About this home
RARE FIND in Arlington's coveted Jason Heights neighborhood... 5-level Colonial Revival hidden behind a classic New England Cape façade. Prominently perched on a large corner lot, 0.5 mile from Menotomy Rocks Park, complete with ATTACHED 2-car garage! This home offers architectural character you simply cannot replicate. From the graceful winding staircase to the rich knotty pine millwork, every turn reveals another detail you’re destined to fall in love with. Step into the foyer and find yourself immediately drawn to the 27' living room featuring exposed beams and a dramatic knotty pine wall that frames a wood-burning fireplace. Adjoining the living room, a south-facing sunken sunroom is found, wrapped in windows that flood the space with an abundance of natural light - a perfect place to sip your morning coffee! The floor plan flows seamlessly connecting a bow-windowed dining room to the kitchen, making entertaining effortless! The kitchen features custom hardwood cabinetry, a Miele gas cooktop, wall oven and a cozy arched breakfast nook. The kitchen door opens directly to the fenced yard and in-ground pool area. A dedicated home office encased with knotty pine and a convenient 1/2 bath complete this level. Level 2 houses three spacious bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet! The sun-filled 26' primary bedroom feels like a private retreat, with dedicated sitting room, en-suite bath, custom built-ins, multiple closets, and a secret door that leads to the walk-up attic. A center hall open to below, a tiled full bath with tub, and a linen closet complete the second floor. The lower level offers a laundry area, open space, garage access, and a 30' bonus room! The bonus room showcases a gorgeous stone fireplace encased by knotty-pine walls, custom built-ins, and a door that leads to a walk-out basement. The lower levels & walk-up attic offer exciting expansion opportunities with possibility for an in-law suite, ADU, or guest quarters with the added benefit of private access in the basement. This is a particularly appealing opportunity for those seeking multigenerational living, a private space for extended family, or a separate area for guests while maintaining privacy throughout the main residence. Freshly painted inside and out with newly refinished hardwood floors, this distinctive home is ready for its next chapter! Brackett School district. 2 mins to Rt 2. A house this special won't last long. Come to the Open Houses!! OH: Sat 10/24 & Sun 10/25: 1:30pm-3pm
Jason Heights, located between Arlington Center and East Arlington, is a residential and walkable Arlington neighborhood with leafy side streets and a compact commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Massachusetts Avenue near Jason Street, where corner cafés, independent shops, and everyday services keep the sidewalks active. Local pillars include Kickstand Cafe, the Capitol Theatre, and Menotomy Grill & Tavern. Housing reads as classic Greater Boston: wood-frame multi-families, tidy porches, and small yards set along a gentle rise. Spy Pond Park and the Minuteman Bikeway shape daily routines with water views and a long, car-free route. A steady rhythm of buses along Mass Ave links the area to nearby squares and Cambridge.
