Malden restoration hits right notes
Victorian-ish curb appeal, an optimal location in the heart of Malden Center, and a long list of updates make 54 Brackenbury Street in Malden a must-see for anyone looking to get out — but not too far out — of Boston.
The meticulously maintained home has undergone a thoughtful restoration that kept its period charm — a cozy front porch, decorative roof gable, and bay windows keep the property’s historic character intact.
An open and versatile floor plan on the main level highlights a set of oversized bay windows that flood the living room with natural light. A mantled fireplace transitions the area into a dining space before flowing into a semi-open kitchen that allows for easy entertaining (and snacking).
The kitchen is a home cook’s dream, boasting stainless steel appliances, lots of storage, and a convenient eat-in island. The recently enlarged back deck is ready for your summer grilling — warm weather is coming, we swear.
With 3-4 bedrooms, including a desirable first floor bedroom, the home offers growing families a ton of flexibility without sacrificing the presence of a lavish primary suite. The latter enjoys a contemporary en-suite bath with all the trimmings including a standalone tub and glassed-in shower.
Restoration efforts included updates to insulation, wiring, plumbing, and an HVAC with two zones. Along with a young roof, 54 Brackenbury is as turnkey as it gets so you can move right in.
Step outside to your professionally landscaped front and backyard—a retreat to relax and unwind by a fire pit. The two-car garage adds convenience, as does proximity to the T and community bike path.
