A Timeless Tudor on Massachusetts Avenue

This stately Tudor residence is a rare blend of classic architecture, enduring elegance plus thoughtful modern updates. Set back gracefully on Mass Ave just below Macomb, the home commands attention while offering exceptional privacy.

Spanning four finished levels, the layout is both grand and livable. Three fireplaces heighten the home's aura. The main level features a formal dining room, a generous living room, and a beautifully opened and expanded kitchen that flows seamlessly into a spectacular great room anchored by a dramatic stone wall fireplace and filled with natural light. A full bath completes the main floor.

The second level offers three bedrooms and two baths and the easily accessible laundry. The second level is enriched with custom-built wood shelving cabinets providing expansive storage for clothes, linens and more. The primary suite with it's sophisticated ensuite bath features a level-walk-in shower and spa system and a private commode. An elevator provides access directly to the primary suite.

The third level provides two additional bedrooms and a full bath ideal for youngsters, guests, a home office, a sunny art studio or reading room!

The finished lower level is a perfect hang-out game room with a wet bar, pool table & another fireplace making the space very clubby & cozy. There's an additional room currently used as a home office that can be a home gym, art studio or hobby room. This level also includes a full bath and basement storage. A stairway leads outside to the enchanting walled private garden. Over the years the lower-level with private stairway access has been used as a separate apartment / guest suite.

Five bedrooms, five full baths, and three fireplaces throughout create a home that feels both intimate and impressive. The garden offers a full season of blooms in a hidden paradise.

Upgrades Abound: custom Shaker wood trim details on doors, windows, floor and ceiling moldings, a private elevator serving three levels and individually controlled mini-split HVAC units for custom comfort and energy management in addition to the full house zoned systems. A water treatment system, under-ground sprinklers and a fully integrated security package are important enhancements. The home has been meticulously maintained and is move-in ready, with wonderful opportunity to personalize or introduce a more contemporary aesthetic.

A 2-car garage with EV- charging port and off-street parking for three or more cars. The rear yard can accommodate a pool if desired.
Available by appointment.
