About this home

Come fall in love with this truly warm and lovely Colonial! Conveniently located in Medford's top-rated Brooks school district, on a desirable side street and just steps from Playstead Park, the Commuter Rail station, and West Medford Square's shops and restaurants - including Bistro 5! This colonial has all the charm and character you'd expect in an early 20th century home but is thoughtfully updated with the modern conveniences today's buyers are looking for. Updates include replacement windows throughout, refinished hardwood floors, and granite counters topping custom maple cabinets in the kitchen and dining room. Smart systems and structural improvements include full insulation, updated heating, natural gas stove, new oil tank, electricity, roof, and plumbing.
