Medford bungalow a garden of delight
Despite its magnificent garden spaces, you don’t have to wait until the spring blooming season to fall in love with the cute, late 1920s bungalow at 151 Walsh St. in Medford.
The single-family home is modest — a few hairs shy of 1,000 square feet — but it manages to pack in a lot of flexible living space, plus tons of expansion possibilities.
Only a few minutes from Interstate 93, but also a 10minute walk from a bus stop that takes you right to the Orange Line, the home enjoys a tremendous location that is also close to recreation and outdoor space at Wright’s Pond and Carr Park.
An entryway with enviable mudroom possibilities welcomes you home, where a dining area and living room enjoy period built-ins, refinished hardwood floors and light pouring in from a set of triple windows. In the summer months, a ceiling fan and central air keep things cool. Even cooler: the fun eat-in kitchen that maintains a vintage vibe but has a ton of updated touches. Two good-sized bedrooms and a refreshed bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile and a huge glassed-in shower complete the home’s first floor.
But there’s so much more. A semi-finished walkout basement offers lots of expansion opportunities for a den or playroom.
As move-in ready as 151 Walsh St. is on the inside, the outdoor space is where the home dazzles, especially when the Englishstyle garden is in bloom. Step into the backyard when the vines, flowers, and manicured shrubs are on full display and it’s like stepping into another world. Two separate patio areas are perfect for hosting your summer barbecues or enjoying a weekend brunch while listening to birds and admiring dozens of colorful blossoms. Avid gardeners, woodworkers, and DIYers will love working in the shed, complete with electricity.
Open house hours are Saturday and Sunday from noon to 2 p.m.
The sale of the home, priced at $449,900, is being handled by Kristin Weekley with LAER Realty Partners, 781-454-8493.
