About this home

West Medford gem! From the landscaped corner lot to its move-in ready interior, this home checks all the boxes! Notable features include lovely wood flooring, period details, renovated kitchen and baths, and a charming fenced yard with patio and gorgeous plantings. The main floor has a flowing layout with living room, dining, kitchen, powder room and a bonus sunroom. Upstairs are two large bedrooms and one smaller bedroom/home office plus full bath. Full basement has laundry and plenty of storage. Detached garage and driveway off Dianne Road. Superb neighborhood setting just a stone's throw from Playstead Park, with Brooks Elementary, Medford High School, West Medford Square and the Commuter Rail all under a mile from home. The Fells and Mystic Lakes offer great opportunities for recreation, and between Medford itself and nearby Arlington, Cambridge, and Somerville, you'll never run out of great restaurant, cafe and entertainment options.
