This 4,500 sq.ft. home is in the Boston Colonial style--a prestigious and remarkable estate--something you just do not see often. Attention to detail in the home's architectural elements is immediately apparent in the formal entry. It is "the" landmark home located in the very desirable LaLoma district of the city. The home was built on 1-3/4 acres. The walls of gathered rocks, set in mortar, delineating the various terraces give evidence of a property-enhancing craft of a bygone era. The home was completed in 1937 and since that date, much care has been taken to maintain a delicate blend of modernization and preservation.
Beyond the substantial front yard, the backyard drops down into a terraced hillside lined with mature trees--like a park. A 360-foot brick pathway meanders through the beautiful and serene landscape.
A columned Veranda extends along the entire back of the home. Beyond is a rose garden, a circular lawn and a red brick Courtyard which surrounds the 20' x 40' Grecian-style lighted Pool. A lovely Pergola, festooned with wisteria, marks a portion of the circular driveway.
This is a great home for entertaining, a family reunion, business meeting in a private setting, wedding parties, bridal shower, chamber music concert, graduations, intimate reunions, traveling with friends and family. And for the executive who cannot leave the "office" behind we have high speed DSL, wireless internet and free local and long distance calling (U.S. and Canada). |
