Description

Are you seeking a spacious, furnished sanctuary in an exquisite, newly renovated home? This 570 sq. ft. exclusive living area occupies the entire third floor. Reached by a staircase that offers a unique architectural view of the sunroom—a serene yet vibrant space sun-kissed by rays from the expansive skylights. Just off the hallway, your three rooms await. THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Arlington Center - Friendly, Walkable Village Step outside our doors and you are in an exceptionally walkable neighborhood, surrounded by friendly residents and a welcoming local culture. The Town of Arlington is frequently praised for its vibrant, community-first atmosphere and accessible charm. Village Culture & Cuisine: A short stroll takes you to the heart of the Center, home to over 50 local restaurants. Explore a diverse culinary scene ranging from cozy independent cafes to lively bistros, alongside unique boutiques and the historic Capitol and Regent theatres. Nature & Sunsets: Just a 5-minute walk away, enjoy the natural beauty of Spy Pond, famous for its expansive golden-hour sunsets. Hop onto the Minuteman Trail right at the pond for miles of scenic walking and biking—perfect for a peaceful evening unwind. THE ASCENT: A Stunning Architectural Welcome As you enter the home and ascend the staircase to your private level, you’ll enjoy a "bird’s-eye" view of the skylit first-floor sunroom. This architectural centerpiece is a serene yet vibrant space, bathed in natural light. While the staircase and hallway remain open to this beautiful view, the three rooms off the hall are your exclusive private domain, frequently described as beautiful, calm, serene, and deeply relaxing: EXTRA-LARGE PRIMARY BEDROOM (312 sq. ft.): A quiet, private retreat with double windows and two oversized skylights. It features a queen bed with under-bed storage, a 6-drawer wooden dresser, and two double-mirrored closets. Relax with the in-room TV, Google speaker, dimmable lighting, and a candlelit pellet stove. LUXURIOUS PRIVATE BATH (94 sq. ft.): Features a glass-enclosed shower, pedestal sink, bidet, and extensive storage with access lighting. WORKSPACE & PRIVATE DINING KITCHENETTE (136 sq. ft.): Surrounded by a wall of windows, this room serves as your dedicated lounge and dining area. Includes a sleep sofa, two large storage units, and a versatile table for work or private dining that seats four. Kitchenette Amenities: Fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster oven, coffee bean grinder, electric kettle, French press, blender, and slow cooker. Fully stocked with dinnerware and glassware for up to six people. COMFORT & CONNECTIVITY: Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, dedicated climate control (heating/AC), hardwood floors with natural fiber rugs, and 100% cotton luxury linens. SHARED ACCESS & DAILY LIVING: The Chef’s Kitchen: For serious culinary endeavors, you have shared access to our fully-appointed kitchen on the floor below. This space is ideally suited for food preparation and cooking; we invite you to then enjoy your meals in the peace and privacy of your third-floor dining suite. Glass Enclosed Porch & Laundry: The 3-wall glass-enclosed sunporch off the kitchen houses the shared laundry facilities. OUTDOOR LIFE & COMMUTE: Outdoor Life: Enjoy the backyard barbecue grill and outdoor dining area—a perfect spot for a quiet evening meal. Secure Bike Storage: For cyclists, the separate first-level back porch provides a secure, protected space to lock your bike. Commute: University Access: Reach Harvard or Tufts in 15–20 minutes. The bus stop is directly in front of the adjacent building, providing a direct link to university hubs and the MBTA Red Line. MIT, BU, and Boston College are also easily accessible via bike or transit. I am honored that you’ve taken an interest in my home. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you and share more about this unique, sun-filled retreat!
