Beautifully updated & impeccably maintained, this distinctive Split Entry home occupies a lovely lot on a tranquil cul-de-sac in a highly sought-after, desirable North Medford location. Pride of ownership shines inside & out: from the thoughtfully cared-for exterior to the bright, tastefully appointed interior, where oversized & custom windows invite gorgeous natural light into generously proportioned living spaces. Hardwood floors enhance the home's warmth & character, while the open main-level design creates a wonderful sense of space & flow. A spacious living room with handsome brick fireplace opens to a stylish kitchen featuring hardwood & marble flooring & a seamless connection to the dining room, where doors lead to a cozy deck overlooking the lovely yard. Two generously sized bedrooms, both with double closets, & a full bath complete this level, offering the added benefit of convenient single-level living. The finished lower level is equally impressive, featuring an expansive fireplaced family room, second full bath, laundry & direct access to the one-car garage. For added versatility, the seller will install a wall to create a third bedroom if desired. Ample driveway parking further enhances the appeal. Enjoy the serenity of this cul-de-sac setting while remaining close to major routes – including I-93, Middlesex Fells, Wright's Pond, shops, restaurants, transportation & Boston. An exceptionally cared-for home with the space, flexibility & location that make it truly special.
