Arlington Home of the Week: 280 Summer St.

This lovely three bedroom Cape is already an appealing residential acquisition with its spacious, resourceful design and amenities, but with its recent price reduction, it is a purchase potential homebuyers will not want to pass by. It has also received many major upgrades so pricey maintenance costs will not be forwarded for the next owners. All of these features are major priorities on a valuation checklist, and in this home, each area has a beneficial answer.

Four common rooms are located on the first level: a lovely living room, an intimate dining area, rustic eat-in kitchen with exposed brick and a charming sunroom with walls of windows and painted bead board for a sunny, cheerful setting. The master bedroom and full bath are also conveniently located on this floor for residents who prefer or require single-floor living. The second story hosts two additional generously-sized bedrooms and a half bath.

The finished basement level and rear grounds are excellent resources for recreational and leisure activities with a spacious family room with a fully equipped wet bar and the outdoor fenced-in landscape includes a deck, in-ground pool and a gas line for grilling, which are all shielded by flourishing mature plantings.

As mentioned, this property has received many recent worthwhile improvements, including replacement windows and a new hot water heater and central air conditioning. It is also handily located near public transportation, major highways, schools, shopping, restaurants and the popular Minuteman Bike Trail. Within its walls, its outdoor offerings and opportune location, this property has it all.
