About this home

Set high on a hilltop and surrounded by nearly three acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this enchanting Cape-style cottage offers sweeping views toward Boston and a wonderful sense of seclusion. Stone walls, mature plantings, garden areas, and a gently sloping landscape give the property the romance of an English country retreat, the kind of place where you truly feel miles away from it all. A broad deck off the living room and a private patio off the family room carry the living space outdoors, with lovely spots for entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply taking in the quiet. Inside, generous picture windows frame the gardens and the distant skyline. Crown moldings and timeless architectural details reflect the care of the current owners, whose backgrounds in architecture and design shaped thoughtful choices throughout. The handsome living room flows into a library lined with built-in bookcases and introduces spectacular views. The updated kitchen, open to the family room, features abundant granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and an adjoining butler’s pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite offers an updated bath with a steam shower and a spacious custom walk-in closet. Meticulously maintained and beautifully presented, this distinctive home pairs privacy and character with everyday convenience, close to Lincoln’s library and schools, conservation land and trails, and major commuting routes.
