Rarely offered Spy Pond enclave, nestled off of Pleasant Street in Arlington.
(UNDER CONTRACT) Enjoy views of Spy Pond from each above-grade room in this American Foursquare (and more here) house, bathing the home in natural light. Oversized windows and French doors take advantage of the siting. 1997 renovations opened up the kitchen to the dining room. Owners have since updated with granite kitchen; master suite with luxurious bath and dressing room; and finished basement with full bath, wet bar, and insulated wine cellar. Newly painted inside and out and newly refinished hardwood floors in 2011. Zip right onto Rt. 2, minutes to Alewife, or head into Arlington Center to enjoy the many restaurants. The special location will make you feel like you’re on vacation every time you come home. Offered at $929,000. Open house Saturday, May 7 1:00-3:00 pm and Sunday, May 8 1:00-3:00 pm. Private showings by appointment starting Friday afternoon. Use contact button, above.
