Welcome to 44 Church Street, a historic Federal Colonial overlooking beautiful Lake Quannapowitt. Rich in character and timeless New England charm, this one-of-a-kind home features wide plank floors, exposed beams, antique hardware, custom built-ins, and a striking center chimney, with portions dating back to a 1720s tin shop. Flexible living space spans three levels, including a third-floor bonus suite ideal for guests, a home office, or a private retreat. Thoughtful updates—including a newer roof (2020), furnace (2024), and central A/C—provide modern comfort while preserving the home's historic character. Outside, enjoy perennial gardens, inviting patio space, ample off-street parking, and a welcoming front porch with beautiful lake views. Ideally located just moments from downtown Wakefield, the commuter rail, restaurants, shops, parks, and major highways, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive property in one of Wakefield's most desirable locations.
