Property Description
As quintessential Bridgewater as it gets, this exceptional residence - originally the Mallet District Schoolhouse, circa 1829 - was masterfully restored & expanded in 2006 - blending historic charm with modern amenities. Set on a coveted, level acre lot, framed by classic New England stone walls, the property offers gorgeous rolling lawns in a park-like setting. Inside, exquisite period details shine with wide-plank oak floors, stunning custom millwork, and five wood-burning fireplaces - complemented by phenomenal room scale and abundant natural light. The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with an 11-foot island, farmhouse sink, & gorgeous high-end appliances. The sunlit eat-in area opens to a serene bluestone patio. The open layout seamlessly flows to a paneled family room with fieldstone fireplace & powder room, as well as elegant formal living and dining rooms - both with striking brick fireplaces. The original school house wing features a private bedroom suite with sitting area & marble bath. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet, marble bath with clawfoot tub, and fireplace. Down the hall, there are 2 additional guest bedrooms, marble hall bath, and a laundry area. There is also a large walk-up attic and walkout lower level that both offer expansion potential. Outside, there is a charming two car detached garage. Situated in one of Bridgewater's most sought-after settings, this property offers the opportunity to embrace a refined country lifestyle.
