About This Home

Set on a rare, expansive lot abutting Ward Reservation, this exceptional home offers privacy, scale & proximity—minutes to Phillips Academy, downtown & highway access to Boston. A thoughtfully designed layout centers around a large kitchen w/ updated cabinetry, counters & appliances, blending classic colonial character w/ refined modern updates. The primary suite has been elevated to spa-like levels w/ steam shower, soaking tub & custom closets. The garage was redone under current ownership w/ great room above, mudroom & architectural cupola adding presence. Amazing lower level offers excellent entertaining space, gaming areas, walkout & two bonus rooms. The yard is the showstopper—expansive, dreamlike & designed for both everyday living & gatherings, w/ sweeping lawn, mature trees, curated landscaping, lighting, custom treehouse, zip line, grateful shed & composite deck w/ hot tub. All within the sought-after Bancroft & Doherty districts, a truly special home.
