Description
On a tree-lined street just 15 miles south of Boston you will find a lovingly restored Victorian Shingle Style home, built as the summer estate for Augustus Hemenway II and his wife Harriet Lawrence Hemenway, founder of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, on 6 acres with an additional 12 acres of conservation land. The house was built in 1882 and designed by the notable architect William Ralph Emerson. The design is an important example of the Shingle Style, featuring elements of Neo-Tudor Style, with paired gables set with cobblestone cement and brick chimney. Full of architectural molding, wood paneled stairway, tiled fireplaces and detailed carvings, yet updated conveniences for modern day living and entertaining. This home has recently completed a 2-year full renovation. It is just waiting for the new homeowner’s personal finishes. This home has it all: tennis court, pool, jacuzzi, chicken coop, 2-car garage under with a 5-car attached garage and in-law apartment above!
