• Remarks Public: A beautiful single family home in historic Wawaset on a quiet and pretty street can now be yours. Have you dreamed of sitting in a cozy neighborhood, on a screen porch, sipping your favorite beverage, watching nature and occasionally greeting neighbors? Have you always wanted that experience while in a home that has the old world charm of copper downspouts and arched windows but at the same time has updated, open living and plenty of space for all your storage needs? If so, then you must see this home today. The unique single family home of this size in Wawaset sits “sideways” so that your screen porch greets the neighbors, and your front entrance is easily accessed from the driveway. You are greeted by a gracious foyer and will immediately notice the light streaming in from the arched window at the top of the stairs. To your right is a lovely living room with wood burning fireplace and antique tile surround and carved mantle. Two sets of glass French doors access the front screened porch, the envy of the neighborhood. The foyer opens to the left to the dining room which immediately flows to the kitchen with white cabinets, granite counters, and stainless appliances including double ovens. An eat-in kitchen bar defines the space and provides open access to the large family room. From here a wall of windows with two sliders that open to the yard, let the light stream in. The back yard is a great size for Wawaset, yet manageable. A brick patio is large enough for your table, cooking and entertaining and pretty perennials border the lawn. The current owners have even mounted a convex mirror on the back fence to capture the sunset light, giving your outdoor events even more atmosphere. You will also access the spacious garage from here. Back in the house, on the main floor is a unique bonus room behind the stairs, accessed from the foyer or living room which could be a quiet space for contemplation and is currently used as a music room. These unique features can only be found in a home of this era. On the second level, you’ll find 4 bedrooms, an office and 3 bathrooms. The primary suite is spacious and full of light with a bathroom with double sinks and a private chamber. The other bedrooms are also ample and one of the hall baths includes the washer and dryer, moved upstairs by the current owner. The office is a perfect size for working or exercise. And what about storage! – This home uniquely provides significant storage. Deep closets are throughout the home, and there is a walk up attic fully planked and a large unfinished basement with egress. Updates – in addition to what is mentioned above, the electrical was upgraded in 2012, hardwood floors were refinished. One A/C was replaced in 2013 and one in 2017! The driveway and walk way were all removed, rebuilt and replaced in 2014. The roof decking underneath the beautiful screen porch tile roof was replaced in 2019. A new hot water heater and a few new doors were also updated. Many of these upgrades are not things that you can easily “see” on your walk through, but have been taken care of so you don’t have anything to do other than put your own personal touches on the home! Make a showing tour today and see the many benefits of living in the historic community of Wawaset.
