About This Property

Timeless architecture and thoughtful restoration define this distinguished Mediterranean inspired residence, set on a corner lot of over half an acre with mature landscaping and private, hedge-lined grounds. A terra cotta tile roof, cream stucco facade, copper gutters and downspouts, and circular drive establish a stately arrival. A grand entry hall extends from the front entrance to the rear patio, creating an elegant connection through the home. Soaring ceilings, rich mahogany millwork, and fireplaces reflect its enduring craftsmanship. The spacious dining room, crowned by a coffered ceiling, offers an inviting setting for intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat with its own fireplace, walk-in closet, and beautifully appointed bath. Three additional bedrooms include one with an ensuite bath and two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. An office with French doors and a separate laundry room complete this level. The newly finished basement with a half bath offers versatile space for an additional living area, gym, or playroom. Modern systems include central air, whole-house filtration, Burnham four-zone heating, radon mitigation, and new electrical. An expansive bluestone patio and terrace invite alfresco dining and leisurely afternoons overlooking the grounds. Moments from Phillips Beach and the 1928 Beach Club, with local trails and Vinnin Square's shops and restaurants nearby.
