Listing broker remarks

A rare riverfront sanctuary with a front-row seat to nature’s quiet beauty. This unique home is set among lush perennial gardens offering abundant privacy and a peaceful natural backdrop. Built in 1862, the home has been thoughtfully expanded over the years while preserving its original character. River views can be enjoyed from nearly every room and are especially striking from the expansive glass-enclosed sunroom. Recent upgrades include interior and exterior painting, a new roof, HVAC, windows, doors, and more. The open, flexible layout is perfect for creative living, entertaining, and working from home. Ideally located with easy access to Wellesley Center, South Natick, and Elm Bank Reservation. Whether you’re an artist, gardener, or nature lover seeking peace and beauty, this is a truly special offering.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
