A rare offering in one of Medford's most charming and sought-after enclaves, this distinctive home is available for the first time in over 60 years. Nestled on a beautiful tree-lined street surrounded by architecturally significant homes, it offers an exceptional blend of character, setting, and opportunity. A gracious front entry and undeniable curb appeal set the stage for interiors that have been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved with newer windows, roof, heat system, freshly painted interior and newly refinished floors. The spacious and versatile floor plan includes four bedrooms, inviting living and dining spaces, and a sunroom that brings the outdoors in. Move right in and enjoy its warmth & timeless appeal or bring your vision for a custom kitchen, baths and attic renovation, maybe even seasonal views of Boston. Terrific location moments from Medford Square, Chevalier Theatre & restaurants, yet tucked away, this cherished residence offers convenience and livability.
