About this home

Available for the first time in over 50 years, The Margaret Cummings Estate was once part of the original Coolidge Estate. The property is comprised of 12.53+/- acres including a proud c. 1909 brick Tudor Revival-style home with classical symmetry and proportions and a handsome detached carriage house. The house was designed by architect Charles Cummings for his sister Margaret and built in a pastoral setting that was further enhanced by landscape architects such as Arthur Schurcliff. The house is beautifully sited well-back from the road and at the crest of the property with long views over the gently sloping lawns, formal gardens, brick terraces, stone walls, fields and woodlands. The impeccably maintained 5,280-square foot residence offers 12 rooms, including 7 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and 8 fireplaces. The carriage house, formerly used as a barn and garage, is now exclusively used as a garage. It's hard to believe a special property like this exists just 25 miles from Boston.
