Welcome to Preston Park, where comfortable condo living meets a convenient Wakefield location! This two-bedroom, one-bath garden-style unit offers an efficient, easy-to-enjoy layout with plenty of opportunity to make the space your own. The living and dining areas provide a comfortable setting for everyday living and entertaining, while two bedrooms offer flexibility for sleeping space, guests, or a home office. Assigned parking adds everyday convenience. \ Professionally managed Preston Park offers the ease of condominium living along with an in-ground swimming pool—perfect for relaxing and cooling off during the warmer months. A separate laundry building is conveniently located near the pool, while a unit-specific storage area at the rear of the property and dedicated bike storage provide valuable additional space. \ Inside, this unit is ready for its next chapter. The kitchen, bath and finishes offer opportunities for cosmetic updating, making this an ideal choice for buyers who would rather personalize a home than pay a premium for someone else’s choices. The old carpeting has already been removed, providing a head start on the transformation (new flooring to comply condo carpeting rules). Bring your ideas and create a space that feels truly yours! \ And the location is a real highlight. Enjoy nearby Lake Quannapowitt with its popular walking and jogging route, along with downtown Wakefield’s restaurants, cafés, shops, community activities and everyday conveniences. The Wakefield commuter rail station is approximately a mile away with service to Boston’s North Station, while convenient access to Routes 1 and 95/128 makes getting around Greater Boston and the North Shore easy. \ Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizing, or simply looking for a home you can update to reflect your own taste, this Preston Park condo offers an appealing combination of value, convenience, community amenities and potential. Come see the possibilities and imagine making it your own!

Montrose, located between Lake Quannapowitt and Greenwood, is a residential and commuter-friendly Wakefield neighborhood with tree-lined side streets and a rail-to-trail edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Montrose Avenue area near the Wakefield–Melrose line, where corner storefronts and small-service businesses meet steady foot traffic. Housing reads as classic Greater Boston—compact Colonials, Capes, and mid-century ranches with tidy setbacks. The Northern Strand Community Trail frames daily routines with bikes, strollers, and runners. Lake Quannapowitt’s loop and shoreline parks set a calm, outdoors-first rhythm. Downtown Wakefield’s independent stops—The Sweet Life, Public Kitchen, and the Wakefield Farmers Market—anchor local culture.
