Dedham Patch's Home of the Week: 9 Faith Hill

Talk about the best of both worlds. This 142 year-old antique colonial on Faith Hill offers an invaluable slice of Dedham's rich residential legacy and the conveniences and beauty of today's technological advances and designing trends.

A comprehensive renovation raised the bar with its upgrades and amenities to other neighboring properties, yet many of its priceless architectural features were thankfully preserved to subtly reveal glimpses of its past in each room.

Seven rooms and 2,136 square feet of living space throughout two levels provide spacious and private accommodations beginning with the heart of this home in the gourmet eat-in kitchen.

This inviting culinary center was given an abundance of granite counters and cabinetry with a lovely breakfast area while its exposed ceiling beams were retained to convey an inviting rustic setting. This level also offers a formal living room and a spacious family room with a sliding door that leads to a stone patio with a built-in grill and lush private landscape.

The second level boasts a luxurious master bedroom with a wood-lined cathedral ceiling with two skylights drenching the space with natural sunlight and two liberally-sized bedrooms, a family bath that includes a Jacuzzi tub and tiled shower and a convenient home office.

This home is ideally located on a lightly-traveled private road and provides a third of an acre of land for families to enjoy outdoor activities and take full advantage of its serene surroundings.

At this time of year, residents typically prefer to wait out New England's blustery winter and save household maintenance for the warmer months. With its extensive transformation, new homeowners have the advantageous luxury to move right in without financial and burdensome labor costs. Unlike other residents, come spring, new title holders of this home will only be focused on welcoming the sprouting of new vegetation and flowers and the promise of longer days to enjoy their new home.
