Sited privately in Lincoln Center on 6.25A park like grounds, this rare architectural estate seamlessly blends history, modernism and sustainability. Originally built in the 1860 as a Victorian manor, the home was reimagined in 1950 introducing the Bauhaus principles of clean lines, functional design and indoor-outdoor harmony. Today, after a meticulous LEED-certified restoration, the residence stands as both a preserved landmark and a showcase of modern luxury. Expansive glass walls, dramatic overhangs, and a sculptural spiral staircase define interiors that flow with light and openness. A kitchen with recycled glass and quartz countertops, professional-grade appliances and radiant-heated stone floors anchors the home. Five spacious bedrooms, spa-inspired baths and flexible living spaces include a library, office, music room, recreation room and wine cellar, offering comfort and versatility.
Lincoln Center Historic District, located between Massachusetts Avenue and Lincoln Road, is a historic and civic Lincoln neighborhood with a walkable village green and a classic New England streetscape. The district’s character concentrates around the Lincoln Public Library and Bemis Hall, where brick sidewalks, small civic buildings, and low-key storefronts set a town-center rhythm. Architectural cues lean Colonial Revival and early-20th-century civic design, with preserved facades and tidy setbacks. The deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum adds contemporary art energy just up the road. Trails and open land at nearby Minute Man National Historical Park shape daily routines toward walking and cycling. A commuter rail stop anchors regional connections without breaking the quiet scale.
