The Schoolhouse at Old Medford High is a single-story conversion of an 1890 historic school building repurposed into loft-style one-bedroom condominiums. The architecture retains period character with oversized, schoolhouse windows, exposed brick backdrops and dramatic cathedral or 20–23 foot ceilings in many units, often arranged as open-plan living spaces with lofted sleeping areas accessed by spiral staircases. Interiors commonly feature custom built closets and cabinetry, recessed lighting, wet bars or peninsula counters, home-office alcoves, and upgrades such as modernized kitchens and bathrooms, central air, and newer mechanicals. Communal areas emphasize recreation and outdoor space: a recently renovated indoor swimming pool with adjacent sauna/steam facilities, tennis courts, landscaped gardens, patio with BBQ, decorative exterior lighting and on-site storage. Parking is deeded and typically assigned, with both garage and outside spaces referenced. Onsite professional management maintains grounds and amenities; internet broadband is available. Situated steps from Medford Square with easy access to public transportation, major routes, the Fells Reservation and nearby shops and restaurants, the property blends historic character with amenity-rich, commuter-friendly living.
