Home of the Week: Classic Colonial with Modern Style

Editor's Note: We'll be back in Newton with next week's Home of the Week.

This spacious Waltham colonial offers just the right mix of classic designs with modern amenities and styles.

This timeless Waltham colonial proudly displays its sturdy and classic roots for the entire neighborhood to admire. Inside, this 88 year-old home is drenched with natural sunlight and tradition with period details that include five fireplaces, French doors, decorative windows, crown moldings, natural fibers and built-ins.

The first floor consists of four common rooms for entertaining or family relaxation with a large front-to-back fireplaced living room, a formal dining area with a built-in china cabinet, a charming sunroom with a slider that leads to a private, rear patio and a large eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a center island with seating and a fabulous fireplace set in floor-to-ceiling brick. For moments when quiet and tranquility are needed, a fireplaced home office is also available on this floor.

The second level hosts surprisingly spacious sleeping accommodations with a rustic master bedroom that features a beamed cathedral ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, three additional bedrooms and two full baths.

In addition to the inviting sunroom, this property offers added opportunities to enjoy warmer temperatures and its lush third of an acre lot with a rear patio and oversized balcony on the second level. Its listed 2,800 square feet of living space is also enhanced with a finished space above the detached two-car garage which would make an ideal studio or office.

Blending classic designs with contemporary conveniences is not an easy task, but the owners of this great Waltham prospect have successfully done just that while still preserving the rich character and ambiance of its residential roots.
