Welcome to 253 Hopewell Road, a rare opportunity to enjoy lake-community living in Medford's highly desirable Taunton Lake neighborhood. Nestled on a quiet no-through street and approached by a gated circular driveway, this expanded Cape Cod sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre and blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. One of the owners' favorite features is the easy access to Taunton Lake via a scenic wooded walkway leading to the private community beach and the historic waters of Taunton Lake. Steeped in local history, part of the home once served as an early 19th-century stagecoach stop, with many original architectural details still preserved today. Exposed beams, wood accents, and inviting gathering spaces create warmth and character rarely found in today's homes. A spacious entry and mudroom offers an updated laundry area (2026) with new plumbing, utility sink, and LVP flooring, complemented by abundant storage, a sauna, stall shower, and access to the oversized two-car garage. At the heart of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen (2014) featuring a gas fireplace, breakfast bar/island, tiled floor, recessed lighting, and generous workspace for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly to the screened porch (2022) and expansive deck, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor connection. Just beyond, the dining room offers rich wood detailing and a second gas fireplace, while the adjoining family room showcases hand-hewn beams, a third gas fireplace, picturesque nature views, and sliding doors to the screened porch. An updated powder room (2014) and a private first-floor primary suite with backyard access, large picture windows, and an updated ensuite bath (2014) complete the main level. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms filled with charm and character, NEW carpeting, a full bath with a jetted tub, ample storage, and a large bonus room perfect for a home office, studio, playroom, or hobby room. Outside, the expansive fenced yard features two gated entrances, a section of the yard is fully fenced providing a secure, open setting for pets, play, and recreation, along with automatic irrigation, a patio, deck, and open green space for recreation, gardening, and entertaining. Just beyond the backyard, a scenic wooded walkway leads to the community beach, where swimming, kayaking, fishing, and lakeside relaxation can become part of everyday life. Additional features include public water, a septic system installed in 2013, HVAC system (2023), new 25' electric service with 200-amp service (2025), and a whole-house Generac generator for added peace of mind. See attached home improvement sheet for additional details. Residents enjoy membership in the Old Taunton Colony Club, offering access to the private beach, dock and canoe rack, along with community events throughout the year including fishing derbies, canoe races, summer picnics, movies under the stars, bonfires, and seasonal celebrations. Not only is the home convenient to parks, shopping, dining, and major commuting routes, it is also just minutes from Taunton Village's restaurants, grocery store, ice cream shops, and fitness center. Combining rich history, modern updates, a peaceful setting, and an exceptional lake lifestyle, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of privacy, recreation, and everyday convenience. Whether entertaining on the deck, relaxing on the screened porch, or taking an evening stroll to the lake, 253 Hopewell Road is a place where lasting memories are made.
