225 Walnut Street is a five-bed, four-and-a-half-bath home that sits on just under one half-acre.

225 Walnut Street could be a record deal for Saugus, where only one house, 61 Walnut Street, sold for over $1.5 million in Saugus in the last 30 years, according to MLS data.

Currently listed at $1,999,900, 225 Walnut Street is a five-bed, four-and-a-half-bath home that sits on just under one half-acre. Measuring 3,627 square feet, the contemporary-style property was completed this year.

A front yard with intricate stone and ironwork is dotted with evergreen trees. Walk up the front steps to a 260-square-foot porch, the ideal spot for enjoying your morning coffee. Step inside to the 88-square-foot foyer, which welcomes you with hardwood floors that flow throughout the home. To the left is the mudroom, filled with extra storage and cubbies. In the living room, which measures 326 square feet, an electric fireplace is perfect for getting cozy. Efficiency-rated Andersen windows stream in natural light, while 10-foot ceilings complete the sunlit space. That flows naturally into the 170-square-foot dining area. 

The space moves into the 219-square-foot kitchen, where a central island is constructed from quartz. The stainless steel appliances are all JennAir, and there’s plenty of bar seating as well as a wine refrigerator. A custom, built-in coffee machine is perfect for your morning jolt in the breakfast nook, which measures 101 square feet.

The first floor also features a laundry room with a new washer/dryer and a half-bathroom.

Four of the bedrooms are on the second floor, including the luxurious 225-square-foot private bedroom suite. It features a 96-square-foot walk-in closet, as well as a spa-like en-suite bathroom with dual sinks, heated floors, and black-and-gold marble floors and walls.

Another unique feature on the second story is the balcony, which measures 446 square feet and provides views of the backyard. 

The home’s lower level offers plenty of extra space and its own entrance from the side of the property. A 479-square-foot recreation room is a casual hangout spot, and the wet bar features a beverage refrigerator. You’ll also find the fifth bedroom, a 278-square-foot space, on the lower level. It has a walk-in closet, and there is a bathroom with a steam room.

There is a two-car garage measuring 436 square feet with its own EV charger. 

The outdoor space includes a 583-square-foot partially covered patio, perfect for backyard barbecues. A recessed fire pit is great for backyard gatherings and a jetted spa, which can be hot or cold.

“It’s kind of like a cross between a pool and a hot tub,” says Andrew McCaul of McCaul & Mounsif Real Estate Group, Coldwell Banker Realty – Cambridge, who has the listing with Nadia Mounsif.

Beyond the stone patio space, there’s a grassy, fenced-in backyard. An outdoor kitchen features a grill, range, and plenty of storage.
