Discover this stylish Cape-style retreat on a serene street in Stoneham’s coveted Bear Hill neighborhood. The vibe starts at the welcoming entryway, flowing effortlessly into a chic dining room accented by classic moldings. The heart of the home is a massive, light-filled kitchen designed for hosting, featuring a sleek center island/breakfast bar with a prep sink, granite counters, and premium stainless appliances. A main-floor family room and bath keep daily living seamless. Head upstairs to find two spacious bedrooms, a second bath, and a bright, open foyer that’s perfect for a dedicated home office. The heated, finished lower level adds serious flex space for a gym or lounge, plus plenty of storage. Outside, enjoy your private, fenced-in oasis complete with a stone patio and a high-end Reeds Ferry shed. Total style meets a prime location—this one won't last. Home was originally built as a three bedroom home. Previous owners converted it to a two bedroom but it could be changed back to a three bedroom. Easy to show.
Very well maintained cape. Nice flow as soon as you walk into the house. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Good size backyard. Hardwood floors throughout the house

Bear Hill, located between Spot Pond and the Stoneham Town Common, is a residential and wooded Stoneham neighborhood with ridgeline trails and a quiet, hillside feel. Character concentrates at the Stoneham Town Common along Main Street, where independent cafés, small shops, and civic buildings set a steady, walkable rhythm. Housing reads as classic New England—cap-style homes, mid-century splits, and tidy colonials stepping up the slopes. The Middlesex Fells Reservation frames daily routines with trailheads, overlooks, and seasonal color. Stone Zoo and the Spot Pond loop add a weekend cadence of outdoor time and local outings. Community touchstones include Greater Boston Stage Company, Angelo’s Pizza, and Raso’s Bar & Grille.
