This modernist new construction is eye-catching, but not a seamless fit in its very conventional Waltham Highlands setting. The property does a great job of making the most of its highlands setting, offering a spectacular view from the...
floor-to-ceiling windows on the main living space in the third floor. Also a wonderful view from the deck that can be accessed from all three bedrooms on the second floor. This one is certainly unique for the location.

With breathtaking vistas from walls of glass and an open floor plan encompassing the whole top level, this stylish Modernist home was designed with entertaining and urbane living at the forefront. Imagine coming home to an extremely low maintenance free-standing home, pulling your car into the heated two-car garage, opening a bottle of wine in the sleek kitchen, and strolling through the open-plan living room to floor-to ceiling corner windows overlooking the Boston skyline. Or maybe you envision yourself basking in the morning sun with coffee on the deck, or barbecuing out there with friends. You can live it in a newly built Modernist home with high-end finishes — like sapele mahogany and leathered granite — without the prohibitive price that one typically finds in the Boston area. The bedroom level encompasses a luxurious master suite with a boutique-hotel-like en suite bath, plus two other bedrooms with shared full bath. Convenient to shopping, restaurants, Brandeis, and more.
