One of Weston's most admired landmark homes, the Jonas Cutter Homestead, is proudly sited 100 feet behind a Chippendale fence on a nearly 1-acre lot of park-like grounds. This handsome 4 bed, 3 bath Colonial is a quintessential example of New England character & style. The foyer opens to an exceptional front to back living room brimming w/ architectural detail. The dining room has a wall of French doors leading to a brick patio & an incredible private yard. At the heart of this home is the gorgeous kitchen with sky-lit cathedral ceiling, white cabinets, stone counters and Wolf/Subzero appliances. A spacious family room w/ a cathedral ceiling, fireplace & full bath, a cheerful study and a light-filled office/mud room complete the 1st floor. 2nd & 3rd floors offer 4 beds & 2 tastefully remodeled baths. Every detail has been buttoned up including central heat, a/c, restored wide-plank pine floors, and many new windows throughout, making this home truly turn-key. #1 Weston schools
