About this home

This coveted corner unit - among the larger 1BR units in Watermill Place - offers a rare sense of privacy, space, and connectivity. With no neighboring units in sight, the setting feels wonderfully secluded, yet Boston's skyline in the distance is a reminder that this is but a mere walking distance to shops and cafes along Mass Ave and an easy bike ride to Alewife MBTA. Inside, nature takes center stage as views from home capture the ever-changing panoramic scenes that shift with the seasons, bringing New England's natural beauty into daily life. The kitchen is generous for a home of this size, thoughtfully accommodating a breakfast nook framed by two windows. Bathed in natural light, it is an inviting spot for a slow morning coffee. In the living room, glass doors frame picturesque views of the surrounding landscape and open onto a private balcony, inviting an easy connection between indoor comfort and the outdoors. The primary bedroom is spacious and comes with its own en-suite full bath. Beyond the front door, same-level private storage and a parking space (#55) just steps from the entrance elevate everyday convenience. This building has impeccably maintained common areas, a gym and 8 visitor parking spots. Have long walks along the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway which runs parallel to this condo, or retreat to soak in the tranquility by Old Schwamb Mill. With Trader Joe's and Maruichi Japanese Market nearby, this home offers a lifestyle where nature and neighborhood exist in perfect balance.

More about Arlington

Arlington Profile Snapshot
Primary Vibe Quiet residential town northwest of Boston with tree-lined streets, neighborhood parks, and a modest commercial center along Massachusetts Avenue. Popular with families, professionals, and buyers seeking outdoor space and a lower-key setting with reasonable access to Cambridge and the city.
Housing Prices Prices vary by property type, condition, and location. Single-family homes and updated two-families typically command higher prices, while condominiums and properties needing work offer more approachable entry points. Lot size, parking, renovation quality, and proximity to Massachusetts Avenue influence value.
Commute to Boston MBTA bus routes along Massachusetts Avenue and surrounding streets provide direct service toward Cambridge and Boston. The Minuteman Bikeway offers a car-free option for cycling into Cambridge. Driving via Route 2 or local roads is common, though rush-hour traffic can add time. No direct subway station within the town.
Schools Served by Arlington Public Schools, which include neighborhood elementary schools, Ottoson Middle School, and Arlington High School. School assignments depend on address. The district is generally well regarded. Buyers with children should confirm current boundaries, programs, and enrollment details directly with the district.
Market Demand is supported by the town’s residential character, school reputation, and proximity to Cambridge and Boston employment centers. Single-family homes and two-families make up much of the inventory, with a smaller condominium segment. Condition, outdoor space, and location relative to the main commercial corridors influence competition and time on market.
Housing Styles Primarily older single-family homes, two- and three-family houses, and a limited number of condominium complexes or townhouse-style units. Streets closer to Massachusetts Avenue tend to be more walkable, while residential side streets offer quieter settings with yards. Newer construction is relatively uncommon.
