About this home

For those who can see the potential. Just a 10-minute walk to Alewife, this East Arlington single family Cape sits beside the Minuteman Bike Path and Thorndike Dog Park—an uncommon combination that’s hard to find. In need of updates, with much of the work cosmetic, it’s a manageable project with the chance to build equity over time. The home offers approximately 1,337 square feet with 5 rooms, 3 bedrooms, and 1 bath, along with a large basement with laundry, enclosed rear porch, and low-maintenance vinyl exterior. Roof approximately 7 years old and newer hot water tank. Fenced backyard with an additional enclosed area—ideal for Fido—with the park right next door, plus two-car parking. Close to Magnolia Park, Mass Ave shops and restaurants, and everyday conveniences, all at a price point more commonly seen in condos. A unique opportunity to reimagine a home in one of East Arlington’s most connected spots.
