Listing broker remarks

Centrally located in the heart of Medway, the historic Old Parish House offers convenient access to schools, parks, trails, dining and everyday amenities, yet feels remarkably private and surprisingly quiet inside. Built using timbers from Medway’s original 1749 meetinghouse, this exceptional home has been masterfully restored to honor its remarkable history while providing the comfort, space and functionality of modern living. Magnificent exposed stone walls, original architectural details and timeless character are complemented by spacious rooms, thoughtful updates and a versatile layout across four finished levels. The welcoming foyer opens to formal living and dining rooms, while the family room features a wood-burning fireplace and flows into the chef’s kitchen with custom European cabinetry, slate countertops, stainless steel appliances, a new 60-inch Thor professional-style gas range, two Fisher & Paykel dishwashers and a pantry. A convenient half bath with laundry completes the main level. The second floor features a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath with an oversized double shower, along with two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The top floor offers another large bedroom and a separate office, providing flexible space for working from home, hobbies or additional living space. The finished lower level adds exceptional versatility with a large open area, separate flex room, 3/4 bath, second laundry area and abundant storage, making it ideal for extended-stay guests, multigenerational living or recreation. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers a peaceful, low-maintenance retreat with a custom stone patio, gazebo, decorative lighting, shed, designated dog run and convenient dog door, creating an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining and pets. With parking for five vehicles, extensive finished space and a rare combination of privacy, convenience, history and modern comfort, the Old Parish House is truly one of Medway’s most distinctive homes.— MerryFox Realty
