This charming home exudes character while incorporating modern amenities and upgrades. It has been meticulously maintained, upgraded, and much loved. The flexible floor plan allows creative use of the rooms. Systems are updated, floors are gleaming hardwood, the front porch and steps are brand new. Two private, magical yards, with patios, provide peaceful enjoyment of nature. Deck and bridge off the master bedroom lead to a secluded space. For outdoor fun, it is conveniently located a very short distance to the bike path, Great Meadows, and parks. A lovely walk along the Cataldo Path brings you to the Arlington Reservoir Beach.  Trader Joe's, Starbucks, and Walgreens are only 1/3 of a mile away. The location is a commuters dream with bus stop at the corner of Mass Ave. and Bow St.  The 3rd bedroom (on first floor) is currently used as a dining room and owner will be happy to rebuild the wall with a door if desired. 12 Cliffe Avenue is special, surprising, and sure to welcome you home.
