The Residences at Franklin School is a single-story-addressed condominium complex converted from a historic 1899 school into residential loft-style units. The redevelopment preserved architectural character—exposed brick, beamed timber, oversized windows, and high ceilings—while inserting modern systems and energy-efficient upgrades. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts with flexible bonus spaces such as lofts, home offices, or media rooms, and interiors typically showcase hardwood floors, recessed lighting, stone or granite counters, stainless appliances, and in-unit laundry. Common elements include an elevator, extra storage rooms, manicured gardens and roof decks, decorative exterior lighting, balconies or private patios, and professionally landscaped grounds. The building is professionally managed, offers deeded off-street parking and guest spaces, and maintains an owner-occupancy and affordable-housing covenant on certain units. Located in Medford with easy access to major routes and public transit, the property sits near parks, Tufts University, and a walkable downtown, combining a preserved 19th-century shell with contemporary condo conveniences and energy-star rated performance.
