Concord Home of the Week: 45 Williams Rd

This unique property evokes a timeless farmhouse chic with rustic craftsmanship and Victorian design. This home’s unique composition and subtle grandeur depicts the ultimate model of Concord’s historical origins. Prominently sited on a spectacular 1.2-acre lot, complete with a tree house, and is conveniently within walking distance to conservation land and bike trails, the Willard elementary, both Concord Middle School buildings, West Concord Village, Concord Center and Routes 2 and 117.

Immediately upon entry, visitors will admire the traditionally carved wooden window and banister details with colorful tiles and mix of rich paint colors which portrays its elegant country aesthetic. Proceeding down the hallway, the lofty ceiling of the barn addition reveals a sprawling great room with a tiled fireplace with ornate wooden details and two quaint window seats. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, an island with built in shelves and soapstone countertops wrap along three walls to include a farmer's sink and plentiful custom cabinets. Adjoining the kitchen is an expansive eating area with a built-in bench to easily accommodate family dining.  Double glass doors lead to the beautiful deck, perfect for grilling or lying out in the sun.

The second floor can be accessed from two staircases located in the front and middle of the house. Completing the second floor is a 24 x 13 square foot master bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with luxurious amenities, such as heated marble floors, marble countertops, dressing table, jetted tub, and tiled shower. The first of the remaining three sun-soaked bedrooms on this floor has a large walk-in closet and the adjacent bedroom offers two closets. The third bedroom has light pouring in from a wall of windows, a walk-in closet and ample space for two twin beds. The hallway offers an abundance of storage with two linen closets and a built-in bookshelf, and there is also a laundry room and two full baths on this level. All of the spaces on the expansive second floor offer original vintage details, multiple windows, and hardwood floors.

The third floor expands the home's living space and would make a perfect au pair or teenager suite with two rooms and an open landing.

The whimsical and practical design of this home displays a quiet confidence and strong character with its period design and craftsmanship. It offers an enduring sense of history and extraordinary renovations that fortunately preserved is historical ingredients. This home has and likely always will stand out above the crowd and will endure for years to come.
