Listing broker remarks

Recently renovated Midcentury-Modern Peacock Farm-style home designed by pioneering modernist architect Walter Pierce in the coveted Turning Mill neighborhood, close to Estabrook School. Move right in and enjoy summer at the Paint Rock neighborhood swimming pool (optional)! The open floor plan is filled with natural light from walls of windows; the indoor-outdoor relationship that's a hallmark of the design; and soaring ceilings provide a pleasing sense of volume. Mini-split AC/heat pumps, Buderus boiler, HTP hot water tank, and stainless oil tank. The circa-2016 roof added two more inches of insulation. A Garapa Brazilian hardwood deck overlooks the fabulous backyard with a lawn and wooded privacy. The fresh interior finishes update the original midcentury-modern plan. The post-and-beam construction has few (if any) load-bearing walls, for maximum flexibility for future modifications. Here's your opportunity to get into a turnkey home, super close to Estabrook Elementary School, Burlington and Bedford shopping areas, and commuter routes.— Compass
