Arlington Home of the Week: 6 Brattle St., Unit 6

Three units make up this charming condominium composition originally built in 1906. This specific first floor unit currently on the market offers five rooms, and two bedrooms with over 1,000 square feet of living space on one convenient level. The building still presents many of its interesting period details, including a great architectural exterior, elevated eight and a half foot ceilings, built-ins and original woodwork, but has also been nicely updated with refinished hardwood floors, oversized insulated windows drenching the space with natural sunlight and pristine neutral paint finishes throughout.

The approximate room dimensions include a 13 x 11 square foot living room, a spacious 12 x 13 square foot formal dining area with a built-in china cabinet, a 12 x 10 square foot eat-in kitchen with a pantry, an 11 x 11 square foot master bedroom, an 11 x 10 square foot second bedroom and a full bath. An inviting porch expands the living options outdoors during warmer months within a quiet, private setting at the rear of the house.

This location is great for commuters, families or residents or prefer to be close to local activities with its handy address in Brattle Square, and it is only seconds to the "T," the Minuteman Bike Trail and Stratton Elementary School and a five minute drive to Alewife Station. The purchase of this unit also includes off-street parking for one vehicle and provides plenty of storage space.

It's not very often for a condominium to become available that can effortlessly and attractively combine an hospitable slice of vintage Arlington real estate with its robust structural roots and combine that history with modern renovations that appeal to today's homebuyers. This very affordable property satisfies both those requests and offers a stellar location that is conducive to many lifestyles.
