163 Pleasant Street, Bridgewater

Description

This distinguished house was built around 1909 by Owen Maryatt for Captain Daniel Meisner. It beautifully combines Greek Revival architecture with charming Queen Anne details, creating a unique and sophisticated home. The house features a gable roof and a wrap-around veranda that contributes to its traditional beauty. The intricate woodwork inside and outside retains its historic character, with detailed wooden staircases, solid wooden doors for privacy, and newly refinished hardwood floors. Decorative hinges add a touch of period authenticity. The amazing chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home, with custom cabinetry that fits the character while offering modern functionality. It includes a propane oven and range, a secondary electric oven and warming oven in the pantry, soapstone countertops, and a central island with a dishwasher and breakfast seating. The cabinetry includes numerous soft-close drawers and pull-outs for convenience. The home has undergone major renovations over the last 8 years, and the bathrooms have been updated with contemporary plumbing, elegant fixtures, and glass-enclosed shower. The front room, with built-in bookshelves surrounding the original coal-burning fireplace (now a decorative feature), offers an ideal space for a library or home office. The bedrooms are large, and the laundry room on the second floor could easily be converted to another bedroom and ensuite. The property features 70-foot-tall Linden trees, said to be brought back by Captain Meisner from his travels, and the backyard is fenced with a large wooden deck and shaded gazebo. Four large, raised beds are available for growing your own kitchen garden. This remarkable property at 163 Pleasant Street merges the best of historical elegance and modern luxury, inviting you to embrace Bridgewater's rich heritage and offering a sense of home that’s hard to match.
