About 605 Putnam St
Amazing historic home situated in the heart of Wakefield that has been beautifully updated while maintaining its historical character. Original wood work and cabinet hardware, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and the staircase add a touch of elegance and warmth. This gorgeous four bedroom, two bath home has a view to the north of beautiful Sunday Lake. As you enter the house from the side, a staircase goes down to the basement, and a couple steps up lead you to the first-floor full bathroom. The bright and cheery kitchen, complete with new countertops, features a peninsula with an eat-in kitchen area that opens into the formal dining room. The dining room has a built-in corner China cabinet. Off the dining room is a bedroom that is currently being used as an office. As you walk through the curved opening into the large living room, you are taken back in time. These rooms all have new drywall and paint. Heading up the curved staircase, you will find 3 bedrooms and a full bath with claw foot tub. Many updates have been made with new drywall and paint throughout. The full basement is clean and dry with plenty of storage, laundry facilities, and a workshop area. There is a one car detached garage with a paved driveway. The yard has many different flowers, fragrant perennials and trees, along with a nice sitting area with great shade. Without a doubt, your green thumb will be happy here. The front porch also is a great sitting area as well as the added-on side porch with a screened entrance. In over 100 years this home has had only had 4 owners. Will you be the next caretaker?
