Arlington Home of the Week: 31 Russell St., Unit: 31

This impressive residential opportunity offers the best of both worlds; the chance to live in a vintage Arlington property and own a piece of local architectural history, for a fraction of the cost. This three-bedroom condominium was converted this year and is one of only two units in the building. It boasts many period details, such as elevated ceilings and moldings and airy room dimensions as well as modern conveniences and designs to appeal to today's sharp homebuyer.

This townhouse offers six spacious rooms within 1,455 square feet of living space and three flexible finished levels. On the first floor, the combination 15 x 19 square foot living/dining room is an impressive and welcoming space into the home drenched with comforting blue walls and expansive measurements for streamlined entertaining. The 9 x 7 square foot chef's kitchen also contributes to the advantageous open floor plan and provides many upgraded ingredients with granite surfaces, stainless steel appliances and wood cabinets, many with glass fronts.

A pair of friendly and soothing 11 x 11 and 8 x 12 square foot bedrooms are located on the second floor soaking in the natural sunlight with soft butter walls as well as a full bath. A third 10 x 11 square foot bedroom and an 8 x 12 square foot study expand the living accommodations to a third level. Full laundry facilities are located in the basement.

Unlike many condominium units, this building also offers a private back yard, exquisite landscaping and plenty of off-street parking. As an added bonus, this gem is conveniently located in the heart of Arlington Center just blocks away from restaurants, local retailing, the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway, Buzzell Field and so much more. Arlington is one of the best-situated suburbs of Boston with a great blend of city and Metropolitan living and the quaint appeal of neighborhood living. This epoch and fresh condominium is a classic representation of the intermingled Arlington lifestyle.
