Some homes don’t reveal their full story at first glance — and 58 Spring Street is one of them. Tucked into Wakefield’s sought-after Greenwood neighborhood, this surprisingly spacious home offers a flexible layout, commuter-friendly location, and rare expansion potential that makes it truly stand out.

The first floor welcomes you with generous living and dining spaces that flow seamlessly toward a picture window framing serene forest views. You can’t tell from the curb, but the home manages to pack in just under 2,500 square feet of interior space.

A bright sunroom, three large bedrooms, and one-and-a-half baths round out this level — along with wide hallways and an exterior masonry ramp for added accessibility. Whether you’re imagining a guest suite, in-law apartment, or a separate home office wing, the layout offers real versatility — including the potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU).

Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms and a full bath, ideal for creating private workspaces, a separate kids’ level, or just spreading out. Stay comfortable year-round with a brand-new central A/C system.

The real hidden gem? The full unfinished basement. Already outfitted with a working fireplace and accessible via the attached two-car garage, it’s the perfect canvas for a home gym, playroom, or rec space — just waiting for a little imagination.

Step outside and you’re minutes from both Greenwood and Melrose Highlands — home to neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, and train and bus stations that make commuting to Boston a breeze.

Open house hours are Saturday, May 24, from noon to 1:30 p.m.

On the market for $899,900, the sale of the home is represented by Kristin Weekley with Leading Edge Real Estate, 781-454-8493.
