Overview
Description
A rare Andrew Cobb-designed home set on a private, mature lot in the heart of Bedford. Built in 1919, this remarkable property retains its original Craftsman character, including rich wood trim, original doors and hardware, thick ceiling beams, built-ins, leaded glass, multi-pane windows, warm panelling, and a striking stone fireplace. The setting is equally special, with nearly an acre of mature trees, English-style gardens, stonework, and peaceful outdoor spaces overlooking the Bedford Basin. Thoughtful updates include a fully renovated kitchen with new cabinetry, granite countertops, backsplash, dishwasher, and modern appliances, upgraded bathrooms, refinished flooring, new lighting, fresh paint and trim, select window treatments, chimney work, porch support improvements, a renewed 200-amp electrical system, and a new ducted heat pump providing whole-home heating and air conditioning. A home of true character, history, and presence — beautifully preserved, thoughtfully updated, and unlike anything else in Bedford.
