Listing broker remarks

Certain residences redefine the contemporary real estate aesthetic entirely. 21 White Oak Road is one of them. Set within one of Waban’s most coveted enclaves, this masterfully reimagined estate unfolds across 7,500 square feet of modern luxury. Five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and soaring eighteen-foot ceilings anchor the space. Purchased prior to completion and curated to an elevated standard of living, every finish — from the chef’s kitchen to the bespoke custom millwork, private gym, and bourbon room — represents a rare fusion of vision, design, and functional elegance. Soundproof media room with surround sound, perfect for movie marathons and gaming. Step outside to a private oasis featuring a sparkling newly completed pool and outdoor kitchen ready for entertaining. More than a home, it’s a lifestyle.— Compass
