On one of Arlington's premier streets, sits 50 Academy, a magnificent center entrance colonial with private yard. Enter into the gracious foyer adjoining the elegant front to back living room, with coffered ceiling and grand wood burning fireplace. Incredible light throughout with craftsmen style windows. A large updated, eat-in kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite counters and s/s appliances connects to the formal dining room with original built in. Head up the central staircase, with gorgeous stained glass, to 4 corner bedrooms. The first has a sleeping porch to enjoy cool summer breezes, and the oversized primary is a sanctuary to retreat to at the end of the day. The third floor with office and storage could be reimagined into a suite. Outside, the covered porch with ipe flooring overlooks the private yard with treetop views. Central A/C, 200 Amp electric, wired for generator, gas boiler. Walk to Arlington center amenities including restaurants, library and coffee shops!
