Waltham Home of the Week: 240 Ash St.

This charming historical Victorian offers the perfect unification of the past and present. It is filled with many layers of period elements to remind its residents of its rich, historical roots, but it has also been consciously updated to reflect the today's progressive and durable designing trends. Built 123 years ago, it continues to flaunt that timeless character nearly impossible to duplicate today with guided assistance from classic features, such as stained glass windows, architectural details, gorgeous hardwood flooring and warm, hospitable spaces. To sustain its present appeal and sustainability, major components have been wonderfully renovated, including the kitchen and baths.

An enchanting front porch provides a fitting introduction and guides guests into a welcoming 12 x 12 square foot living room and an 11 x 11 square foot formal dining area. The 20 x 15 square foot gourmet eat-in kitchen serves perfectly as the heart of this home and supplies premium enhancements, including Corian countertops, upgraded cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.

The second level hosts very comfortable lodging with a 13 x 12 square foot master bedroom with a walk-in closet/personal home office, and two additional bedrooms measuring 12 x 10 square feet. A walk-up attic provides great storage solutions and presents viable expansion opportunities while remaining true to the home's original footprint.
