Come fall in love with this mid-century modern style home nestled into rock and located in a new and booming Malden. The cathedral wood ceilings throughout, along with floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room make for an airy, bright atmosphere. Renovations include a contemporary style kitchen with a custom island, backsplash and pulls, foyer with a fireplace and sliding barn doors, both bathrooms, and patio with custom designed railings. There are hardwood floors all through the house and a central brick chimney with two fireplaces. Everything about this home feels cool and chic, and it does not disappoint when you step outside. The gorgeous Ipe front walkway, sophisticated patio with a fire pit for outdoor living. You are steps away from the Middlesex Fells Reservation and an eight-minute walk to the Oak Grove train stop. It's walkable to Malden Center, with great restaurants and a short drive to I-93, yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet, suburban environment.
