About this home

Nestled atop a hill, 81 Hawthorne, crafted in 1929 by Andrew Gray, exudes historic charm. A welcoming enclosed porch sets the tone for the home's character. The inviting fireplace living room seamlessly flows into the adjacent office/sunroom through elegant French doors, offering versatility. From the formal dining room, more French doors lead to the spacious patio, ideal for entertaining & overlooking the tiered backyard w/flowering rock wall. Upstairs, three bedrooms & an updated full bath provide ample accommodation, while exquisite gumwood moldings and hardwood floors showcase the craftsmanship of its era. Abundant windows flood the spaces w/natural light. A convenient half bath, tucked off the kitchen, is perfect for guests. The finished lower level offers space for a home office/gym & playroom. Plus, a one-car garage adds convenience. Nearby, explore the scenic rail trail and Prospect Hill Park, immersing yourself in Waltham's rich history from this beautifully preserved home.
