Property Description
Welcome to 120 Federal Street, where the elegance of the past meets the ease of modern living in the heart of historic Milton. Originally built in 1860 and then renovated in 2018, this timeless Colonial home has been thoughtfully restored to honor its storied roots while introducing contemporary upgrades that enhance comfort and style.
The first floor features original pine floors, lovingly preserved and seamlessly extended with custom-matched wood throughout the home, filling the space with warmth. Sunlight pours into the gracious living spaces, highlighting the Jotul enameled Cast Iron gas stove, built-in storage, and a fluid open-concept layout that makes entertaining both effortless and elegant.
The gourmet kitchen shines with upgraded cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a separate wine refrigerator, a gas range, and a cozy European-style breakfast nook—a perfect perch for morning coffee. The primary suite on the first floor offers tranquil water views of Wagamon's Pond, a walk-in closet, an oversized walk-in shower, and private access to a charming courtyard and outdoor shower.
The detached garage and extended driveway offer ample parking. Behind the home, you'll find the rear yard, large deck and a detached studio—recently renovated with a new roof, insulation, drywall, flooring, electricity, and stunning pond views—perfect as a creative space, reading nook, or meditation retreat. The fenced courtyard, lush landscaping, and serene pond setting provide a peaceful outdoor escape just steps from downtown Milton's cafes, shops, and dining.
Additional features and upgrades include 67 feet of water frontage on the Broadkill River, crawl space system with dehumidification, and a new roof installed on rear sections of the home. The home's mix of modern updates and historic charm creates a one-of-a-kind feel that honors its origins while offering contemporary comforts.
Located just a short walk to downtown Milton, local coffee shops, restaurants, and more, this home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy water views, privacy, and small-town walkability—all in one beautifully preserved historic modern home. Whether you're captivated by historic architecture, drawn to walkable small-town charm, or seeking the tranquility of waterfront living, 120 Federal Street offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the best of all worlds.
