Waltham Wow: A Funky, Modern Home For Sale

WALTHAM, MA —Who says Waltham isn't hip? This thoroughly modern home hit the market in August with an asking price of $975,000. Since then the owners pulled back and dropped the price a little farther from $1 million, but it's still a pretty penny. Waltham is certainly seeing an uptick in the prices of homes, but the median sale price in this neighborhood is still $625,000.

So that brings us back to this question: Is this Waltham home complete with its modernist vibe worth it?

You be the judge. Check out what the realtor has to say about it:

• Address: 140 Hawthorne Rd, Waltham, Massachusetts
• Price: $890,000
• Square Feet: 1980
• Bedrooms: 3
• Bathrooms: 2 Full and 1 Half Baths
• Built: 2018
• Features: With breathtaking vistas from walls of glass and an open floor plan encompassing the whole top level, this stylish Modernist home was designed with entertaining and urbane living at the forefront. Imagine coming home to an extremely low maintenance free-standing home, pulling your car into the heated two-car garage, opening a bottle of wine in the sleek kitchen, and strolling through the open-plan living room to floor-to ceiling corner windows overlooking the Boston skyline. Or maybe you envision yourself basking in the morning sun with coffee on the deck, or barbecuing out there with friends. You can live it in a newly built Modernist home with high-end finishes — like sapele mahogany and leathered granite — without the prohibitive price that one typically finds in the Boston area. The bedroom level encompasses a luxurious master suite with a boutique-hotel-like en suite bath, plus two other bedrooms with shared full bath. Convenient to shopping, restaurants, Brandeis, and more.
