78 Oak StWakefield, MA 01880

Description

Welcome to 78 Oak Street, a home meticulously cared for and loved by the same family for generations. Inside, the main residence has an architectural richness that simply can’t be recreated in new construction. Exposed wood beams, warm natural materials, a gas fireplace and rooms with their own distinct character give the home a sense of history and permanence. The generous first floor allows plenty of space for cooking, gathering, working, relaxing and hosting, while three bedrooms are tucked upstairs. The indoor heated pool and hot tub make this property even more remarkable, offering a private place to swim, entertain, and unwind throughout the year. At the back of the home, a three-season room opens to a patio with a built-in grill and outdoor gas fireplace. Legally a two-family, the property lives more like a main residence with completely separate accommodations for extended family, guests or rental income. The private 1-2 bedroom apartment has its own entrance and basement, with no shared walls with the main house. An attached barn with loft sits between the two residences, providing substantial storage as well as exciting potential for future finishing or development. The expansive lot offers a broad, level yard around the house before rising up the hillside to elevated views. A two-car garage adds everyday practicality. All of this is set in Greenwood, one of Wakefield’s most convenient and coveted neighborhoods, .5 miles to the commuter rail, shops, restaurants and major routes. Rich in character and exceptionally versatile, 78 Oak Street is a home that could never be mistaken for anything ordinary!
