Some houses feel loved before you even step through the door, and 54 Emerson is one of them. This sun-filled and spacious classic New England Colonial has spent recent years being thoughtfully updated from the outside in, with a new roof, new windows and new siding, giving the home a refreshed exterior and added peace of mind for years to come. Inside, the new heating and central air systems provide comfort in every season, while the gas fireplace adds the perfect touch of ambiance and warmth. Beyond the home's major systems, the owners thoughtfully updated and reimagined several of its most-used spaces. The third floor was remodeled into a lovely retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, Murphy beds, full bath and private balcony, it's a space ready to adapt to the way you live. The second-floor bathroom was updated for a more modern feel and the sun room was transformed into a bright, flexible space, even the entryway was refreshed to create a warm, welcoming first impression the moment you walk in. Layered over all of that is a super convenient location that makes everyday life easier. You're a short distance from the MBTA Commuter Rail, with direct service into Boston's North Station—a genuine alternative to the drive for anyone commuting into the city. Convenient access to Routes 95, 93 and Route 1 keeps the rest of the region within easy reach for those commuting by car. And when the workday is done, downtown Wakefield is close by for dinner out, a walk around Lake Quannapowitt, or simply running errands without a long drive. It's a home where so much of the hard work has already been done—leaving you with the fun part: making it your own!
