About this home

Extensively renovated inside and out, with all-new kitchens, baths, plumbing, electrical, walls, windows, lighting, and HVAC, plus a new roof, siding, and paint, this two-family in Medford’s Glenwood neighborhood preserves its original character while offering two spacious 3-bed, 3-bath units and four off-street parking spaces. It’s ideal for an owner-occupant looking to live in one unit and rent the other, or for an investor seeking a turnkey property with strong rental appeal and no near-term capital expenses. Unit 1 spans the main and lower levels. High ceilings and refinished hardwood floors set the tone on the main floor, where a kitchen with warm walnut-toned cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances anchors an open plan with a dining area and generous living room. A main-level bedroom and full bath suit guests, single-level living, or a home office. The finished lower level adds new wood flooring, two en-suite bedrooms (including a primary with a separate sitting/dressing area and walk-in glass shower), laundry hookups, and storage. Unit 2 occupies the sun-filled top two floors. Its matching kitchen features a generous island and full-size dining area, opening to a spacious living room with hardwood floors and high ceilings. This level also includes a bedroom and a home office that opens onto a private porch. Upstairs are a bright front bedroom, an expansive primary suite with room to sleep, lounge, or work, plus laundry hookups and storage. Both units feature three baths with heated tile floors, tiled shower surrounds, and Delta fixtures, along with all-electric mini-split heating/cooling, EV charger wiring, and smart entry with Ring doorbell. Outside, a shared yard includes a private pergola for each unit, and each unit has two parking spaces. With separate laundry, parking, and outdoor space, each household enjoys real privacy, and two large, renovated units in a commuter-friendly location are well positioned to appeal to a broad pool of renters. Located near bus access to the Orange Line (Wellington/Malden Center), with quick I-93 access to Boston and Logan (~10 minutes), and Target, Wegmans, Medford Square, and the Mystic River Reservation all within about a mile.
