Arlington Heights Colonial a rustic redoubt for under $800,000

The nine-room, 2,064-square-foot Colonial at 22 Elmore Street in Arlington’s Arlington Heights is surrounded by a terraced yard that gives the entire spread the appearance of a leafy, rustic redoubt amid the Boston area’s bustle.

The pile, which dates from 1925 and which has the potential for up to five bedrooms, is asking $799,000 through Bowes Real Estate.

That’s a relative bargain—$387 and change a square foot—in today’s market. But you have to like hills.
