Property Details Welcome to 10 Governor Road, where timeless 1927 character, thoughtful updates and wooded privacy come together on a quiet cul-de-sac. Step inside and natural light welcomes you into warm living and dining spaces with easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. Sun-drenched windows overlook a dappled pollinator garden alive with birds and wildlife, inviting the beauty of the outdoors into the home. The spacious and renovated kitchen blends style and function, perfect for cooking and entertaining. A charming office framed by windows and French doors offers an idyllic retreat to work or read while overlooking a neighborhood green space. A climate controlled mudroom and first-floor half bath add everyday practicality. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms and renovated full bath with radiant heat flooring create a peaceful private living space. Since 2023, the owners have enhanced the home with meaningful investments in comfort, efficiency and peace of mind. Improvements include a new roof, 3-zone Mitsubishi heat pump system, 200-amp electrical service, extensive plumbing and water-pressure upgrades, refinished hardwood floors, custom light-filtering window treatments, new exterior stair treads, and extensive hardscaping and landscaping. Step outside and discover another extension of the home - a backyard oasis designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Against a tree covered outcropping, new cedar fencing encloses a spacious yard with lawn, peastone patio and firepit. Corten-steel edging creates a tasteful terrace with native flowers, and surrounding planters appeal to the senses with culinary herbs. Start the day with coffee and birdsong on the patio, pick raspberries, blueberries, and pears for summer dinners, or settle around the fire on a crisp New England evening. When it?s time to venture out, the best of Arlington is close at hand. Walk to nearby Stratton Elementary, Arlington High School, Arlington Community Orchard and Turkey Hill, or head into Arlington Center and Arlington Heights for favorite restaurants, cafés, shops and neighborhood markets. The Minuteman Bikeway connects you to the Reservoir, Spy Pond, Alewife and miles of recreation beyond, while convenient access to Route 2 makes Cambridge and Boston easily accessible. It?s a location that offers the rare combination of neighborhood connection, outdoor recreation and everyday convenience. A special home where timeless character, modern comfort and nature come together? and where a peaceful, private setting never means sacrificing convenience. Showings begin Thursday. Offers due Tuesday, September 29 at 10:00 a.m.
