Listing broker remarks

The architect’s vision for this exceptional 2025 residence was to preserve the timeless elegance of Georgian Revival architecture while reimagining the floor plan for contemporary living. The result is a beautifully balanced home with sun-filled, visually connected spaces that flow seamlessly to outdoor terraces, gardens, a 15' x 38' pool, and cabana. The design thoughtfully combines beauty and functionality, pairing classic architectural details with innovative building systems and energy-efficient technology. Distinctive elements include graciously proportioned rooms, symmetry, finely crafted millwork, a red-brick Georgian façade with limestone accents, French doors with transom windows, fireplaces with custom surrounds, and expansive wrap-around terraces. The result is a timeless yet thoroughly modern home—warm, inviting, and designed for effortless everyday living and entertaining, with exceptional connectivity between the interior and outdoors. Set in one of Newton’s most sought-after locations, the property is just steps from Newton Centre, minutes from The Street at Chestnut Hill, and approximately 15 minutes from Boston.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Brookline
