Description

A must-see richly renovated historic Westwood gem is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for buyers seeking sophisticated in-town living in one of Boston’s finest suburbs. Timeless charm defines the “Lowell Parker House,” a town treasure with pretty purple doors, a cozy portico, and a cobblestone driveway. Inside, the front of the house includes a mudroom, a study/den with built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace, one of two staircases to the second floor, and a dining room with a dedicated fireplace. A brilliant renovation introduced the open-concept, light-filled generous gathering spaces that define modern living without compromising the architectural integrity of the home. A spectacular eat-in kitchen with a center island, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry with pantry and wine storage, a devoted home office station plus a dining area with built-in bench seating is the heart of this home. Generous doorways and a whimsical “indoor window” offer abundant natural light and pretty views to an enormous 19’ by 19’ great room. A gas fireplace offers instant warmth and anchors this room with dramatic ceiling height. A wall of windows on one side and more built-ins line the other book lover’s dream. See-thru stairs to the second level lead to a beautiful and functional transitional space that includes dedicated laundry with a sink that can be easily accessed or tucked away behind louvered doors. Individual skylights mark the threshold of the two back bedrooms bathing these cozy chambers with natural light. A lovely, freshly painted ¾ bath is shared by these bedrooms as well as a third, private bedroom with two closets. The primary suite includes a renovated spa-like bath, a walk-in closet, and a wood-burning fireplace. Versatile lower-level media or playroom also easily accommodates guests and includes a renovated ¾ bath and egress to patio, yard, and sports court. Ample walk-in storage including a cedar closet and a bonus den completes this floor. Just in time for summer, an incredible oversized deck steps off the kitchen and a great room is the unsung hero of this home from April through October. Effortless entertaining steps from the chef’s kitchen, this outdoor room is the perfect place to linger with friends and neighbors.
