Arlington Home of the Week: 107 George St.

There are not many single-family residential choices in Arlington with this advantageous price point on the market today. That's the good news. The even better news is that this property is not only a valuable and smart investment, it offers a convenient and spacious floor plan, has while beautifully updated still offers remnants of its past, its history and durability.

Bedrooms are conveniently located on both floors for residents who prefer or require single-floor living. Actually the master bedroom, full bath and additional bedrooms are sited on this floor and if not needed, the secondary space would make the perfect den. Privacy for residents or guests is also available within this charming home with a rustic, paneled bedroom and bonus room on the second floor.

Although quaint in size, this property boasts fluid, open spaces both inside and out. The welcoming red front door opens into a large living room that spills effortlessly into a surprisingly oversized bright, airy eat-in kitchen with an abundance of counter and cabinet space and gleaming hardwood floors. A side egress from the kitchen also provides convenient access to the wrap-around rear deck that overlooks the private wooded landscape filled with mature plantings and trees.

Aside from its lodging comforts and advantages, this home's Arlington Heights location supplies many other benefits to its residents. For commuters, the appeal lies within its convenient access to four bus lines, Rte. 2 and local colleges, such as Harvard, MIT, Lesley and Tufts. For recreation and leisure, it is also situated near local shopping, restaurants and Robbins Farm. The valuable features of this property include and stretch far beyond its location. It has secured its residents for over 60 years and received many appealing upgrades and renovations, yet still remains one of the cornerstone properties in town as a classic representation of residential durability, fine craftsmanship and hospitality.
