Home of the Week: 5 Whiting Avenue

Editor's note: Home of the Week is a new feature that goes beyond what's in the listing, giving you an inside look at some of the great homes on the market in Dedham.

The detailing in this 1920s bungalow will transport you back to the era of Calvin Coolidge and flappers.

From the built-in wooden telephone booth, to the large built-in china cabinet in the dining room, this home has all the classic features mixed with modern living.

A pair of wood-framed French doors are a focal point of the breath-taking dining room that sits between an updated and era-sensitive kitchen, and a family room featuring a wood fireplace that welcomes in sunlight.

A bonus computer or day room lies behind the fireplace, and with windows on three sides, you'll never lose the sun as you pick-up a book off the built-in bookcases.

Most of the living space is on the first floor, with a large bonus room in the finished attic. The first floor features original hardwood floors and archways and wood beams on the ceiling.

Outside, you'll find a garden and a patio perfect for entertaining, and a one-car detached garage.

If you're in love with beautifully maintained, dark wood, this home is a must-see.
