Home Showcase: Restored waterfront beauty in Dedham
Embrace a piece of history with the stunning waterfront property at 725 High Street in Dedham — a harmonious blend of Victorian elegance and modern luxury. The Winslow Warren House, originally crafted in 1876, has been meticulously restored, merging its historic charm with contemporary amenities. The renovation took great care to preserve the character buyers look for in an old Victorian while brightening and opening up the space to suit a modern family.
From its perch on the banks of the Charles, serene views of the river greet you when you wake up in the home’s primary suite. The lavish digs boast a luxurious, upgraded bathroom and ample walk-in closets. The gourmet kitchen, featuring high-end appliances and a butler’s pantry, opens into a bright sunroom and an expansive deck, perfect for entertaining.
The main level exudes the period sophistication we expect from a stately Victorian, with a grand foyer leading to spacious rooms including a wood-paneled office, formal dining area, family room, and cozy sitting rooms. You’ll also notice architectural details like crown moulding, beamed ceilings, French doors, and wainscoting. Upstairs, four additional well-appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms join the primary suite. With more than 9,000 square feet, running out of room is practically impossible.
The property’s outdoor space is a true retreat, featuring an outdoor dining area, comfortable terraced lounge spaces, and lush gardens dotted with pear trees. A fireplace and a private dock for launching your kayak add to the year-round enjoyment of this enchanting estate.
On the market for $4,975,000, the sale of the home is represented by Eileen Strong O’Boy with Coldwell Banker Realty, 617-513-4343.
