Welcome to 47 Whitney Rd in Medford’s Lawrence Estates. This well cared for side-entrance Colonial offers 1,521 square feet of living space with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a semi-finished third-floor walk-up with expansion potential. The main level features a bright, functional layout and a covered, enclosed porch off the living room that extends the usable space. The tiled full bath offers a clean, classic finish, and the home has been thoughtfully maintained. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, while the walk-up attic provides flexibility for guest or office space. The basement also offers potential for additional living area. Set on a 6,438 square foot lot, the property includes a one-car garage with a brand-new door located at the rear of the home. The driveway is currently unpaved, offering options to restore access or explore alternative uses. Conveniently located near Medford Center, local shops and Victory Field.
