    What's special

    Solid brick constructionIn-unit laundryBreakfast barOriginal hardwood throughoutKitchen with granite countersSplit-bedroom layout for privacyQuiet tree-lined street
    Sun-filled corner unit at The Residences at Franklin School—2BR/2BA with TWO assigned parking spaces and a deeded extra storage unit, in a professionally managed, elevator building. Split-bedroom layout for privacy; open living area with high ceilings, oversized windows, and original hardwood throughout. Kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar, stainless appliances, and gas stove. In-unit laundry and central heat + A/C. Solid brick construction keeps it quiet and comfortable in every season. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street yet minutes to I-93 and the 2,500-acre Middlesex Fells Reservation for hiking and trails. The monthly fee is all-inclusive; a portion currently funds a temporary building-improvement loan expected to be retired in the coming years, after which fees should step down (see Remarks). Originally an 1899 schoolhouse, fully converted in 2006 to 20 residences, a PRISM Award-winning conversion. Close to Assembly Row, Wegmans, and Wellington Orange Line.
