“Outstanding” describes everything about this magnificent custom built home! From its setting on 1.3+ beautiful, landscaped acres and continuing throughout the 10-room, 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 3,900+ sf home with exceptional millwork, built-ins, hardwood floors, 1st floor office, and 2nd floor laundry. A unique floor plan w/ classic pocket doors that allow (or not) for a fully open concept is masterful. The foyer opens to a huge fireplaced dining room w/ a lighted tray ceiling leading to the kitchen with chef-worthy appliances such as a Wolf stove. An adjacent dining area has a built-in bar with wine fridge, while a fireplace and window seats are in the family room with French doors to a sprawling back porch and large bluestone patio with granite firepit. A 2nd floor primary “sanctuary” has a sitting area, cherry walk-in closet, private balcony & luxury spa-bath with walk-in shower. Let’s not forget the great room, guest quarters and bath on the finished lower level. Now this is a must-see!

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 3,944 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 60,113 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
