Home of the Week: Three Levels, Flexible Living, Plenty of Space

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

By Michele Taranto

All the conveniences of a ranch but the space and privacy of a Cape. That is just a sampling of the appealing features of this beautiful Waltham home. This spacious, extensively renovated 3,000-plus square foot residence not only boasts three levels of living space, but a flexible blueprint with a bedroom on each story and expansive room dimensions to accommodate larger families and effortless entertaining. Its oversized plot takes its cue from its generous indoor measurements with over a half acre of land resembling a New Hampshire country property as opposed to a Boston suburb.

The first level boasts six large rooms, beginning with a 21 x 13 square foot fireplaced living room with a picture window drenching the space in natural sunlight and a welcoming 13 x 12 square foot intimate dining area. The bright, inviting 19 x 11 square foot eat-in kitchen and comfortable 23 x 15 square foot family room equally share and fulfill their responsibilities as the family hub from morning through night. This level also includes an 18 x 16 square foot master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and dual closets for residents who prefer single-floor living.

Two bedrooms are located on the second story at 20 x 11 and 13 x 12 square feet while the fourth 20 x 15 square foot bedroom is sited in the finished basement. This lower level also contains an office, exercise room, laundry/lavatory, utility room and liberal storage space.

In addition, this property tenders a one-car attached garage, a substantial six-car driveway, central air conditioning in the master suite and office, a patio, private yard and a new state-of-the-art gas heating system equipped to substantially curb fuel costs.

This attractive 58 year-old home still reflects its robust solid foundation and character yet has been proficiently renovated to present a quality residence that earns its status as the Patch Home of the Week.
