4 Arlington St

A turn-of-the-century, single-story condominium property dating to 1904, located in Cambridge’s Avon Hill area. The building preserves period details—high ceilings, hardwood floors and crown moldings are commonly reported in units—while offering a mix of layouts from studios and one-bed garden units to larger multi-room three-bedroom flats. Residences open into welcoming foyers and often feature classical elements such as fireplaces, French doors, built-in shelving and butler’s pantries adjacent to eat-in kitchens. Shared spaces are modest and residential in scale, including a media room and a landscaped outdoor area with a deck, enclosed patio and fenced yard that provides private garden access for ground-level units. Practical building services are typical of a well-managed condo association: on-site laundry, zipcar access nearby, and association maintenance that covers heat and hot water in some units. Parking is limited but available at select units through assigned off-street spaces. The property sits on a quiet, tree-lined stretch near Mass Ave, offering immediate pedestrian access to Porter and Harvard Squares, public transit (Red Line, commuter rail), neighborhood shops and universities, creating a walkable, academically oriented urban setting.
