About this home

Set on 5-acres of wooded & landscaped grounds, this historic home was one of acclaimed architect H.H. Richardson's last residential commissions. Enter this unique space from the private entrance in the enclosed brick courtyard. The 2-bed, 2 1/2 bath condo has been impeccably designed & extensively renovated. Updates include a new cook's kitchen with lacquer cabinetry & quartz counters, completely new bathrooms including an ensuite, and a stacked stone fireplace with gas logs. And just wait until you see the loft-style office upstairs with a 12' live edge built-in desk! New systems include tankless hot water (2018), electric panel (2019), Central A/C (2019), and furnace (2022). Enjoy your private Azek deck right off the kitchen, and meander on the brick and gravel walking paths to explore the grounds, including 100-year-old specimen trees. To top it off, in-unit laundry, garage parking & outdoor spot included, and very generous storage. This is one you don't want to miss!

Come home to the charm of exquisite country living located inside Route 128 with easy access to Downtown Boston, Longwood, Cambridge, and surrounding points. Enjoy the tranquility of five beautifully landscaped acres of field and forest filled with wildlife high atop Newton's second-highest point, with views of the Blue Hills, accessible by a winding private driveway. The Bigelow House Estate dates to 1886 when renowned architect H.H. Richardson was commissioned by a pioneering MGH anesthesiologist to design a "country estate." Today the property consists of five rarely-available condominiums, of which this is among the most private with 1667 square feet of comfortable living space on two floors. Tigerwood flooring and staircase. Two bedrooms with full en-suite baths upstairs and half bath downstairs. Butternut cabinetry in kitchen. Upstairs den/study area. Close to schools as well as public transit, the Needham-Newton Innovation District, and the new UMass campus (formerly Mount Ida).
