Waltham Home of the Week: 162 Dale St.

This vintage 107 year-old Victorian continues to proudly present its rich architectural roots for all of Dale Street to enjoy. Many passers-by likely speculate about its interior design and their curiosity is reasonable. It is truly special, just not completely what one would expect. Once they pass through the charming wrap-around porch, they will be greeted by a beautifully-designed home that has been gutted to the studs and beautifully restored. It offers the best in luxury, comfort and contemporary designs with an understanding and respect to its historic background.

Each room on the first level has been painted with soft butter walls and includes timeless accents with elevated ceilings, enchanting vignettes, decorative moldings, recessed lighting and gleaming hardwood floors. This main floor offers a sun-filled 17 x 13 square foot living room, a 15 x 13 square foot formal dining area and a 13 x 11 square foot kitchen filled with high-end culinary ingredients. Included in the are are stainless steel appliances, rich, dark cabinets and granite surfaces. 

The second level hosts three spacious family bedrooms at 16 x 13, 13 x 11 and 14 x 14 square feet and a full, family bath. The finished third level fully utilizes the generous footprint of this home and offers the luxury of a private master suite. The main bedroom is accessed through a French door at the base of its stairway that leads to a luxurious 17 x 16 square foot bedroom suite with architectural nooks and a full, marble bath.

This home rests on a 7,000 square foot lot surrounded by mature greenery that has organically shielded its residents for generations. It also boasts a new extended driveway that wraps around the structure providing a great amount of supplemental parking.

This is a fabulous opportunity to own a piece of local history and reside in a virtually brand new home where maintenance is nominal and comfort and beauty are genuine and exceptional.
