88 Park Ave

A single-story conversion of the 1898 Locke School, this condominium community adapts historic schoolhouse architecture into two-bedroom residences with preserved period detail. The low-rise property emphasizes exposed brick, high ceilings, wide windows, decorative archways and other original masonry features that create loft-like living volumes. Units typically offer open or flexible floor plans with formal dining areas, step-down living rooms or raised great rooms, fitted country-style kitchens with upgraded stone counters and appliances, in-unit laundry and abundant custom storage such as cedar closets and built-ins. Common interior amenities reflect a blend of preserved character and modern convenience: elevator access, remodeled bathrooms, recessed lighting, home office/loft spaces and broadband-ready infrastructure. Exterior spaces include professionally landscaped grounds, private patios or enclosed garden areas for ground-floor units, decorative site lighting and screened outdoor seating. The condominium association provides garage/assigned parking spaces, on-site storage bins, professional management and a pet-friendly policy. Located in Arlington Heights, the building sits within walking distance of local shops, restaurants, the Minuteman Bike Path and MBTA bus service to Harvard Square and Alewife, offering a neighborhood-oriented, transit-accessible lifestyle anchored by historic charm.
