MLS Remarks
Built in 1857 by master builder Joseph Kempt, this home was Bridgewaters first Presbyterian manse and later the residence of the towns first clerk. Its signature five-sided Scottish dormers, sweeping bay windows, and the towering linden tree out front make it instantly recognizable, but the magic goes well beyond the history. This isnt just a historic landmark -its a living, breathing home that has evolved with time. With two thoughtful additions blending seamlessly into the original structure, you get old-world craftsmanship, modern livability, and flexibility with two one-bedroom income units on the main floor. These units have been occupied by long-term tenants and have not undergone recent renovations, offering a great opportunity for updating and value-adding, whether to offset your mortgage or create the perfect setup for multigenerational living. Updates such as heat pumps, newer windows, and a wood stove bring comfort and increased efficiency. On the 2nd level is a gorgeous 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath sprawling home with bright open living and dining spaces, 12 ft cathedral ceilings, post and beams, wood ceilings, and plenty of century character. The setting feels almost like a private park. River views, stonework-lined perennial gardens, mature trees, and a greenhouse create a backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons. A paved driveway, attached garage with workshop space, and parking area make everyday life practical, while a separate two-story outbuilding with hardwood floors and a cozy wood stove opens up endless possibilities, a yoga haven, creative studio, meditation retreat, or the ultimate home office. 57 King Street isnt just a home, its a lifestyle. A blend of history, income potential, and true tranquillity, right in the heart of Bridgewater. (id:60351)
