The house is located in a private arboretum-like setting featuring lush green meadows; varied mature plantings; and a magnificent saltwater swimming pool. A long paved driveway ascends from Jerusalem Road to the house, sweeping around a circular landscaped island to the right of the house which turns into a parking area at the level of the attached two-car garage. A wide expanse of lush green lawn stretches from the front of the house to a tree-lined border, in a layout that offers great privacy and an attractive sense of seclusion.

Strong points: Perched atop a hill on Cohasset’s famous road to Jerusalem, this lovely home is both elegant and charming. The house is located in a private arboretum-like setting featuring lush green meadows; varied mature plantings; and a magnificent saltwater swimming pool. Built in 1888, the original home was completely restored and updated 20 years ago, with a substantial addition 12 years ago that included a mudroom, new kitchen, powder room and family room on the first floor and a master bedroom en suite, a laundry room and a large spacious and multipurpose room on the second floor. The tastefully appointed interior spaces flow logically from one to the next, seamlessly merging the charm and character of the original structure, housing a magnificent living room, a beautiful formal dining room and a practical office/library, with 11 foot ceilings, four fireplaces and double staircases, with more modern spaces in the addition.
