About This Home

As of May 2021

Stunning Nantucket-style shingle home in sought after Bittersweet Farm, abutting the SK land trust, a picturesque bucolic setting of woods, fields & signature homes near downtown Wakefield with its lighted streets, shops & restaurants, just minutes to sandy beaches, theater, public parks & preserves. This 4,480 SF masterpiece is a visual playground in and out with large rooms and sitting areas, a huge eat-in kitchen, dining area overlooks a post & beam great room with vaulted soaring ceilings and stone fireplace. Versatility comes to mind with 2 master suites, one on the first floor and a master en-suite addition on the second with cathedral ceilings, claw foot soaking tub and walk-in steam shower. From the minute you walk in the front door you realize this home is a place to enjoy family and friends with an oversized kitchen and dining area and mudroom, great room & wide plank wood flooring. The first floor also provides an office and a den/library with built-in cabinetry. The rear of the home overlooks a gorgeous in-ground gunite pool, jacuzzi & cabana for summer fun. The front of the home overlooks professionally landscaped grounds with circular driveway and a post & beam barn currently a woodshop but could be easily converted to an in-law by zoning or could be an artist studio or horse barn. Wherever you are in this wonderful home you feel the privacy and tranquility of woods and nature around you, yet it's conveniently located to the best of South County amenities.
