Imagine the conversation at the holiday party when you are talking about HGTV and the conversation turns to so what style home is yours? and you reply a mansion. Back in 1911, Walter J. Berwick, owner of a large printing company, and his wife, Clara, commissioned architect Milton Howard to design and build their dream home. The result is this very special Norwood mansion. For over 100 years, 8 Chickering Road has stood as a stately residence and has been owned and loved by only one family since the Berwicks. The best way to describe the property is distinctive, classic and lasting. In a world of knock offs and fakes, there is only one Chickering mansion. This property was built using fine techniques of early craftsmen. A symbol of American quality with enduring value. Lot subdivision possibility. A smart buyer could profit by simply purchasing this home and obtaining a small variance to subdivide the large lot and sell it to a developer to cut their home purchase into half. Call us.
