About this home

Rare, well-maintained Lakeside Victorian, combining period character with modern amenities, is ready to charm and be yours for the holidays! A stone's throw from Lake Q and million $ + homes, this 5 BR, 1.5 BA is spacious, efficient and perfect for entertaining. Enter into the foyer, which can glow from the stained glass, then open the French doors into an inviting living room with a fireplace. Next, step into the warm dining room, which leads to a timeless, updated kitchen, with white cabinets, quartz counters, a four-seat island, and gas range. A clean, bright half bath rounds off the 1st floor. A wide staircase leads to the 2nd floor that has 3 BR's and a classic, fully tiled bath, and 2 more large rooms on the carpeted 3rd level can be used as a BR, office, playroom or exercise room. Stay comfortable all year in a newer, two-zone HVAC system. Mature plantings dot the low maintenance exterior. This is a turnkey gem between vibrant downtown Wakefield & Rte 95 you don’t want to miss!
