Description

Set just steps from downtown, this beautifully restored turn-of-the-century Folk Victorian blends timeless character with the kind of space and flexibility that's increasingly hard to find in Westfield. Once configured as a two-family home, the current owners thoughtfully returned the property to its original single-family roots, preserving its historic charm while creating a warm, welcoming layout for modern living.

Once configured as a two-family home, the current owners thoughtfully returned the property to its original single-family roots, preserving its historic charm while creating a warm, welcoming layout for modern living. The home's iconic wraparound porch immediately sets the tone, offering the kind of inviting curb appeal that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. Inside, the main level opens to a gracious foyer and expansive living space filled with natural light and original character. A den with an attached full bath offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or first-floor living. Toward the back of the home, the kitchen features a cozy breakfast nook and opens directly to the massive, fully fenced backyard with endless room to entertain, garden, or unwind. The second floor offers three bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry/dressing room. The third level features a fourth bedroom with a walk-in closet, plus an enormous unfinished space with incredible potential for a future primary suite, studio, or retreat. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Westfield history just moments from downtown shops, restaurants, parks, transportation, and everyday conveniences like Trader Joe's just down the street. You won't want to miss this one, come see for yourself.
