About this home

This distinguished residence on one of Winchester's most notable streets is a celebration of grand proportions, exquisite period craftsmanship, and timeless architectural beauty. High ceilings, four fireplaces, original hardwood floors, and beautifully scaled rooms create a sense of elegance that is increasingly difficult to find. The grand dining room is full of original details, anchored by a large fireplace and a big picture window that fills the room with natural light. A gracious living room offers another fireplace, beautiful hardwood floors, and impressive ceiling height, providing an elegant setting equally suited to intimate evenings and large-scale entertaining. A handsome first-floor study and south-facing sunroom offer quieter retreats, while the original butler’s pantry, complete with its own marble sink and original cabinets, speaks to the home’s history and the gracious way in which it was designed to be lived in. Six bedrooms + three full baths provide exceptional flexibility across the upper levels, with generous proportions and architectural details continuing throughout the home. Bonus space on the top floor and in the partially-finished basement provides room for a second home office, media room, gym or in-law space. The large patio offers privacy and entertaining space, while the grassy backyard has ample room to play. A rare three-story garage, originally designed with both chauffeur's quarters and a greenhouse, presents intriguing possibilities for the next owner. Set along prestigious Everett Avenue, in the Ambrose School District, it's a quick stroll to the town center, bus to Alewife, or Wedgemere Train Station. This residence offers an opportunity to become the next steward of a home whose craftsmanship, scale, and character simply cannot be replicated today.
