166 Sylvia St Arlington MA Every time I walk into this house it makes me happy - really happy - joyful even. That's the way you want to feel when you come home. Looking for a house - a home - that makes your heart sing? Here it is.
You can tell this house was built with quality and it's been meticulously maintained by long time owners. It gleams - every surface looks just like it did when new.
The house is bright and cheery inside and beautifully landscaped outside with a level side yard. Sylvia Street is cut in half and this house sits at one end of the upper half of the road. It's a quiet and serene setting - sit back and listen to the birds sing!
The expensive items have been taken care of here - the roof was new in 2001 and the high efficiency boiler was installed in 2006. Windows have been replaced and the house is vinyl sided.
The seller remembers that the oak floors were in marvelous condition when the wall-to-wall carpet was installed in the mid-1960s. No pets have lived here since so the rugs have protected the hardwood floors for decades. The rug has been pulled up in the corner of one bedroom where you can see the beautiful floor beneath.
Three bedrooms, a spacious eat-in kitchen, living room with fireplace and a full bath are on the main level. Downstairs is a surprise with great bonus space. There's a family room with fieldstone fireplace and built-ins, a summer kitchen with knotty-pine cabinets, laundry, a half bath and access to the garage. The lower level is dry - even throughout the monsoons we experienced in Arlington this spring.
166 Sylvia Street is in Arlington Heights, close to the Lexington line. Buses to Harvard Square and the Alewife T station stop just two blocks away and the Minuteman Bike Path is close by.
