Welcome to 44 Church St, a historic gem with wonderful views of Lake Quannapowitt. Sit on the front porch and watch the wonders of the lake. This Federal Colonial home, has many period details, large center chimney, wide plank wood floors, exposed beams, and antique hardware. Part of the home was originally a “tin shop” dated to 1720's. A comfortable home, bright and sunny, plenty of closets, and built-ins. First floor laundry room, and separate breakfast room. Bonus room on the 3rd floor, great guest suite with full bath. Outside: large shed, patio, perennial garden, small dog pen, and plenty of parking and space to turn around. And, only a short distance to Wakefield's vibrant downtown, with restaurants, shops and commuter rail. Easy access to highway. A must see!
