84 Orchard St, Medford, MA, 02155
About This Home
Exactly what the right buyer has been waiting for. Let's get the obvious out of the way first: This isn't your typical MLS listing. 84 Orchard Street has been condemned by the city due to broken plumbing pipes and flooding. It's being sold strictly as-is, where-is, and no interior access is permitted.Now for the fun part: Behind today's challenges is a classic two-family in Medford's sought-after Hillside neighborhood with a timeless layout, off-street parking, a nice little backyard, and potential to expand into the walk-up attic and lower level (buyer to perform all due diligence). Situated moments from Tufts University, the Green Line Extension, and the best restaurants and shopping Medford has to offer, the location is unbeatable. This isn't just a renovation project—it’s a blank canvas in one of the most resilient markets in the Greater Boston area. Some buyers will scroll right past this listing. The right buyer will stop scrolling. Roll up your sleeves, assemble your team, let your imagination take over, and let the work begin. Great properties aren't always found—they're created.
