This one bedroom unit was completely renovated in 2026 from top to bottom, with every element replaced, upgraded, and thoughtfully specified for a home that lives like new construction, without the new construction price tag. The top floor placement in this elevator building brings quiet, light-filled rooms and a sense of privacy rare in condo living. A stylish, neutral color palette runs throughout, offering a calm, cohesive backdrop. The expertly designed kitchen is the centerpiece of the unit, with floor to ceiling cabinetry that maximizes storage while giving the space an elevated, custom look, complemented by a dedicated pantry cabinet for everyday organization. A range hood anchors the cooking area, and the island, with a microwave built directly in, keeps counter space open for prep, dining, or entertaining. The bathroom continues the same standard of finish, with a walk in shower behind a sleek glass door, brand new tile work, and a linen closet for practical, everyday storage. In unit washer and dryer round out the convenience, so laundry never means leaving home. The condo fee covers heat and hot water, and with a fully renovated unit and well maintained building, this is truly low maintenance living. Location is what sets this address apart. The building sits directly across the street from the commuter rail, with an MBTA bus stop right out front, making this one of the most transit connected addresses in Wakefield. From here, downtown Wakefield and downtown Melrose are both just minutes away, with shops, restaurants, cafes, and beautiful Lake Quannapowitt all part of daily life rather than a special occasion. Pets are welcome under 25 lbs, and for buyers comparing this to the new construction units currently selling in town, the value proposition is clear: the same 2026 finishes and the same turnkey condition, at a meaningfully different price. A top floor, fully renovated one bedroom in an elevator building, steps from the commuter rail, this is a rare combination in Wakefield's current market, offered with truly low maintenance living from day one.

About
Greenwood
Greenwood, located between Lake Quannapowitt and the Melrose line, is a residential and commuter-friendly Wakefield neighborhood with a rail stop and a patchwork of wooded streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Greenwood Station area along Main Street, where corner eateries, small salons, and everyday storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. Pillars include the Beebe Estate’s historic grounds, the Greenwood Farmers Market, and the Wakefield History Museum’s rotating exhibits. Housing leans toward classic New England colonials and mid-century capes with deep yards and mature trees. Side streets feed into trail pockets and playing fields, while the commuter rail keeps downtown Boston within reach. The pace stays calm, with weekend activity clustering around parks, school campuses, and the station corridor.
