Home of the Week: 117 Central St.

For prospective Concord homebuyers patiently waiting for the right home, the wait is over. While Concord is well known around the country for its rich history, it also offers a very unique and eclectic real estate market. This completely renovated and revived Victorian is a great testimony of its residential properties and pays homage to its esteemed heritage. Today’s new construction cannot compete with a tried and true original. There is no substitute for quality craftsmanship, quality materials, and an unrivaled location.

Located in West Concord Village, this home is within walking distance to every amenity imaginable. It is just steps from Thoreau Elementary School, the West Concord Library, Concord Teacakes and the commuter rail station into Boston. This is a great opportunity to experience a “green” lifestyle in a classic New England suburb.

The inviting farmer's porch and original diamond paned windows that flank its stylish front door are the perfect introductions into this lovely home. Renovated with today’s buyer in mind, the home offers formal living and dining rooms which are bright and spacious with high ceilings and updated bamboo flooring. Other nods to the home’s history include ornate crown molding and traditional wainscoting. The dining room also provides a built-in server. All of the spaces on the first floor blend effortlessly, making this a perfect home for entertaining.

A tiled mudroom and laundry room with a large sink from the side entrance provide a more functional admission. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is the centerpiece of the family living area. High-end appliances, glass subway-tiled backsplash, granite counters, custom cabinets, an oversized island with a prep sink and stool seating make this culinary center a cooks dream. This space keeps those in the kitchen connected with family and friends. Holidays and every day living will be highly enjoyed in such an open bright space.

The beautiful bamboo wood floors are carried upstairs to the family bedrooms. The master suite is an impressive space and can easily accommodate a queen or king-sized bed. The master bath offers granite tile, a stall shower with multiple heads, dual vanity, and a period claw-foot tub with contemporary zest. The deep walk-in closet presents an impressive amount of storage space, sufficient for even the collector’s wardrobe.

The two family bedrooms on this side of the stairway are serviced by an oversized full bath with tiled tub and shower and another dual vanity while the third bedroom could be used as a guest room or an au-pair suite as it offers a full bath with tiled stall shower.

The third floor is the perfect setting for a home office, gym or playroom. This oversized, versatile space offers all members of the family a place for their individual activities and includes two ceiling fans, a storage closet, and a half bath.

Truly a find in West Concord Village, this expansive home offers spectacular period details, an open updated floor plan, and custom finishes you would expect to find in a home of this caliber. Do not let this opportunity pass by as these are few and far between.
