About This Home

Set on a quiet street in the prestigious Cobbs Hill neighborhood, steps from the reservoir and beautiful Washington Grove park trails, this stately early 20th-century Colonial is a masterclass in thoughtful preservation and intentional modern living. From the moment you enter the grand foyer, the home announces itself: rich refinished hardwood floors (2020), generous proportions, and the kind of architectural detail that simply cannot be replicated. To the left, a comfortable living room and den invite you to settle in. To the right, a formal dining room flows seamlessly into what is arguably the heart of the home: a fully reimagined chef's kitchen (2024) appointed with quartz countertops, electric induction cooking, custom cabinetry with integrated hidden storage, new windows, and premium Sub-Zero and Miele appliances. Form and function, in perfect balance. On the second floor, four bedrooms and three full baths offer flexibility and privacy rarely found at this scale. Two primary suites, each with a walk-in closet and en suite bath, provide options for comfortable long term guests or simply the luxury of space. The primary bath is a standout: a beautifully renovated space where every design choice honors the home's original character. The fully finished third floor adds two additional bedrooms and a full bath, offering space for a guest suite, home office, or creative studio. The finished basement, complete with billiards table (2022), rounds out a home designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The home features a fully owned solar electric system, 200-amp service, multi-zone mini-split heating and cooling (2022), and an on-demand water heater. Outside, a freshly painted exterior (2022), fully fenced yard, low-maintenance perennial gardens, and resealed flat roof (2025) mean the work has been done for you. An attached 2.5-car garage provides generous space for vehicles and storage alike. This is the one you've been waiting for. Showings begin Thursday, May 7th. Delayed negotiations Tuesday, May 12th at 2PM.
