On a tranquil corner in Medford, a striking residence at 19 Shirley Road bridges eras with confidence. Built in 1930 and recently transformed by a developer-owner, this home now offers a compelling blend of attractive interior design and contemporary convenience (ahem, the perfectly appointed mudroom to keep your life organized).

Step inside and the full extent of this transformation becomes clear: More than 5,000 square feet of carefully planned space unfolds in four bedrooms and six baths spread across three levels. The main floor features a flowing open-concept living room, a gourmet kitchen with a double-wide island ripe for entertaining, and a formal dining room perfect for family gatherings .

Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms await, two of which boast private bathrooms, alongside a beautiful sitting room and a convenient laundry space. The top floor serves as a vaulted master suite sanctuary, complete with lofted ceilings, a spa-like ensuite, and a large walk-in closet — a peaceful retreat tucked away from busy daily life.

The lower level is designed for maximum fun: a bespoke (and soundproof!) theater room, fitness area, and flexible bonus space combine to offer a balance of relaxation and recreation.

Parking won’t be a hassle here — a two-car garage and driveway provide space for family and guests, rare in this desirable Medford locale.

Open house hours are Saturday, June 28, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 29, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

On the market for $1,799,000, the sale of the home is represented by Paul B. Campano with Keller Williams Realty Boston Northwest, 617-304-3686.
