About 18 Washington Street

This well maintained century home with a commanding corner lot has become a classic and well loved landmark for Bridgetown residents. Built in 1903 by a one of the founding families, this 2.5 storey home hasn’t lost any of its old world charm. With hardwood floors throughout, wainscoted walls, double storey bay windows, classic tin ceilings, decorative banisters, original stained glass, door trim & hardware, craftsman built cabinetry and farmhouse sinks, you will be transported back in time. As you enter the large eat-in kitchen, you can almost smell the bread rising on the butcher block counter top. The overall feeling of this home is warm and inviting. This house offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a regular height original solid stone basement with walk-out. The extra loft space provides a rec room and 4th bedroom that your teens will love. The spacious primary bedroom has bright bay windows providing the perfect spot for a reading nook, plus a walk-in closet. The upstairs bath has been designed with families in mind – the soaker tub and extra large shower have a privacy door separating them from the main bath area. Behind the house sits a fully wired (with separate panel) garage and workshop and the sidewall of the garage connects to the BBQ deck providing privacy and protection. The house has had many upgrades – 200 amp electrical panel, baseboard heaters in loft, new circulating pump in furnace 2022, new metal chimney liner (2024) and new paint throughout. The 60 yr old wood/oil furnace will need to be replaced, but it currently works well and has several useful years left in it. Current owners love the option of burning wood. When the spring comes, you will revel in the lush gardens, stone walkways, fire pit and ornamental bushes. A few summertime photos show what a magical yard this is.
