Listing broker remarks

Filled with natural light from walls of windows and multiple skylights, this expanded midcentury-modern classic features a great room acoustically designed for music performance. Originally designed by architect-developer Walter Pierce for the pioneering Peacock Farm neighborhood (on the National Register of Historic Places), the home has been thoughtfully updated. A mudroom links the addition to the original house and opens to a newer rear deck. The open post-and-beam main level includes a 2017 kitchen with an island, a gas range (propane), a dining area, and a living room with a fireplace. A split-level layout offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a primary en suite. The walk-out lower level adds a 4th bedroom and full bath. The versatile great room suits entertaining, family use, or guest/in-law space—ideal for musicians. High-end systems include a Buderus boiler and mini-split AC/heat pumps. Deeded neighborhood pool membership conveys. Minutes to Cambridge and Boston.— Compass
