Concord Home of the Week: 10 Wood St.

This welcoming 127 year-old Victorian perfectly blends Concord's historic past with contemporary, colorful decor and countless and amenities that today's homebuyers request and desire. Its curbside presentation perfectly launches its vintage journey with period architectural details while its interior slowly reveals layers of its rich constructive roots with built-ins, oversized and multiple thresholds and a spirit never duplicated in new construction. To complement its antique narrative, 13 spacious rooms were designed with a fluid blueprint, ideal for the busy lifestyles of the modern family and drenched with warm, inviting hues to establish relaxed and comfortable settings.

The newly-renovated 17 x 17 square foot eat-in kitchen and pantry displays custom-built wood cabinets, stone/granite countertops, hardwood flooring and stainless steel appliances, but features such as a brick wall were preserved to flaunt its age and rich background. To comply with today's home designs, the kitchen also opens into a large family room for that appealing seamless traffic flow.

The charming 15 x 23 square foot living room is lined with soft yellow walls with a fireplace as the main focal point of the space. The formal 16 x 13 square foot dining room offers a second of four fireplaces in the house and makes a dramatic statement with rich cranberry walls that will envelop diners through dessert.

For those relaxed and/or personal moments, this versatile  home also offers a welcoming sunroom, large rear deck and an oversized second floor balcony. It also contains two bedrooms on the third floor at 13 x 13 and 13 x 12 square feet and a full bath that would make ideal his and hers offices, teen area, children's play rooms or au pair suite.

Spectacular seasonal views and a short walk to historic Concord Center, a boat house, shopping and commuter train, make this home the perfect location to experience recreational and leisure activities throughout the neighborhood and the town of Concord. Of course, with the choices and opportunities at this address, there may be no need or desire to leave.
