Outdoor activities, bike trails, boutique shops, restaurants all nearby. NOTE: Air-conditioning was added in 2021! Beautiful 4 bedroom free standing house on quiet street. Great for the whole family. There are 4 bedrooms. Bedroom #1 is the kids' room and has 2 twin beds (we have 1 "barrier" that can be set up on either bed for younger children and a pack and play/travel crib is in the hall closet); #2 is the master bedroom with a queen bed and an en-suite bathroom (shower and separate toilet room); #3 has a king bed and #4 is the office and has a full-size bed. There is another full bath with a shower on the second floor and a half bath on the first floor. Plenty of free parking, three spaces in our driveway and plenty of on-street parking as well. Our favorite room is the dining room from where you can watch the birds in our yard and enjoy family meals together. It has windows on all of its three walls and has beautiful lighting throughout the whole day. This room is separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar with 3 chairs. Connected to the kitchen and what used to be the dining room is now the "library" is a great "free space" for children or adults to enjoy. If you are not sitting on the back deck with your morning beverage, then the green couch in the library is the next best thing. The living room has a small flat-screen TV, window seat, fireplace, and beautiful upright Kawai piano. Our entire house will be available to you for all your needs. We have two young children and you will also have access to anything that the kids might need. There will be plenty of toys and books (in English and German) to play with. Other kid's amenities include kids DVDs, a travel crib, children's gates for both the bottom and top of the stairs, and a nice sized yard for getting some energy out. Please let us know if there is anything else your child might need as we can try to arrange it. There are also plenty of "toys" for the adults. You will be able to enjoy our back deck with a large charcoal grill and a patio table that seats 6+. House-wide wireless internet and cable television. Washer and a dryer in the basement. The kitchen is fully equipped with all gadgets you could possibly need for all your meals, a dishwasher and a chef's stove/oven. We will be traveling during your stay in our house. The rental is managed by our friend who lives close by and who will be available for any questions, problems, recommendations and concerns. You will find our house on a quiet street with welcoming neighbors. Forests, parks, playgrounds and lakes all within walking distance. The Medford side of the Mystic Lakes is all public land with a nice walking trail/esplanade along it. Recently, connector bike trails were added to allow you to easily bike to the Minuteman Bike Trail with connections to Davis Square and other popular areas. For a longer, beautiful ride, take the bike trail out to Lexington Center for a nice lunch or beverage. Public transport (buses and commuter rail (train)) to Boston within a 5-10 minute walk. Vibrant Davis, Porter and Harvard Squares are easily accessible by bus and within short driving distance. Lots of young families in the neighborhood. Close to restaurants, coffee shops and boutique shops. Make sure to take a trip to beautiful Walden Pond on a hot summer day to either take a cool dip or hike around it. Don't forget to check out Davis, Porter and Harvard Square and spend plenty of time in historic Boston. 10 minute walk to Lowell line commuter rail (12 minute ride to downtown Boston). 95, 94 and 134 bus stop. 5 miles to downtown Boston. Please note: 1. The house is 3 stories so you will need to be OK with stairs. 2. The house enjoys wonderful breezes and has ceiling fans, window fans, and roof windows for fresh air options. We also added mini-split air-conditioning in 2021, so our warmer New England summers will not get the best of you!
