Winchester Home of the Week: 30 Arlington St.

The location of this magnificent colonial on Arlington St. is one of the best in Winchester. It is sited on nearly an acre of private land near the Winchester Country Club and fronts the picturesque golf course with tranquil views of the brook. Its location, however, is only one of many significant assets offered with the purchase of this lovely property. This traditional New England style home boasts many great venues for families and entertaining with 15 versatile rooms and a flexible floor plan filled with character for both relaxed and formal occasions and options to accommodate many personal preferences.
