RARE MID-CENTURY ACREAGE ESTATE WITH RANCH HOME AND POOL Nestled on a sprawling 4-acre private peninsula of mature timber, this architectural marvel presents an unreplicable fusion of 1953 structural integrity and premium luxury infrastructure. Built to a standard of craftsmanship that would cost over $1.15M to replicate today, the exterior is defined by magnificent, solid stone masonry and crowned by a genuine, heavy-grade natural slate roof engineered to endure for generations. Step inside to experience an expansive 4,600 square feet of total living space perfectly divided across two levels. The expansive main-floor ranch footprint and the matching, fully finished lower level are anchored by two spectacular masonry fireplaces, creating unmatched environments for both grand entertaining and intimate family living. The rooms are large and the home boosts a lot of closets and hardwood flooring and special touches. The plumbing and electrical have been updated and the home is move in ready with natural gas. Custom paint finishes and closet systems along with hardwood flooring and tiled showers in the bath are among the many updates this home has to offer. The estate's exterior grounds function as a private luxury resort. More than 25 mature, towering evergreens and vibrant maples form a pristine, natural windbreak and privacy behind and around an inground pool area. Engineered for peak mechanical efficiency, the property features two separate private wells. The outdoor space allows for horses and there is even room for a pond. Secluded yet highly accessible within the coveted Waltham District 185 perimeter, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an estate of irreplaceable character, stone-carved permanence, and natural beauty.
