Malden restoratio­n hits right notes

- By Miriam Schwartz

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.

The sale of the home, on the market for $1,100,000, is represente­d by The Jay McHugh Real Estate Team at LAER Realty Partners, 617-699-7442.
