📍 Location Highlights

Set right on the river, you’ll enjoy beautiful water views from the home and an unbeatable location just across from the local Farmer’s Market, the Medford Condon Shell (home to seasonal events and concerts), and nearby walking trails along the river, kayak rentals, and the best bagels in the world at Goldilox (at least in our opinion)

The property is also just two doors down from the iconic “Grandmother’s House” (the one from over the river and through the woods), adding a unique touch of local charm.
