Built on the land that was known during colonial days as Sugar Loaf Hill, George Washington once graced this special nook of in-town Wakefield. Drive past the mature elms and sugar maples that stand watch along the picturesque driveway approaching this Federal style home and you will feel a sense of comfort. Featuring four bedrooms and two full baths, plus a half bath with laundry on the first floor. The updated kitchen is highlighted by a beehive fireplace flanked by built in seating. The dining room opens to a gracious living room with a woodstove that keeps the relaxed and cozy vibe going throughout. A new composite front porch is a lovely place to watch the world go by and the side porch offers a second haven for enjoying the outdoors. An oversized three car garage with huge storage loft as well as the spacious 2.2 acres lined by stone walls are rare and precious amenities for a property so close to downtown. The iconic Mews Tavern is just a half mile walk to 69 beers on tap, and Brickley's Ice-cream, the Caf Bar, All That Matters Yoga, Saugatucket River walk, South County Bike Path and so many other shops and restaurants are all within a mile of this home. Easy on-off Route 1 brings you to points north and south. Loved and cared for by one family for more than 40 years, you've found your sanctuary.... now make this amazing property your own!
