OPPORTUNITY in the Turning Mill Neighborhood abutting 15 miles of conservation of the Paint Mine Trail system connecting the Burlington Landlock Forest, is this MID-CENTURY MODERN home built by famed Cambridge architect Walter Pierce. In all its simplicity, he displays his pioneering open design concept with asymmetrical roofs and walls of glass "intended to improve people's lives by improving their relationship to the land". This Peacock Farm style home is awaiting your improvements to bring it up to a more current lifestyle. Enjoy this thriving community and "neighborhood walk" to the new Estabrook Elementary School. Deeded membership is available to the Paint Rock Pool. This is a wonderful chance to get into the historic metro-west Boston suburb with a history that led the American Revolution and in a super commuter location. Seller's architectural plans are available on site.
