About This Home
As of July 2025What a value!!! Perched atop one of Hopkinton’s most treasured locations, this mid-century modern retreat is nestled at the end of a quiet dead end road along scenic Gould Hill, home to the beloved apple orchard, sweeping views, stunning sunsets, and a deep connection to nature. Evening walks in the summer greeted by the Barred Owls that watch over the hill. With walls of windows that draw in natural light and offer treehouse like serenity, this home inspires creativity and calm. Thoughtfully designed with timeless features, including a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a brick hearth and built-in storage, gleaming hardwood floors, and a wraparound deck perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. The spacious primary bedroom includes a private bathroom, while the walk-out lower level provides additional living space with sliders to the peaceful outdoors. Modern comforts meet self-sufficiency with a whole-house generator and an alternative wood-burning furnace. Located in quintessential Hopkinton—where parades fill the town center, the general store is still a gathering place, and community spirit is alive and well. Enjoy top-rated schools, countless hiking trails, rivers for kayaking and fishing, ponds for swimming and skating, and nearby skiing. All just minutes to I-89 and I-93, with an easy commute to Boston or the coast. This is more than a home, it’s a place to live fully and breathe deeply
