Some homes are simply updated. Others are entirely reimagined.
At 875 Highland Avenue, every detail has been considered to create a home that feels polished, current, and ready for the way people live today. With approximately 1,445 square feet across three finished levels, this fully renovated two-bedroom-plus residence combines sophisticated design, flexible living space, valuable system upgrades, and an extraordinary amount of outdoor space.
From the moment you arrive, the home makes a memorable impression. A crisp exterior, mature landscaping, and a welcoming approach set the tone for what awaits inside: a home that balances warmth with modern refinement.
The main level unfolds through two distinct living spaces, creating an easy rhythm for both everyday life and entertaining. One room may become the heart of conversation, while the other offers a more relaxed setting for reading, television, or quiet retreat. Hardwood flooring, contemporary lighting, and a fresh neutral palette give the interior a clean, elevated feel without sacrificing comfort.
At the center of it all is the chef-inspired kitchen—a space designed to be both beautiful and hardworking. Rich cabinetry, quartz surfaces, stainless-steel appliances, gas cooking, and an oversized center island create a striking focal point for the home.
This is the kind of kitchen that invites people to gather. Morning coffee happens at the island. Dinner unfolds with ease. Conversations continue long after the meal is finished. It is stylish enough to impress and practical enough to support daily life.
Nearby, the dining area is filled with natural light and connects effortlessly to the outdoor spaces, allowing the home to move easily from indoor living to open-air entertaining.
Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a renovated full bath create a comfortable private retreat. Each room offers flexibility for a range of furnishings and storage needs, while the overall design remains calm, cohesive, and thoughtfully finished.
The lower level adds another dimension to the home. A dedicated office and separate bonus room provide valuable space for remote work, exercise, creative pursuits, media, gaming, or recreation. These additional rooms allow the property to live well beyond a traditional two-bedroom layout.
What truly sets 875 Highland Avenue apart is the land.
Set on an impressive double lot, the property offers a sense of space that is increasingly rare in Medford. The expansive grounds offer opportunities for outdoor dining, gardening, entertaining, recreation, and quiet moments amid mature greenery.
A spacious deck extends the living area outdoors, providing a natural setting for summer dinners, weekend gatherings, or a peaceful start to the day.
The size of the lot also adds long-term appeal and may present future possibilities, subject to municipal requirements, permitting, and buyer due diligence.
The transformation of the home goes well beyond surface finishes.
Major improvements include a new roof, a new central air-conditioning system, and a new hot water tank, providing valuable upgrades to the home’s comfort, efficiency, and infrastructure.
The property is also equipped with leased solar panels that reportedly provide approximately 80% of the current owner’s electricity needs. Actual production and savings will vary depending on future usage, weather conditions, utility rates, and the terms of the transferable solar agreement.
Together, these improvements create a home that feels move-in ready not only in appearance, but in function.
Beyond the property itself, the location offers one of North Medford’s most compelling lifestyles.
The Middlesex Fells Reservation is nearby, placing miles of wooded trails, scenic landscapes, cycling routes, and the waters of Spot Pond within easy reach. Morning walks, weekend hikes, paddling, and time outdoors can become part of the regular rhythm of life here.
The surrounding area offers even more opportunities to connect with the outdoors. The Mystic Lakes and Medford Boat Club add access to boating, sailing, and waterfront recreation, while Stone Zoo provides another distinctive destination just beyond the Fells in neighboring Stoneham.
Local restaurants, coffee shops, markets, neighborhood businesses, and everyday conveniences can be found throughout Medford, Malden, Stoneham, and the surrounding communities. Downtown Medford, West Medford, and Malden Center each contribute their own mix of dining, shopping, and community character.
This is a location that offers variety: nature when you want it, neighborhood energy when you need it, and access to Greater Boston always within reach.
For travel to Boston, the home offers convenient access to Interstate 93, providing a direct route to Somerville, Cambridge, Charlestown, and downtown Boston.
The nearby Orange Line stations at Oak Grove and Malden Center provide an additional option for reaching North Station, Haymarket, Downtown Crossing, Back Bay, and other destinations throughout the city.
The location is equally well suited for a reverse commute. Access to Interstate 93, Interstate 95/Route 128, and Route 3 connects the property with the major technology, life-science, healthcare, and corporate employment centers in Burlington, Woburn, Bedford, Wilmington, and the surrounding Route 128 corridor.
Business campuses farther north, including Raytheon’s operations in Andover, are also accessible through the regional highway network.
Whether the day leads into Boston or north toward the region’s innovation corridor, 875 Highland Avenue offers the flexibility to move in either direction.
Fully renovated, thoughtfully designed, and set on an unusually generous lot, 875 Highland Avenue brings together the elements buyers value most: a chef-inspired kitchen, flexible living space, modern systems, energy-conscious improvements, exceptional outdoor space, and a location close to recreation, transportation, and major employment centers.
It is a home that feels polished yet comfortable, connected yet spacious, and ready for whatever comes next.
