Generous and handsome, this upper duplex with a 2017 soup-to-nuts renovation offers modern sophistication while elevating historic charm in this prime neighborhood on the Medford/Somerville line. This 3+ bed /2 bath home boasts swoon-worthy wainscoting, stained glass, 4 bay windows, hardwood floors, designer lighting, plus antique finishes. The floor plan offers ease and flow from living, dining, to kitchen, with 2 bedrooms tucked on the second floor with a shared bath and a primary bedroom with spa bath on the third. The fabulous standout features are the multiple extra sun-filled bonus rooms for countless flexible uses: a large den in the front, a windowed oasis in the back, a warm refuge plus vaulted office in the penthouse. A private porch is perfect for that morning brew, 2 parking spots for ease, and a shared yard for some urban gardens. The picturesque one-way street is steps to nearby bustle of Tufts, Green Line, buses, parks, cafes, and shopping.
