Everybody loves Raymond St. charmer
Finding that just-right home in the Boston-area real estate market right now can be quite a hunt, especially if you’re looking for that elusive not-too-big, not-toosmall space.
More so, buyers looking to avoid condos and skyrocketing HOA fees face even greater challenges. So 21 Raymond St., in Medford could not have come on the market at a better time. The sunny and recently renovated single-family is that “Goldilocks” home — the ideal nexus of square footage, private outdoor space and accessibility.
The home’s thoroughly modern face-lift takes full advantage of the abundance of windows on the first level. The open-concept floor plan makes the kitchen and living room area look even roomier, and the eat-in island adds flexibility and a great “home base” for entertaining. Cute, functional and with room to spare, the kitchen renovation includes sleek light fixtures, gleaming white cabinetry and all stainless steel appliances.
What’s often missing from single-family homes with smaller footprints is a separate dining room. Not here. The first floor includes a window-lined formal dining area with brick fireplace.
The master bedroom on the second floor features double closets and shares a refreshed bathroom with stylish herringbone tile with the home’s two other bedrooms.
Kicking back after a long day or on the weekends couldn’t be easier. The home’s laid-back three-season porch leads to a cheerful yard and an oversized stone patio, a prime setting for a late-summer barbecue.
Open house hours are Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The sale of the single-family, priced at $550,000, is being handled by Aurielle Kallmerten with SellBoston at 617-913-2772.
