About This Home

As of March 2022

This beautiful country home and gardens sit atop a gentle rise overlooking protected fields and forest in a gorgeous area of Dunstable. Architect-designed and created, the house and landscaping marry gorgeous, custom, traditional design with the owners' desire for a warm and comfortable family haven. Soapstone countertops, custom millwork, farm sinks, Wolf and Sub Zero appliances, join stacked fieldstone walls (including a raised stone terrace with fire pit, salt water pool and spa), meticulously maintained lawns and professionally designed gardens featuring lilac, hydrangea, birch and holly among many other flowering and evergreen plantings. Also featured is a first floor, own-entrance, own-kitchen one bedroom in-law apartment with the same level of detail as the main house. An attached oversized garage, along with separate two-story garage offers room for six cars. Inside and out, this home offers a level of detail, design, and craftsmanship rarely found today.
