When you are in the real estate business for as long as I have been, often enough assorted buyers will ask you about a specific home in town. They will use it as a reference point for beauty or point to it and say “Oh, I love that one! Is there anything like that on the market?” or “That house is my dream home!” It is so interesting to me when that happens over and over again with one particular home. I study those houses and try to determine why they impact people from different parts of the country with various backgrounds in exactly the same way. As you could imagine, I was thrilled to connect with the homeowner of one such house. It has been such a joy and pleasure to advise, guide and now represent the current homeowner of 602 Main Street. In every way, kind and thoughtful exchanges occur every time we have the pleasure of conversing. That said, it is now time for the family to move on and allow the next family to enjoy the fruits of the meticulous eyes and effort that created this spectacular property. Classic style, and my client’s particular attention to detail, make 602 Main Street stand out among the rest.
Its original heritage dates back to 1948 however it has been reimagined over the years and brought to a standard that is not often met when it comes to renovations. The property would be a terrific multi-generational home or a dream home for an active family. If you entertain guests, do not expect a swift departure! This home offers desirable amenities that make for a very comfortable stay. The main house is a custom Colonial home consisting of four bedrooms and encompasses 4,814 s.f. of curated living space. A second residence, in the carriage house, serves as a guest house that can be on double duty as a pool house. It features one bedroom and an additional guest area, boasting a spacious 1,763 s.f. of living space. The pool is perched just off the carriage/guest house and is certainly a thing of beauty. Another amazing experience this home offers is that the destination pool is not visible from the main house. This is terrific when the pool season ends as there are no covers to look at from the house. Park-like views of the meticulously designed landscape and mature well-placed plantings abound. Patios and balconies ensure hours of enjoyment while offering commanding views of the exterior grounds. Outdoor spaces include a built-in fire pit, a fireplace as well as a natural gas grilling station. The guest house offers a different
perspective of the landscape and has an expansive patio entertainment area that surrounds the pool. This area is perched well above Main Street and serves as a private oasis in what is a sidewalk-to-center location. When it comes to a description of the interior, I will only say that it offers an absolutely timeless New England aesthetic. In every way, this home exemplifies classic and thoughtful design. No expense was spared when the house was reimagined. One of the rooms that really spoke to me was the sunroom that is on the west side of the house. A spacious room with brick floors and multiple french doors, it beckons for entertaining. Bright and window-filled with beamed ceilings and shiplap trays, this special and temperature controlled room is built for family events or a room to read in on a weekend afternoon. The formal rooms are spacious and contribute to the classic aesthetic described above. This really is a home that needs to be experienced rather than described. There is no description I could offer here that could capture the essence or experience this home offers. It is special indeed. Please reach out to my office directly if you would like to take a look at this property. If it is in your price range, do not miss it. It is truly an opportunity of a lifetime and an outstanding place to call home.
