About this home
A rare opportunity to own a masterfully reimagined Colonial farmhouse two blocks from Concord Center on the prestigious American Mile! Significantly and stunningly renovated, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence seamlessly blends timeless architectural charm with sophisticated modern living. A gracious foyer welcomes you with a dramatic three-story turned staircase, soaring ceilings, and open concept main living spaces perpetually bathed in sunlight. The formal living room with oversize widows is open to the dining room with fireplace and southern-facing french doors overlooking the back yard. Refinished original wood floors and fabulous millwork throughout! Designed for today's lifestyle, the home features a light-filled chef's kitchen with a center island, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, SS Fisher Paykel appliances including a double dishwasher, hooded stove, and pot filler. A new first-floor powder room and coat closet complete the main floor. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite with private balcony overlooking the rear grounds, offers a spa-inspired bath with a wet room, soaking tub, marble floors, double vanity, and custom closet. Two additional guest rooms with built-ins, a glass-tiled full bathroom with quartz countertops and custom vanity, a laundry room, and linen closet round out the space. The third floor, reached by a pendant-lit stairwell, completes the home with two guest bedrooms, each featuring a main closet and additional built-in closets—offering exceptional storage rarely found in homes of this era. A fresh, beautifully appointed new full bath serves both bedrooms. New systems including heat pumps, radiant heat in all second and third floor bathrooms and primary closet, an 80 gallon hot water heater, and 400 amp electrical, are just a few of the upgrades. Professionally landscaped grounds with a southern-facing back yard, a back porch with built in seating, a new bluestone patio, mature shade trees dotting the side and rear lawns, an inviting front porch with a charming porch swing and a detached two-car garage are just some of the amenities offered in this extraordinary residence ideally located within walking distance of shops, restaurants, Alcott School, Concord Museum, Minuteman National Park, and trails.
American Mile, located between Monument Square and the Old North Bridge area, is a historic and walkable Concord neighborhood with a preserved colonial streetscape and a river-and-meadow edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Monument Square and Main Street, where independent bookstores, cafes, and small galleries set a literary, linger-and-stroll rhythm. The Concord Museum, The Robbins House, and The Umbrella Arts Center act as cultural anchors with year-round programming. Side streets feature clapboard Colonials, Federal-era homes, and tidy village-scale storefronts. Paths and lawns along the Concord River add a quiet counterpoint to the town-center bustle. Seasonal events and farmers-market energy keep the public spaces active without feeling hurried.
