About this home
Welcome to a premier property in the coveted Precinct 1 neighborhood, this distinguished residence combines timeless elegance, generous scale, and an exceptional location just steps from downtown Dedham. Beautifully positioned, the home showcases hardwood floors, classic finishes, and refined carpentry throughout. The sun-filled first floor offers gracious living, dining, family room and country kitchen with brick fireplace, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living & entertaining. With 8 bedrooms in total, including 3 in a private accessory apartment on the top floor, the home offers exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, or au pair accommodations. Six fireplaces add architectural charm, while a detached 2-car garage and expansive grounds complete this rare offering. From its stately presence to its unbeatable proximity to downtown Dedham, this is a special opportunity to own a home with history and charm.
Downtown Dedham, located between the Charles River and Route 1, is a historic and walkable Dedham neighborhood with a courthouse green and a compact main-street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the junction of High Street and Court Street, where brick storefronts, independent cafés, and small boutiques line the sidewalks. Legacy Place adds a modern retail-and-dining counterpoint at the edge of the district. Civic architecture and 19th-century commercial blocks frame short blocks that lead toward river views and pocket parks. Side streets mix classic New England houses with small multifamily buildings, keeping the streetscape textured. Seasonal events and a strong local dining scene keep the center active from morning coffee through evening meals.
