About This Home

As of June 2024

Searching for a new home in 2015, somewhat discouraged & frustrated by a limited & competitive market, they happened upon 35 Grandview Ave #2. In their wildest dreams, they never thought they would find a 3-bedroom space in an old stone CASTLE w/ an enormous private deck looking out over the city. When they learned dogs were welcome, that there were 2 parking spots (one in a garage, no less), a gunite pool, a/c, & places to garden, they were blown away. For 9 yrs, they have lived in this beautiful spot, taken inspiration for their highly sought-after ceramics, enjoyed long walks with their dog through Lawrence estates, the Middlesex Fells Reservation, or into Medford Sq., & sat quietly on their deck, taking in the ever-changing sky. When it got hot outside, they simply jumped in the pool to cool down. Their business is growing, so they are headed to RI for a larger studio, thus recreating the opportunity for someone searching in this equally frustrating market to land in a Castle.
