A rare opportunity to own a two family home in East Arlington, one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods. The upper unit spans two levels and has been extensively remodeled with exceptional attention to detail, featuring numerous high-end upgrades, enhanced soundproofing and in-unit laundry. The scope of improvements is too extensive to capture in a listing; comprehensive upgrade sheets will be available for review. The first floor unit has also been refreshed and offers exposed brick accents, an updated bathroom and in-unit laundry, creating a comfortable and attractive living space for owners or tenants alike. Throughout the home, significant investments have been made in energy efficiency and comfort, including full insulation and soundproofing. Owned solar panels help offset electric costs, while a new roof system with architectural shingles and new gutters provide peace of mind for years to come. Outside, the property is beautifully landscaped with thoughtfully selected native plantings, creating an inviting and low-maintenance outdoor setting. Ideally located near Mass Ave, the Minuteman Bike Path, Alewife Station, and Spy Pond, this property offers the perfect combination of quality, efficiency, and convenience.
