About This Home
As of March 2022A rare opportunity to own an outstanding Federal residence on bucolic 5 plus acres in the very heart of historic Greenfield Hill. This classic home awaits the buyer who appreciates warmth and elegance. Entertain family and friends in the formal dining room serviced by the butler's pantry. Sip iced tea on the patio just off the dramatic living room with one of three fireplaces, high ceilings and wide plank floors. Enjoy barbecuing out back while guests play lawn games on the expansive private yard overlooking nature preserve complete with stone walls, fenced cutting and meditation garden and even a barn (perfect for extra cars, a workshop, potting shed, or even a future pool house.) Grab some herbs from the garden to prepare a meal in the well equipped gourmet kitchen which flows to family room with custom built-ins. Or close the doors to the separate study to catch up on work or steal some quiet time for a quick read. Upstairs the master suite offers privacy, an inviting marble bath and spacious closets. Three family bedrooms, two full baths and laundry complete this floor. The finished third level offers a fun bunkroom plus an additional ensuite bedroom. Just off the family entrance and convenient double mud entry, above the three car garage is the bonus room/gym along with an au pair or in-law suite. Whole House Generator too! Welcome to 546 Old Academy Road!
