Property Description

The perfect blend of New England tradition and modern living, this Colonial-style residence offers over two acres of private country-estate serenity in one of Dover's finest neighborhoods only twenty minutes from downtown Boston right across from a trailhead to a vast woodland preserve. Original millwork, exposed beams, and classic architectural details add to the open, inviting feel of this comfortably livable historic home, carefully renovated by its owner, a noted preservation architect.

Features And Amenities

The front-to-back foyer with a diamond-pattern stenciled floor opens out to a wisteria-trellised terrace looking southwest over the beautifully landscaped grounds. Original wood-burning fireplaces and built-in bookcases appoint the warmly elegant living room with an adjoining sun porch, the formal dining room, and the central family room soaring to a beamed cathedral ceiling. The gourmet kitchen adjoins a sunny breakfast room. The master suite features a fireplace, dressing room and an updated, ensuite bathroom. There is also a lower-level playroom, and attached garage, and a detached garage with separate home office studio.
