While stately and spacious, this home exudes warmth and includes extensive outdoor entertaining space, a massive lawn, a direct entry oversized two car garage and professionally landscaped grounds with mature plantings. It was the first LEED silver residence constructed in New England and offers highly-efficient systems, solar panels, a 20,000 gallon rainwater reservoir for irrigation along with environmentally-conscious material choices. The home is set at the end of a cul-de-sac in a secluded enclave of established homes yet is only about a mile to the Newton Centre T, shops and restaurants.

A striking foyer is a fitting introduction to this spectacular home. To the left is an airy living room with a fireplace and across the hall is the grand dining room with built-in storage, including a room for table leaves and extra chairs. These rooms are both designed with hosting in mind. A gorgeous butler’s pantry leads to the expansive kitchen with every amenity, including custom cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances and an expansive island with a breakfast bar. Completely open to the kitchen is the breakfast room with a bay of windows and cozy window seat. The breakfast room opens to the amazing family room with another fireplace and built-in cabinetry. French doors from the breakfast room/family room space lead out to the massive deck with abundant space for even the largest gatherings. A sun-filled music room is accessed off the family room and living room, and has French doors to a more intimate covered deck overlooking the yard and play area. An atrium off the kitchen leads to the well-appointed mudroom with direct entry to the garage, the laundry room with pantry storage and the privately-sited first level bedroom suite. A staircase from this atrium opens to the quiet, sunny office – perfect for working alone or hosting in-person a meetings. The powder room off of the foyer completes this level.

The second level landing has an inviting window seat, perfect for curling up with a book. This level is home to the sumptuous primary suite with a large bedroom, a private deck, a dressing area with two walk-in closets and the tranquil primary bathroom with a soaking tub, frameless glass shower and double vanity. There is another great bedroom with a sitting area and an en-suite full bathroom, plus two large offices and a powder room. One of the offices is an ideal place to create a nice bedroom with an en-suite full bathroom. The third level has a flexible floor plan including a wonderful bedroom suite with an office/homework area and an en-suite full bathroom, two more bedrooms, a bonus room and the fifth full bathroom. This is the ultimate space for longer-term guests, live-in help or teenagers.

Finished with the same care as the main levels, the remarkable lower level offers ample additional living space. There is an enormous open room with an oversized built-in media area and play area with game storage, plus a climate-controlled wine room. A spa-like vestibule connects this space to the commercial-quality home gym as well as the sixth full bathroom and French doors to the backyard. The gym can be also accessed directly through the garage, bringing the activity out to the stone and cement driveway with a basketball hoop and parking for all your friends. This prestigious residence has been immaculately maintained and is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of this scale in a prime location
