Dedham Home of the Week: 19 Thompson

This beautiful antique Victorian is truly a residence that will entertain and comfort residents every month of the year. Inside, is boasts eight spacious rooms, each subtly revealing its rich, historic roots and outside offers fabulous entertaining and leisure opportunities with a stone patio, outdoor shower, hot tub, a charming pergola and the property's original barn.

In addition, this property has been impeccably maintained and updated with state-of-the-art accessories and a decor that perfectly enhances its vintage character.

Elevated ceilings and oversized windows drench the first level in natural sunlight and visually opens its already spacious room dimensions. The 17 x 15 square foot fireplaced living room is soaked with rich crimson walls which reflect the light beautifully from the bay windows while the 18 x 16 square foot formal dining area also offers period windows and includes custom cabinetry.

The oversized 24 x 18 square foot family room can easily accommodate large gatherings which can also conveniently be brought outdoors through a set of French doors. Finally, the 18 x 15 square foot kitchen offers premier culinary ingredients with an abundance of upgraded cabinetry, a wet bar, ceramic flooring and a center island with seating for quick, casual meals. A high efficiency gas heating system has also been installed with radiant flooring in the kitchen, family room, basement, barn office and bedroom.

The second level in this home hosts three generously-sized bedrooms at 18 x 15, 17 x 15 and 14 x 13 square feet while the finished basement offers a fabulous in-law suite with a separate entrance. A cobblestoned driveway leads to the detached traditional barn and supplements its living accommodations with a 21 x 12 square foot bedroom, a half bath and a 25 x 16 square foot home office.

The town of Dedham offers many vintage properties such as this special gem, however, they seldom enter the real estate market, likely because their owners are so happy and content within their residence. The opportunity has uniquely availed itself, but rest assured, it will not be vacant for very long.
