This traditional colonial represents not only the rich history of New England residential construction, it embodies the legacy of Arlington's past. The classic, no nonsense styling seamlessly blends comfort with practicality, making the most out of its interior dimensions with ten spacious rooms, within three levels and 2,073 square feet of living space.

The first floor consists of four common rooms and a half bath. The 23 x 24 square foot fireplaced living room is drenched in sunshine yellow and contrasted with white moldings and wainscoting. Glass French doors lead into a lovely, warm family room that is lined with cranberry walls that generates a relaxed, setting and envelops all who enter and . The spacious 14 x 10 eat-in kitchen is bright and airy with crisp white and sage green tones, an abundance of counter space and contains an adjacent pantry and half bath. The formal dining area makes a dramatic statement with rich, red walls and also provides the option for extended table space from the bay windows for holidays and entertaining.

The upper levels boast five generously-sized bedrooms, each painted in calming, soothing hues, that could easily accommodate larger families or be utilized in various living options, such as an office, study, fitness room or den. The second level offers the master and two additional bedrooms and a full bath, while the two bedrooms on the top floor could be utilized for private teenager spaces or home offices.
