78 Margaret St

Spacious, sunny, 3-bedroom/1-bathroom de-leaded apartment in two-family house in East Arlington. Absolutely ideal location: house is on the bike path and very close to the Rte-2 entrance. Many apartments claim to be close to Alewife, but it is hard... to get closer to Alewife than this one. Here are the apartment's features:

Renovated eat-in kitchen with tons of counter space and storage
Renovated bathroom
Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.
Gas heat
Hardwood floors are in great condition.
Washer/dryer in basement exclusive to this unit
Comes with one garage spot and one driveway spot. It's a large driveway, so there is no need to tandem park cars
It's a few blocks from Hardy Elementary School and is next to Thorndike Field.
Snow removal is paid for by the owner
Less than a 10-minute walk from Alewife
Certified lead compliant by the State of Massachusetts

I find that people are often confused about who is listing a property. This is listed directly by me, the owner, not a broker. Thus, there is no broker fee for this property. Tours can be done in person or by video. I have a video of the apartment I can share as well.
