Listing broker remarks

A rare opportunity to own an authentic midcentury modern home in an exceptional setting near Bare Hill Pond and conservation land. Set on 2.68 idyllic wooded acres, this distinctive property has been thoughtfully restored with an appreciation for its original architectural character and craftsmanship. Redwood vertical siding and Marvin Elevate windows complement a striking interior featuring poplar trim, period-appropriate 9-panel solid doors with Emtek hardware, a Sapele mahogany feature wall in the living/dining room, and a black walnut feature wall in the spacious fireplaced family room. The kitchen with adjoining breakfast area enjoys peaceful views of the wildflower meadow, while the first-floor primary suite offers convenient single-level living. An expansive adjoining room with a huge indoor pool presents an exciting opportunity to reimagine a truly unique space. Outside, enjoy a private patio with fireplace, low-maintenance landscaping, and a serene wooded backdrop. Significant improvements include a new septic system (2022), heat & AC enabled mini-splits (2022), gutters (2025), bedroom hardwood floors (2026), and new driveway, walkway and front steps. A one-of-a-kind property close to outdoor recreation with convenient access to Route 2 and I-495.— Keller Williams Realty Boston Northwest
