This meticulously and lovingly restored residence delivers bespoke craftsmanship at every turn — soaring coffered ceilings, intricate paneling, and spandrel fretwork found only in the most exquisite of homes. The formal entry foyer welcomes you with original built-in benches, complete with their original leather seats and brass tacks, alongside exquisitely detailed millwork and a striking unglazed red clay quarry-tile fireplace — the first of three in the home. That same sophistication carries into the grand Dining Room, where you'll find integrated storage in the built-ins flanking the fireplace. Dine in the present while the fretwork, millwork, and period details speak to a bygone era. The spacious Living Room continues the story with its own coffered ceilings, the third fireplace, an original stained-glass window, and a gorgeous round nook — the perfect spot for a chess table or a cozy reading corner. The expansive kitchen roots us in 2026 with unending quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a vented induction cooktop and a massive island. French doors open onto a mahogany deck designed for privacy — ideal for a quiet morning coffee, afternoon break, or unwinding in the golden-hours. Custom milled paneling flanks the roomy staircase, escorting you to the second floor's 4 spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a private dressing room and ensuite bath featuring a glass shower. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms each offer their own charm, one of which includes a built-in window seat with storage. The 4th bedroom is perfectly suited for a home office, nursery or guest room. On the third floor, a versatile lounge and 5th bedroom await under vaulted ceilings and skylights — a wonderful separate retreat for creative pursuits, guests, or simply a private lounge. Do you want room to grow, entertain, and simply breathe? Set on a coveted double lot (11,250 sq ft), the grounds are just as impressive as the home itself: a lush front lawn, pea stone patio, multiple garden spaces, expansive mahogany deck, and newly built masonry walls create endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. A dual-access driveway and oversized custom shed complete the offering. And for those who want peace of mind? Every major system has been thoughtfully reimagined — electrical, plumbing, windows, kitchen, baths, exterior, roof, decks, and landscaping. This isn't just a home. It's a statement.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 3,117 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 11,250 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
