Welcome to a unique opportunity to own your own Hamilton legacy property on 22 acres in the heart of horse country abutting miles of trails of conservation land for hiking, snowshoeing or riding. Properties like this rarely come to market. Just minutes from town center, top rated public & private schools, and a short commute to Boston, this is perfectly situated to enjoy North Shore and beyond.Among the interior hallmarks are high ceilings,hand carved decorative wood embellishments featuring beautiful crown & dentil moldings.Many of the chandeliers and fixtures are hand forged with hand blown glass. A wonderfully balanced flow allows for flexible use and extra tall windows let in the light. The home is equipped with four fireplaces, a white paneled kitchen with multiple built ins, butlers pantry with scullery & half bath, and a finished lower level complete with 3 guest suites, kitchenette, and fitness room /media room options. The view from the approach is of a grand estate,yet this was designed and can live like a ranch if single level living is your desire - with plenty of private space for guests, family or live ins on lower level. The first-floor primary suite has its own fireplace as well as direct access to terrace through a spa like bathroom overlooking the rear garden with western views over neighboring equestrian properties.Outside, the manicured grounds come with a gunite pool, brick pool cabana with kitchenette & summer bathroom and numerous al fresco entertaining spaces, including a porch overlooking pond and bird resplendent conservation land. Helping ensure privacy are mature trees, professionally landscaped grounds,New England stone walls and a long driveway. The house is not visible from the street.
