Dedham Home of the Week: 47 Edison Ave.

Finding a quality home in a good location at a reasonable price can be a grueling task for the potential homebuyer. For the future residents of this beautiful ranch in Oakdale, that search is over. The only catch, however, is time. While this home is brand new to the Dedham real estate market, with all its favorable features, it will not remain available for very long.

This custom-built home offers many attractive and appealing original and renovated qualities to offer its new owners. For example, it offers a private, level, fence-in backyard, it located on a quiet, lightly-traveled cul-de-sac, boasts parking for five cars and has recently received a new architectural hip roof. It also offers an incredibly generous amount of living space, including a finished basement that is not included in its listed 1,164 square footage. There are gleaming hardwood floors throughout, two fireplaces and a forced hot water with central air conditioning system.

The fully-applianced 23 x 11 square foot kitchen is a warm, hospitable central hub for the home drenched in soft blues, with wood cabinets, an abundance of counter space and a lovely, cozy dining area. The 20 x 14 square foot living room welcomes guests with an understated elegance and includes a brick fireplace and bay window filling the area with natural sunlight. Two bedrooms with substantial closet space and a full bath are also located on this level as well as a charming enclosed Jalousied porch to enjoy leisurely summer evenings.

The finished basement is a significant bonus component and great recreational opportunity with its fireplaced family room and bar.

This property contains many of the finer elements potential homebuyers desire but can only typically find in larger, much more expensive homes. It has sizeable and versatile dimensions, substantial parking, a picturesque, lush lot with amenities and is located in a highly desirable Dedham neighborhood. Its first open house is today and potential homebuyers will not want to miss this incredible opportunity to tour this valued residence.
