Real Estate

Home of the Week: 54 Thornton Rd.

This beautiful home in Waltham's Cedarwood neighborhood had received every possible upgrade a prospective homebuyer would desire.

Who needs new construction? This new residents of this stellar 63 year-old Waltham colonial will benefit from the luxurious accommodations found in newer homes but within a residence that displays a character only contained within a property with a solid structure and a maturing spirit.

The combination of its age and exceptional updates offer valuable benefits to its future owners whereas experienced residents have tailored its transformation to a comfortable and adaptable familial lifestyle. That familiarity differs from walking into new construction where certain areas were developed and others that were working were left unaided. The successful result? A residential audition that produced a beautiful product to fulfill the desires and needs of an evolving family.

This home's classic history is proudly flaunted with its traditional exterior introduction and the welcoming 18 x 12 square foot living room, with a fireplace, that warmly greets guests as they enter. An oversized threshold provides seamless access to the neighboring 18 x 14 square foot gourmet kitchen that was recreated into the showcase and hub of this home. The fabulous culinary center is fully equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances, a radiant heated floor, dual sinks, premier cabinetry and granite surfaces, including a bi-level center island bar. The kitchen also connects to an 18 x 14 square foot dining area with a French door that leads. The home also has an oversized deck for festive meals. For relaxed occasions, this floor also includes a charming 20 x 10 square foot den, a new designer tiled bath and laundry center.
