For anyone looking for a comfortably sized, turn-key, updated single family home located in a highly desirable and arcadian corner of Medford, 19 Newton Road has the goods.

First, the home itself. From its impeccably cared for siding and trim, to the newer architecturally shingled roof the home’s exterior is in excellent condition from foundation to roof. Fully insulated with double glazed windows, it’s an exceptionally efficient home too. Enter the home through a bright and spacious mudroom with warm inlaid wood accent ceiling and step into the foyer. To your left, a wooden ceiling beam accented and wood fireplaced living room. To your right, a sitting room (previously was the dining room before the addition) with some built-in versatility. And straight ahead, past the half bath & center stairwell to the upper levels, lies the renovated kitchen, breakfast bar, and window surrounded dining area, with access to a lovely wooden deck from which you can enjoy your morning coffee and some remarkable avian thoroughfare passing through from Mystic Lake on route to the Middlesex Fells.

The second level features two bedrooms: The primary bedroom, with ensuite bath, is large enough for king-sized bed & desk area. The sizable second bedroom connects to a finished (and insulated) sunroom. Rounding out the second floor are another full bathroom and large storage closet. Up one more flight to the 3rd floor and you’ll find two also good sized, sky-lit bedrooms, each with modern ceiling fans. It’s at this point you’ll realize that the complete insulation and AC really keep the whole home pleasantly climatized.

Part of the basement had been finished several owners ago, so there are remnants of a once finished basement. The current owners were happy to have it for storage and laundry. But a new owner would have options!

We hear the words “location, location, location” so often in this industry that they can sometimes lose their meaning. With 19 Newton Road, we can genuinely crow about a great location. A sleepy little side street in a very desirable part of West Medford and close to the commuter rail. It’s a stone’s throw from Mystic Lake with swimming at Shannon Beach, Brooks Estate, and Playstead Park and under 2 miles from The Middlesex Fells Reservation, a 2200 acre woodland full of trails.

In addition to being in excellent condition and above average in energy efficiency, 19 Newton also comes with a fairly recently installed (and paid for) array of solar panels. With a mini-split heating and cooling system (there is also a less-than-5-year-old gas fired steam heating system which, at this point, is almost supplemental) and a solar panel to power it, your energy costs will be through the floor, not the roof.

19 Newton Road will be available for viewings by appointment from Sunday, July 24 through Wednesday morning, July 27th. Open house times for Sunday and possibly Monday will be posted here and on MLS by Wednesday, July 20.
