About this home
Walking through the Russell Street Historic District, in the heart of Arlington Center, you will come upon the Alvin Robbins House. Built in 1868, this distinctive property was previously located on Mass. Ave. & was cut in half in 1912 to make way for the new town hall and gardens, & moved to its current location, where it was expanded. In 2002, the property was converted into the Alvin Robbins Condominiums. Unit 2, with its gracious front entrance porch is being offered for sale. An inviting foyer welcomes you into the formal living room with 10’ ceilings & gorgeous architectural details. The dining room has a working, wood burning fireplace, & the eat-in kitchen has stainless steel appliances, gas stove, pantry closet, & ½ bath with laundry. A grand staircase leads to the second floor which has 2 bedrooms & a full bath. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, oozing with charm and character, this is the one! Close to shopping, the bike path, and transportation.
