An exquisite retreat on a bend in Charles River, 344 Dedham Street is an elegant mid-century modern house set on 6 private acres within a larger envelope of conserved land. Designed by famed architect Hugh Stubbins, the protégé and colleague of Walter Gropius, it offers 2800 feet of open living surrounded by terraces and beautiful gardens while taking maximum advantage of long river views. An atrium with clerestory windows runs much of the length of the house, filling it with bright indirect light. Thoughtfully conceived to maximize its footprint, the house includes floor-to-ceiling windows, fieldstone fireplace, stone floors with radiant heat, and recently upgraded systems. Located in what may be Dover’s best commuting location, it’s just two miles from Rte. 128/95 and vibrant Needham Center. This is one-of-a-kind gem. Come make it your own.

A mid-century modern gem in a serene riverfront setting. A simple, elegant, house by Hugh Stubbins (Architect of Fed Reserve Bank Boston, Citicorp NYC), filled with light from clerestory windows. Like living in a houseboat - efficiently designed living space right on the banks of the Charles - except that this houseboat is on six acres with beautiful gardens, a handsome fieldstone fireplace and radiant heat. Easements limit expansion of house and prohibit further development.
