14 Holton St. Unit #3

Description

All the charm and character of Beacon Hill with the convenience and quiet of West Medford. This spacious unit will delight with its abundance of sunlight, generously sized rooms and gracious details that include dentil moldings, carved woodwork and transom windows. A private balcony off the kitchen allows for quiet, outdoor space in this 2nd floor unit. 

There are beautiful hard wood floors throughout with a tiled bath. Tasefully decorated, this unit has a flexible layout to allow for a dining room. But who needs a dining room when your kitchen is 18' x 12'? Pantry area has been cleverly converted to a workstation/office. In-unit laundry and an extra storage room in the basement complete the package.

This meticulously maintained building has 6 owner-occupied units. Charming, period details such as columns at the inviting entry way add to the appeal. Ascend the wide staircase with its rich, oak detail. A low-maintenance exterior keeps the condo fee reasonable. In an age of "tear it down and build it as cheap as you can" this is a refreshing change. They just don't make 'em like this any more!

Neighborhood

West Medford is the city's "hidden gem". The most affluent of the Medford neighborhoods and home to both the Brooks and Lawrence Estates, this residential area is removed from the traffic of Medford Square and the congestion of Rte. 93. This often overlooked neighborhood offers the best of both worlds... city convenience with the quiet of parks and nature.

You are just steps to West Medford Sq. with its shops, eateries and Commuter Rail. Take the 94 bus to Davis Sq. in Somerville or the 80 bus to Lechmere Station in East Cambridge. The proposed Green Line extension site is a mere 1/2 mile away; offering yet another way for you to lower your carbon footprint.

With all the ways to get into town you may just want to get away too. But there's no need to leave home. Within close proximity are the Mystic Lakes in Winchester. Boating lessons anyone? And the Fells Reservation. Each with parks, beaches, trails and plenty of green space where you can stretch out and relax.
