About This Home

As of June 2025

This home and it's location are truly what dreams are made of. It is situated on 3 stunning acres at the very end of a private lane, centered between both top ranked schools in Northfield! In addition to it's gorgeous, classic exterior, and it's open, sprawling interior with gracious room sizes, the owners added a 2800-square-foot sport court/gym fit for an entire TEAM. Every space is perfectly laid out, whether it's the enormous mudroom and laundry room with full bath, the kitchen that opens to the dreamy vaulted great room, breakfast nook, and cozy sitting area, the french doors that all lead out to the bluestone patios, outdoor kitchen, and fireplace, or the wood paneled office that opens to the screened porch, this home exemplifies family living at it's finest. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring your decorating ideas and make your dreams a reality on the North Shore! Truly walking distance to school and Middlefork Tennis Club and in the heart of the magical neighborhood cut-throughs that make Northfield extra special.
