Medford Home of the Week: 43 Spring St.

This spacious four/five bedroom colonial on Spring St. could be one of the best values on the Medford real estate market today. Falling right within the mid-range of available properties, this home offers its residents incredibly generous dimensions, many valuable updates, a versatile floor plan and a welcoming residence bursting with period character.

Its 1,612 square feet of living space is nicely distributed throughout three levels resourcefully utilizing its liberal footprint. The first level includes gleaming hardwood flooring with a formal entry foyer, an inviting living room with French and pocket doors, a charming fireplaced dining area and a large renovated eat-in kitchen with crisp, white cabinets, plenty of counter space and an open floor plan. It also offers a semi-finished bonus room that leads to an oversized deck and private, fenced-in backyard.

The second level boasts four large bedrooms and a full, tiled bath while the third story provides another bedroom, the ideal private venue for a teenager or even a home office.

Prospective homebuyers will also be impressed with this home's lifestyle trimmings that include a charming front enclosed porch, beautifully landscaped shielded lot and significant modernizations, such as a young driveway and roof, updated electrical system and new replacement windows.

This property has been on the real estate market for three short weeks which is very surprising considering the amount of home offered for the price. This prospect is a great example that the quality vintage homes in Medford continue to present solid, timeless structures and how current owners recognize their value and responsibility to preserve this city's notable residential legacy.
