Cottage in Dedham wins with whimsy
Stashed behind a wooden arbor and gate, and behind a fence covered in blooming greenery, you’ll come upon a home ripped from the pages of an illustrated children’s book.
Sure, the single-family home at 122 Trenton Road in Dedham is picturesque, and idyllic, and adorable, but once you make it beyond the white gate, you’ll discover so much more.
The bungalow, built in 1915 and offered at $389,900, only looks modest, but is very comfortable at close to 1,400 square feet of interior space, not to mention the nearly quarter-acre lot (more on that little slice of gardening heaven later). Follow the brick path, bordered by lush, verdant landscaping, and come inside to the ultra-spacious, open floor plan that allows for easy entertaining and flow, but walled off elegantly by a set of vintage double French doors on one side. Pale hardwood floors and beamed ceilings add character to a home that is just bursting with it.
An updated, tiled kitchen opens into a magnificent dining area accented by a Vermont Castings woodburning stove to keep you warm and cozy during winter months. On the first floor, you’ll find a bedroom and one full, modern bath with jetted tub, a second smaller bathroom with roomy shower stall, as well as the mudroom with additional storage space. From the kitchen, take the bright, aqua blue spiral staircase to the loft to find a skylit second bedroom and office space.
As lovely as the home is inside, the sunny, lovingly maintained corner lot is a gardener’s or outdoor-lover’s paradise, with several features that are sure to delight, including a greenhouse, koi pond and stone patio with just the right amount of space for outdoor eating and hosting. There’s even a fire pit for chilly nights and smores.
You’ll enjoy a quiet, established neighborhood that’s also convenient to the T and Interstates 95 and 93, while still being close to conservation land and, of course, your own 0.23 acres of nature.
Open house hours are this Sunday from noon to 1:30 p.m.
