About this home

An extraordinary collaboration between renowned architect, Kent Duckham and prominent developers The Legend Group combined forces to create this outstanding California Contemporary, slated to be completed in the fall of 2023. The home is perfectly sited on almost an acre of property on one of Newton’s most prestigious streets. Each feature has been carefully selected and the Legend Group’s craftsmanship is exceptional. Six bedrooms and six full baths. The main suite is secluded and spans the depth of the home. With east-west and southern exposures, the home is designed for maximum sunlight. Baldpate Hill is the highest elevation in Newton and this home was designed to capture the sun's rotation in all seasons.
