person or by video. I have a video of the apartment I can share as well.

Neighborhood

Located fewer than 10 miles northwest of downtown Boston, the bustling neighborhood of East Arlington combines a small-town atmosphere with the active nightlife of a larger city. The commercial district runs along Massachusetts Avenue, while homes for rent line the side streets. Many commuters walk or bike the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway to the Alewife T stop, which takes them into Boston and Cambridge.

Before leaving your East Arlington apartment for work, walk to Quebrada Baking Company for a cup of coffee and a handmade almond croissant. Pizza lovers enjoy the creative pies available at Za and the thin-crust pizzas at OTTO. For a night out, check out the films at the historic Capitol Theatre, which was built in 1925. Film patrons can purchase ice cream at Capitol Creamery right around the corner to satisfy the night's sweet tooth.
