The rooms are large and the home boosts a lot of closets and hardwood flooring and special touches. The plumbing and electrical have been updated and the home is move in ready with natural gas. Custom paint finishes and closet systems along with hardwood flooring and tiled showers in the bath are among the many updates this home has to offer. The estate's exterior grounds function as a private luxury resort. More than 25 mature, towering evergreens and vibrant maples form a pristine, natural windbreak and privacy behind and around an inground pool area. Engineered for peak mechanical efficiency, the property features two separate private wells. The outdoor space allows for horses and there is even room for a pond. Secluded yet highly accessible within the coveted Waltham District 185 perimeter, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an estate of irreplaceable character, stone-carved permanence, and natural beauty.
