Winchester Home of the Week: 44 Swanton St.

This beautiful newly-restored condominium is one of only two units within a nearly century old Winchester gem.

This stylish and smart bi-level condex is housed in an historic 96 year-old structure. It was renovated five years ago resulting in two individual residences with an eclectic mix of its rich past and promising future.

Many architectural details still remain in this home from its unique interior lines, to its elevated ceilings, lovely pine floors and classic moldings. When it was restored, however, many contemporary designs were skillfully implemented and upgraded materials applied to offer a spacious, well-appointed home filled with numerous conveniences and premier amenities.

Its generous 2,174 square feet of living space is visually expanded by soaring ceilings and a fluid floor plan. The front-to-back 13-by-12 square foot living room and 13-by-12 square foot dining area rally their dimensions to create a seamless space for entertaining. The 13-by-12 square foot family room fluently intermingles with its neighboring 13-by-12 square foot state-of-the-art kitchen that is filled with gourmet ingredients, including first-grade cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a glass and marble backsplash, granite surfaces and a new center island with quartz composite. This level also includes a 14-by-13 square foot bedroom and full bath to accommodate guests or residents who prefer convenient single-floor living.

The second story works with the home's period architecture resulting in interestingly configured bedrooms that boast charming vignettes and overhead skylights. This floor includes a 16-by-14 square foot master bedroom that features a cathedral ceiling, custom closets and bamboo floors, two family bedrooms at 15-by-13 and 14-by-9 square feet, a full bath and a bonus 10-by-9 square foot loft.

This versatile and well-designed home is a great opportunity for new homebuyers to enter the Winchester real estate market or for empty nesters looking to downsize without sacrificing space and comfort. Many expenses are also covered under a nominal monthly fee to share overhead expenditures and minimize individual maintenance. It is also a fantastic prospect to personally participate in preserving Winchester's rich residential history and paving the way for future generations to appreciate this town's formidable past.
