*****  ELEGANT TWO-FAMILY FOR SALE IN ARLINGTON HISTORIC DISTRICT *****

Beautifully restored two-family in Arlington's Broadway Historic District.
Conveniently situated a few blocks from the MBTA, Arlington Center, and Ben &
Jerry's!  Two-car garage and parking for four additional cars provides
hassle-free living.  The large level lot means you still get to enjoy having a
yard - there's even a shady spot to put your hammock.  There's also an enclosed
sun porch to retreat to when you want even more solitude.

This house is in move-in condition.  Plus, the brand new heating systems and
complete new insulation help keep energy bills low.  High rental income of
$1350/month means you can live here in elegance without bankrupting yourself.
For example, assuming 20% down, a 30 yr. mortgage at 8% amounts to an
approximate mortgage payment of $1870/month; that means your share is only
$520/month (that's the price of renting a one bedroom basement apartment in
Arlington!)

Layout/Features of this unique house:

Two bedrooms, modern bath, large fully-applianced kitchen, dining room, living
room, and enclosed sun porch in first floor apartment.  Two bedrooms and modern
bath, large fully applianced kitchen, living room, and enclosed sun porch on
the second floor.  The third bedroom of this unit is located on the third
floor; it contains a loft/suite with its own bath, skylights and huge walk-in
closet. 

Both units have gleaming, refinished oak hardwood floors.  The sun porches,
front hallway, second floor stairs, and third floor suite sport new      
carpeting.  The second floor kitchen also has a new linoleum floor.     

Excellent washer and dryer are located in the basement.  Two new oil boilers
and burners are also located here.  The basement is huge--plenty of storage
place for EVERYTHING you own.

The two car garage is oversized, allowing you space for two cars, bikes, skis,
and other goodies.   The electric garage doors with overhead lighting provide
easy access.  You also won't have to scrape any ice and snow off your cars in
the winter.

The front porch was just replaced.  The fir decking and pressure-treated base
support the fine historic Greek-revival pillars.  It's ready for you to set out
your lawn chairs and relax.

This house, located at 266 Broadway, is priced to sell at $318K.
