Putting Green

  • 92 College Ave, Arlington - $570 (Sold for $537)
    Only house we've heard of with a backyard putting green. Also includes a swimming pool and (broken) hot tub. The lot is severely sloped. There is yard, but it is largely taken up by the pool, tub and green. The kitchen is Helen's dream: 22x28 w/ a large granite counter, gas stove, double oven and space for two fridges. The living room is not quite as large, but still roomy with hardwood floors and a fireplace. The master bedroom is reasonably large (10x16), has its own bath, but limited closet space. The other two bedrooms are decent size (appx. 10x12) with good closet space. The basement is finished, but a bit funny. One section is raised (step up) and there is a distinct office which could alternatively be used as a large closet. The systems are accessed via a tiny door off the raised section. There is space to stand up, but it is cramped. There is a 2-car garage. The "front" entrance is on the side and feels haphazard; in particular, water was dripping from the roof, making the steps extra slippery. A killer is the road and driveway. The road is very steep; entering the driveway requires a 120-degree turn. The driveway is somewhat steep and there is minimal room to turn around. Backing-out would be no fun for Helen.
