Experience the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience in this beautifully cared for, light-filled condominium. A standout feature is the large Exceptional, Exclusive-Use Yard—a private outdoor retreat rarely found in condo living. Inside, you’ll discover timeless character throughout, with gleaming hardwood floors, classic wainscoting, high ceilings and elegant lead glass accents. The home also features central air and in-unit laundry for everyday convenience.

Additional perks include basement storage, and a pet-friendly building situated steps from Medford Sq and 7 miles from downtown Boston. Close to schools, parks, and a variety of commuter options, offering the perfect balance of city access and neighborhood living, this is your a rare opportunity to enjoy outdoor space, historic charm, and modern amenities—all in one inviting package.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
