About this home

A gated modern residence of contemporary craftsmanship and calm precision, offering over 11,000 SF of living space on coveted Avon Hill. Light pours through vast panes of glass, dissolving the boundary between interior and landscape. Multiple terraces, a sunken patio with a two-sided fireplace, and a roof deck with its own fireplace create a seamless connection between house and garden. The private backyard, with its pool framed by mature trees and layered plantings, offers both openness and seclusion. Inside, warm natural materials and refined detailing define every room, from interconnected living spaces to quietly composed private rooms above. The primary suite is a sanctuary of light and serenity, with a vaulted ceiling, integrated storage, and a bath finished in stone and oak. The expansive lower level includes a guest or au pair suite, providing flexibility and privacy. Complete with two-car garage, advanced systems, and rare privacy just outside Harvard Square.
