About this home

Rare opportunity to own a stunning South Street property on the Charles River! Beautifully set on 4.5 acres of private and manicured grounds, this historied brick residence is a true show-stopper. Clean elegant lines define this spectacularly renovated and meticulously maintained 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home, offering an exquisite blend of architecturally significant detail, seamlessly melding an inviting neutral color palette honoring timeless design traditions with a contemporary interpretation. Perfect in proportion and design, the open living and dining rooms each feature high ceilings, elegant fireplaces and walls of custom floor-to-ceiling windows which provide an abundance of interior light and unspoiled views. Sun-splashed family room overlooks patio, rear grounds and rolling path leading to the Charles. White, granite, stainless-steel eat-in kitchen with over-size island. Fabulous en suite master, private guest accommodation and family bedrooms complete the 2nd floor. A jewel box!
