Home of the Week: Three Stories of Living on Beautiful Grounds

Editor's Note: We'll be back in Newton for next week's Home of the Week.

This custom rebuilt contemporary has been expertly transformed into one of Waltham's most impressive pieces of modern real estate. It was resourcefully designed and tailored to take the open floor plan concept to another level utilizing its full height to feature soaring skylight ceilings on multiple floors that drench the entire interior with natural sunlight. Its organic look is further enhanced by accessorizing and subtly dividing spaces using clear glass and natural, premier materials. In addition to its appealing ascetics, it was also reconstructed to offer its residents luxurious accommodations for lodging, relaxation and recreation.

Another unique feature of this home is the versatile placement of its rooms within three levels of finished living space and viable options for single-floor living. The main floor contains a spectacular 19 x 15 square foot fireplaced living room, a 23 x 20 square foot media room, a 21 x 12 square foot bonus room and an 11 x 6 square foot satellite kitchen. This floor also includes three bedrooms at 19 x 11, 26 x 15 and 16 x 12 square feet.

The second level also hosts a combination of common and personal spaces, beginning with the 28 x 22 square foot family room and the 17 x 16 square foot dining area that share a two-sided floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The 22 x 12 square foot kitchen boasts top-of-the-line ingredients that include upgraded cabinetry and surfaces, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. The 17 x 14 square foot master suite is also available on this floor and includes a walk-in closet and marble Jacuzzi full bath. The finished basement fully utilizes the full generous footprint of this home by presenting two more well-designed areas with a 28 x 17 square foot great room and a 28 x 9 square foot study.

Outdoors, this property continues to shine above with exceptional enrichments within its three-quarters-of-an acre meticulously landscaped fenced-in grounds. Mature greenery shields and shelters this home and provides a picturesque backdrop for the oversized wrap-around deck and in-ground pool. These are just two examples of venues to relax and enjoy the scenery and terrain; the options are many, both inside and out.

This is a property that showcases wonderfully on paper, but in order to absorb its full, fabulous flavor, a personal tour is highly recommended. Schedule an appointment with Hans Brings of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage-Waltham today for the full experience.
