Be thankful that this lovely home in a top location near downtown has finally graced the market! This Stately home was often used as an example of a quality Arlington colonial in the former Bowes Real Estate's marketing materials.  Your welcoming entry hall beckons you to open wide the French doors revealing a dramatic front to back living room with working fireplace and side den.  A formal dining room with corner china cabinet leads to a sprawling 2007 eat-in kitchen with oak cabinets and granite counters, desk area and half bath. You will love the 2-car garage - an unusual Arlington find. There are four to five bedrooms, depending on your needs. The roof was re-shingled in 2011, new windows and front door and entry installed in 2007, and the second-floor full bath was updated in 2001. Great for those who like to be near downtown with its library, town hall, abundance of restaurants, shopping, tennis and Buzzell Field Park. Bus routes, route 60 and Mass Ave. at your doorstep.
